  Everyone who tries to succeed in all areas of life needs to pause from time to time so as not to burn out. Sometimes just an hour dedicated only to yourself helps to relieve your head, relax your body and feel spiritual liberation from everyday hustle and bustle. For this purpose, many people have already chosen Kriya Yoga.
  Let’s get a little more detailed, Kriya Yoga: what is it?
  
  Kriya yoga is an ancient practice that combines meditation, physical and breathing exercises that help to awaken the vital energy of Kundalini.
  
  Kundalini (Latin for “coiled&rdquois an esoteric name for the energy concentrated in the center of the human spine. It is believed that the correct yogic asanas can “awaken” her. Awakening means its movement from the bottom up along the vertebrae, as a result of which the chakras are activated one by one.
  
  For many centuries, only the most worthy disciples of the guru-master have been trained in the direction of Kriya in yoga. It was a kind of secret knowledge that only enlightened people had access to. It was believed that a person who owns this practice sees the truth of being. He evolves in his self-consciousness and rises a step above other people. The very name of the practice even refers to this: kriya yoga can be translated from Sanskrit as “action/work/movement”. Only a few decades ago, the method became open and accessible to every spiritual seeker. Now Kriya is one of the most popular and promising directions in yoga.
  
  As it was said at the very beginning — many modern people use this practice as a way to pull themselves together and get rid of the clamps. Kriya helps to calm the flow of restless thoughts, disconnect from unnecessary information noise, get out of worries about bygone days and get rid of fear of the future. A person attains mental balance and harmony between spiritual and physical nature, while not forgetting about the search for truth. Regularly practicing Kriya Yoga, you can notice tangible personal growth and progress both on the physical and mental level, namely:
  
  - Oxygen saturation of the blood due to breathing exercises and concentration on each breath. The same applies to the natural withdrawal of carbon dioxide from the body when exhaling.
  
  - Normalization of the nervous system and acceleration of mental processes through meditation and mindfulness practices.
  
  - Strengthening the immune defense of the body. It has been proven that those who constantly practice Kriya Yoga improve their overall health. All thanks to the fact that a person learns to listen to himself and recognize the alarm signals of his body. In addition, Kriya, like many other yogic practices, goes well with a special, pure vegetarian diet.
  
  - Stabilization of the emotional background. Yoga teaches you to be sensitive and kind to yourself, to feel gratitude for life with every breath of fresh air. A person who has comprehended Kriya sees simple truths and knows how to dissolve in the moment.
  
  - Improved concentration of attention, and as a result — improved academic performance in school and work.
  
  - The body becomes stronger and more resilient — the volume of the lungs increases, and the legs and arms become stronger and more flexible if you perform asanas correctly. A Kriya Yoga practitioner literally blooms and looks younger.
