Perhaps you made a New Year's resolution this January -- and if you're anything like most Americans, it probably had something to do with health and fitness, or maybe stress relief. If that's the case, then head to the Denver Botanic Gardens for the weekly kundalini yoga practice.
"There's a health and wellness focus that we try to have in adult education," says Sarah Olson, adult-education manager at the DBG. "Kundalini yoga has a very unique approach in that no two classes are alike; there's always something new to learn, so there's never a very stagnant time."
The term "kundalini" in yogic philosophy refers to a spiritual energy located at the base of the spine; the poses in a kundalini yogic practice are designed to activate and awaken this energy, as well as balance the life-force centers throughout the body, and there's also an emphasis on meditation. Best of all? This class costs only $8 for members and $10 for the general public, which is a steal for ninety minutes of yoga -- so you'll be able to keep that "save more money" resolution, too!
The practice runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Gardens, 1007 York Street, and is open to all experience levels; bring water and a yoga mat. Call 720-865-3580 or visit www.botanicgardens.org to register.
