Kundalini Yoga with Mardi MAY
The yogi’s say: “To stay young, stay flexible!”
The practice of Kundalini Yoga (as taught by Yogi Bhajan) uses posture to bring more flexibility to the spine and body, meditation to bring more stillness to the mind, breath to re-balance our systems and mantra to safely stimulate and bring you more health and vitality.
Sometimes relaxing, sometimes a bit challenging, sometimes downright kooky
This inclusive technology of yoga brings about shifts within that you may not even be aware of. During a class you are encouraged, and reminded, to bring your awareness into your body – and make the practice your own, working within your own limits – whatever they are in the moment.
Mardi has been practising Kundalini Yoga since first discovering it over fifteen years ago. In 2016 she took the plunge and completed the training to be able to share it with her community – and loves it!
Easy Kundalini Yoga with Mardi MAY
Designed for those with lesser physical capabilities (or those that love gentle yoga), these classes offer options for practising yoga on a chair or the floor, or a bit of both. Following the structure of a Kundalini Yoga class, but done slower with more attention on listening to your body in each moment.
Recommended for:
Students (beginners & experienced) who would like a gentle class, and students that have some physical restrictions (please seek medical advice prior to attending). Students who have trouble getting up and down from the floor are encouraged to practise on a chair to begin – and when you feel your body awareness/ability has increased you may like to move to the floor.
Please note that the Moana venue is upstairs. If you struggle with stairs please see Woodcroft classes for easier access.
A typical class may include:
- ‘Tuning in’ with the Adi Mantra chant (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo)
- Breath practices
- A ‘kriya’ (which is like a prescribed set of body postures and exercises)
- Deep relaxation
- Meditation
- Ends with a projected healing meditation (May the longtime sun – song)
A little bit about Kundalini Yoga
(as taught by Yogi Bhajan)…
You’ll usually find a Kundalini Yoga instructor dressed all in white (including a head covering) and they will direct the class but won’t single you out, or move around the room and adjust you into a posture. During class you are encouraged to work with your body’s uniqueness, and make the postures your own, closing your eyes when you’re comfortable with the exercise, and turning your awareness and attention into your body.
For more information about attending a class, see my blog – Kundalini Yoga Practice Guidelines here
I do have some props (mats and blankets) available, but I recommend you bring your own – so they can soak up your ‘yoga vibes’.
What to bring:
- Yoga mat
- Blanket for relaxation
- Cushion for meditation/sitting if you wish (chairs are provided for chair yoga)
- Water bottle
- An open mind and willingness to give it a go – even when it seems a bit kooky 🙂
I also have a small range of books and equipment available for purchase – credit/debit cards and cash accepted.
Thanks for your interest!
In gratitude,
Mardi

See below for FAQ’s about Kundalini Yoga….
Kundalini Yoga, also referred to as the yoga of awareness, was brought to the West back in the late 60’s by Yogi Bhajan. It is a comprehensive collection of yoga technology that includes posture, breath, mantra and meditation to safely stimulate our Kundalini energy for greater health and wellbeing.
There are many ways to practice Kundalini yoga – and generally a typical class will include ‘tuning in’ with the Adi Mantra chant (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo) followed by some breath practice, a ‘kriya’ (which is like a prescribed set of body postures and exercises), deep relaxation, and meditation, ending with a projected healing meditation (May the longtime sun – song).
You’ll usually find a Kundalini Yoga instructor dressed all in white (including a head covering) and they will direct the class but won’t single you out, or move around the room and adjust you into a posture. During class you are encouraged to work with your body’s uniqueness, and make the postures your own, closing your eyes when you’re comfortable with the exercise, and turning your awareness and attention into your body.

Not at all. Most of Mardi MAY’s classes are designed with beginners in mind. First time and experienced yogi’s are welcome to attend. Some classes are gentle relaxation classes (great for people that have some minor physical restrictions), while some are a bit more physical to increase your energy. Mardi MAY also offers chair yoga some weeks – for those that struggle getting down on the floor and sitting cross legged. Chairs are also there if you’d prefer to meditate on a chair. Please see class calendar below for more info.
No you can attend whenever you like when classes are offered. However, it’s great motivation and learning to attend weekly group yoga sessions. There is also a great sharing of energy when doing yoga in a group, rather than home alone. It’s also great for expanding your flexibility – and decreasing stress.
Depending on venue sessions go for approximately 50-75 mins and prices vary depending on venue costs, differing programs, and overheads but range from $ contributions for community classes to $15/$10 conc. See class links for more info and specific costs.
Concession and class passes are available. And if you are struggling financially please come and see me so we can work something out.
I do have some props (mats and blankets) available, but I recommend you bring your own – so they can soak up your ‘yoga vibes’. Bring your yoga mat, blanket for relaxation, cushion for meditation if you wish, and some water. You should also take payment, an open mind, and willingness to give it a go – even when it seems a bit kooky :).

In Mardi’s Kundalini Yoga sessions she will be dressed all in white, and have her head covered.
