There are a wide range of students participating, from beginners to experienced yoga practitioners, so the exercises are designed to allow you to pace yourself. The total time will be 45 minutes / day. Most important, walk the middle path with regard to each session. DO NOT OVERDO OR OVER STRAIN and at the same time don’t have it be excessively easy either.

Participation Guidelines
Following are the guidelines which I suggest we follow…
- Please post all comments, questions and feedback of a public nature in the comments section of this post. This way all will benefit from the discussion. Feel free to ask questions or discuss issues, as that is one of the main reasons for this particular class format. Of course, you are free to email me as well if you would like the discussion to not be public.
- If you like, you can indicate with a comment that you have completed your daily session. Could be as short as “did it”, or of course could be questions, issues or more detailed feedback. The hardest part with a daily yoga and meditation practice is establishing consistency and regularity and I think having to acknowledge that you completed your daily sadhana (spiritual work) will help in facilitating that. In addition, your comments could inspire others as well.
- I will post all information regarding the class in the comments section below as well, so please check periodically for updates.
- Before starting your daily yoga and meditation session, take a moment and tune in to your higher self for guidance and protection. At the end of every session, visualize yourself and the world as you would like it to be.
- Do the best you can and modify the class as you require. It is more important to do something, than be overwhelmed or not do anything at all.
- I wish you all a wonderful learning and transforming experience.

Has anyone here ever been to the Self Realization Fellowship in Encinitas, California? It’s absolutely beautiful there and what a lovely place to meditate (although you can meditate anywhere, anytime, and “be” there spiritually anyway) but it’s a lovely place — just thought I would pass that on. . . Peace, love and light.
Hi Anmol, I am a kindergarten teacher in Al Ain, UAE. I would like to participate in the Intro to Guided Meditation and Kundalini Yoga Classes. I have done some yoga and practice meditation daily. I am very interested in getting back into yoga and guided meditation.
Thanks.
I discovered your website a few days ago and have been trying a few of the breathing exercises and the Zen meditation quite randomly. I’m so impressed by your site and feel I’m at a point in my life in which I need and can benefit from it, that I figure it’s time to commit to a course. #101 is the one for me I think and I’m about to do the first session now. Quite excited by this. Thanks again for an absolutely extraordinary site!!
I dont mean to be too in your face, but Im not sure I understand with this. Anyhow, thanks for sharing and I think I’ll come to this blog more often. Regularly I do not make comments on websites, but I have to say that this post really forced me to do so. Really fantastic post. Really great and I will be coming back for more information at your site and revisit it! Thank you.
thanks a lot,i am new to meditation but i think i can manage,this course exites me…
I have just completed week two of this course. I am very eager to move on to the next kriyas. Thank you again for all of the information provided on this site.
I started week 2 of this class today. I’m already getting a lot out of it and I am excited about keeping up my pace.
I have now completed 2 days of this class. Thank you for all of the wonderful information provided through your site.
Dear Anmol,
This is very inspiring and i also recommend others to do so, though i am a bit on and off with meditation
since long and lately taken up yoga,which i want to continue with your help and i am sure this will be helpful for both me and my friends.
Thank you
Dear Anmol,
If you would allow me, I would like to participate in this class. I am an emergency room nurse who is looking for instruction in both yoga practices and meditation. Please advise me if I should start with a different class.
Blessings
Dear Anmol,
I’m just ready with the first week and just started with the second one. It feels great,
thank you so much for your work!!
With love and God Bless!
Hi Anmol,
This is a great blog and I highly appreciate what you’re doing here.
I always wanted to get into a daily meditation practice but could never find sound free advice for it. Your blog is very informative and I hope to reap as much benefit from it as I can and also help others after I learn the various techniques.
I am starting this course from tomorrow and I hope to make it a life long practice.
Thanks and God Bless
Thanks for making invaluable info free. I am planning to start kundalini yoga sometime this week. I am still going through the material and comments.I noticed that most comments are either from a beginner or when they are through 2 to 3 weeks of the practice. Looks like few people started practicing this method about 4 years ago. I couldn’t find any latest comments from those people. Are those people still following this method or moved on to something more advanced or trying something different?. I know Anmol has been doing it for several decades. It would be great if people with 2 to 3 years of experience also write their comments about it. It will be more inspirational for the people like me. thanks again.
Obvously new here! I imagine any practice involving 3rd eye would be the same thing. I received the word PINEAL during this mornings meditation and didn’t realize how interchangable the two words would be. Thank you. :)
Hi Anmol,
Have you posted any articles or yoga practices re: stimulating or activating the pineal gland? I’m sure you have but I haven’t been able to pin point anything. I am most appreciative of the bounty of information you share with us so willingly. God Bless.
Hi Anmol,
I am absolutely delighted with your website! I am currently on the second week of the Kundalini exercises and enjoying every minute. The breathing exercises (especially the breath of fire) are my favourite. I even felt a difference after the first class, which was amazing. Thank you for your guidance and expertise. I wanted to ask you, what exercises are next when I have finished the Kundalini exercises for week 2.
Blessings
Good Morning Amhol and friends,

I can now do this at home in the Netherlands. wonderful.. I will let you know how how things are working out these weeks. For now I am going to be gentle and enjoy each step of the way and honour each breath..this is a beautiful day to start.
