According to yoga, which energy lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is activated?
Kundalini yoga derives from Kundalini, defined as energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is activated, as by the practice of yoga, and channeled upward through the chakras in the process of spiritual perfection. Kundalini is believed to be power associated with the divine feminine. It derives its name through a focus on awakening kundalini energy through regular practice of mantra, tantra, yantra, yoga or meditation. Kundalini yoga is often identified as the most dangerous form of yoga because of the involvement of subtle energies.

Kundalini is just one form of yoga. I enjoy Hatha yoga, which involves doing a series of poses. Good exercise which increases flexibility and results in a wonderful sense of relaxation!

Sheila Robinson, I agree. I have been practicing for over 12 yrs. Balance and flexibility is essential for aging bodies and Hatha is a good way to retain and enhance them.

Read a book by C. G. Jung on Kundalini yoga, so I got my chakras energized.
