hope that everyone is doing well . I have just started to practice Kundalini Yoga, however, sometimes I have to stop my practice due to nausea. I practiced ashtanga for 2 years, without any problem. I was wondering if the nausea was a usual side effect for someone just beginning this practice. Thanks for your help.
Nausea during yoga, although sometimes related to improper breathing, usually is a side effect of the cleansing process KY sets forth. If you’re doing Kundalini it includes a lot more of pranayama and uses a lot more movement, which will produce stronger cleansing effects than more tranquil forms.
Be sure to drink plenty of water after your yoga session, to help the kidneys process all the junk that is being released from your organs into your bloodstream, and take a look at your lifestyle regarding diet (should you change it?), drinking (too much) coffee, etc.
AnonymousHow cool that you are trying a new type of yoga! Perhaps your body is just going through a transition. Be sure to hydrate and maybe try to keep incorporating your astanga practice as well.

AnonymousAstanga is so much more aerobic and up and down than Kundalini! I think it makes sense that the transition would make you sick. I am sorry to hear that though! Make sure you always take care and pull back a little if it gets too intense.
