Kundalini yoga is more spiritual than other types of yoga. Whereas other types of yoga flow with the breath, Kundalini yoga combines chanting, singing, movements, and breathing in specific patterns.
The breath aspect of yoga is known as pranayama in Sanskrit. “Prana” means “life force”, while “ayama” means “stretching.” Yoga practitioners use the breath to calm the mind, and the physical postures help them to focus on the breath.
