Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Sat Nam Jack, May I ask which area in the UK you are from? There are quite a lot of teachers in the UK at the moment. You can telephone them via their numbers posted on the IKYTA website. I personally have not used a teacher either. I have found time and space to be my ultimate teacher in retrospect. Teachers do help without a doubt and can personally guide you like a Guru does. As for the Health Warnings, my wife being a doctor makes sure I take good care of myself! The health warnings are there so you do not injure yourself. Some kriya's can put undo stress onto body parts if you are not used to the pressure. Seeing a physician before you do any excercise they can tell you from your past history whether or not you should attempt certain postures. I would advise trying the easier kriya's and meditations to start and slowly build yourself up to the point where you can try others. This can take a number of years. It depends on how fast you can incorporate and master a posture and meditation. The speed is not really essential. Make sure you can go at YOUR own pace. If you still feel in need of a teacher then I suggest use the website above to contact the individuals in/around your area or keep posting onto this board as I am sure plenty of yeachers will respond. Blessings, Goldie Singh. jakaryan <jakaryan Kundaliniyoga Tuesday, 11 December, 2007 11:57:16 AM Kundalini Yoga The need for a teacher Hi there, Im new to this group so hello all. I'd like to ask a question about the need for a teacher. Im a physicist from the UK and have experience in chinese qigong, martial arts and meditation. I'd like to start practicing Kundalini and Kriya yoga but there are no qualified teachers even close to my area. I have an excellent book on the subject which gives clear intructions and it seems very easy to follow. But ive seen health warnings everywhere advising not to do without a teacher, which makes me not want to begin the practice. Is it essential to have a teacher? Given my previous experience with other systems (in which i did have a teacher). Thanks :-) Jak ________ Sent from Mail - a smarter inbox http://uk.mail.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Im from the south of England. I tried searching directories for people but couldn't find anyone qualified in Kundalini yoga in my area, plenty of Hatha yoga teachers. Ok thanks for the advice ill give it a good shot and if I feel any discomfort then ill just stop :-) Thanks, Jak Kundaliniyoga , Goldie <thenotoriousgold wrote: > > Sat Nam Jack, > > May I ask which area in the UK you are from?
