And it’s totally humbling.What’s your favourite kriya or meditation? In other words: I remain a student in all ways, forever learning how to keep up in new circumstances. If I’m in one place for longer than 4 days, I usually manage to get a few consecutive days of Kirtan Kriya under my belt… but my consistency lapses as soon as I have a back to back series of events. In truth, my current yoga practice is less of a practice and more of a hot mess of inconsistency! I’m presently 5 1/2 months into an 8-month international tour, and it’s been righteously hard to create any kind of routine for myself. What does your yoga practice look like now? Basically all of the freedom of expression and effervescent joy that I feel now has everything to do with the digging I’ve done whilst sitting on my yoga mat. It helped me find my sea legs in situations that would have been terrifying to a younger version of myself. Kundalini Yoga helped me tap into a wealth of wisdom, courage, and intuitive understanding, which made me more likely to take previously unfathomable leaps into the void. Probably the biggest thing that changed when I started practicing Kundalini for myself was the circumference of my comfort zone. My neutral mind strengthened, as did my resolve, as did my ability to show up in challenging circumstances. It changed my definitions of success and prosperity, right and wrong, good and bad. My relationship with my Self evolved, as did my relationships with others. My career path shifted, as did my priorities, boundaries, and focus. I stopped being an observer and started being a practitioner. I was born into this community born at home, in my parents’ bedroom in a yogic, wholistic, Sikh ashram in suburban Connecticut.Įven though this technology has been a part of my entire existence, this is still a valid question, because I didn’t always practice it. And of course until we actually UTILIZE whatever tools we have for wellness, healing, connection, and expansion - which is what Kundalini Yoga is to me all of the above and MORE - those tools don’t have their fullest impact on us. It wasn’t until I was in my mid-20s that I stopped seeing these practices as “t he weird stuff that my parents like to do,” and earnestly, willingly, curiously gave them a proper try for myself. I was introduced to Kundalini Yoga in the womb. When did you get into Kundalini Yoga, Jai-Jagdeesh? Whenever I play Jai-Jagdeesh’s music in my kundalini yoga classes, I’m inevitably asked: ‘Who, pray tell, was that?’ Well, everyone, it was the wonderfully bright, talented, quirky and humble Jai-Jagdeesh who’s currently singing those same beautiful mantras in a UK city near you over the next few weeks – PLEASE don’t miss her! Here she is…
