Recent Review
Karuna’s Light on Kundalini: Your Lifestyle Guide to Yoga & Awakening is a refreshing antidote to the noise surrounding modern spirituality. Instead of offering quick fixes or mystical theatrics, she delivers a grounded, intelligent, and deeply human guide to Kundalini Yoga as a lived path. With more than four decades steeped in practice, teaching, and international service, Karuna brings authenticity and maturity to every page.
Her explanation of yoga’s cosmology — from Prakriti and Purusha to the Gunas and the workings of the mind — is woven with clarity and relevance. She makes ancient yogic philosophy accessible without diluting its depth, connecting it seamlessly with neuroscience, emotional awareness, and daily life.
But it’s her personal stories that give the book its heartbeat. Her account of returning to a flooded home, and the spiritual insight that followed, is a rare blend of vulnerability, discernment, and grace. She writes about grief, reinvention, identity, and resilience with disarming honesty.

A companion resource to Light on Kundalini: Your Lifestyle Guide to Yoga & Awakening, The Light on Kundalini Yoga Manual provides an in-depth, structured exploration of Kundalini Yoga kriyas — sequences designed to support physical regulation, mental clarity, and energetic balance. This manual offers practical, step-by-step guidance for integrating each practice into your daily routine, with an emphasis on sustainable growth and self-awareness. Designed to complement the foundational teachings of the original book, it serves as a practical reference for deepening your practice, understanding the physiological and energetic benefits of each kriya, and building a personalized path toward long-term well-being and self-discovery.
