Kundalini yoga is a system of exercises brought to America by Yogi Bhajan, who began practicing them as a boy in India. Previously, Kundalini yoga had been kept secret, and only serious spiritual seekers had access to its teachings, according to 3HO, a Kundalini yoga organization founded by Yogi Bhajan. The practice involves linking the breath with movement and working to heal the body with specific postures and chanting.
Tone the Body
Each active Kundalini yoga movement works a different part of the body to build muscle strength. However, people looking to build large muscles might look elsewhere. Kundalini yoga is more effective at toning the body than making it tightly muscled, according to the New York University Langone Medical Center. Poses to tone the body include Cobra pose, in which you lie on the floor with your hands under your shoulders. Push your hands into the ground as you lift your chest into the air to form a back bend. Cobra pose stretches the entire upper body, including the abdomen, chest and shoulders, and makes the spine stronger. To strengthen the legs, try Frog pose. Begin this pose by squatting on the floor, balanced on the balls of your feet. Touch your heels together, spread your knees apart and place your hands on the floor between your legs. Straighten your legs as you inhale, keeping your head down and fingertips on the floor. Return to the original squatting position, your fingertips never leaving the floor, and repeat this movement for one to two minutes.
Balance Energy
Practitioners of Kundalini yoga believe the body has seven energy centers known as chakras. 
These energy centers begin at the crown of your head and occur at various places along your spine, such as your heart and belly. The last one lies near the sexual organs. Kundalini yoga practitioners believe the practice's poses, chanting and meditations balance the chakras and remove any energy blocks. In the Kundalini philosophy, the practice of working the body's energy centers is also believed to increase spiritual awareness.
Calm the Mind
Practitioners of Kundalini yoga believe that breath and emotion are intricately linked. For example, short, shallow breaths may create anxiety, while long, deep breaths promote peacefulness. The average person breathes 16 times per minute, according to 3HO Foundation, but when the breath slows to eight times per minute, the mind calms down. A goal of Kundalini yoga is to control the breath by connecting it to the body's movement. Practitioners slow their breathing as they move through each pose. The peacefulness felt can last long after practice ends.
Increase Flexibility
Many Kundalini yoga poses focus on increasing the body's flexibility, especially the spine. In this yoga's philosophy, a flexible spine helps ensure a healthy and youthful body. Exercises such as the spinal flex involve sitting on the floor with your legs folded in, but not crossed. Hold onto your ankles and flex your spine back and forth, allowing the momentum to move your body. Other poses focus on stretching the backs of the legs, sides of the belly, neck and shoulders.
Manage the Emotions
Kundalini yoga techniques may be useful in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Diego. The small study analyzed the effects of Kundalini yoga on 12 people with the disorder. Those who practiced Kundalini yoga meditations experienced statistically significant improvements on scales that measure OCD. A paper published in "Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine" reports that Kundalini yoga techniques might be helpful for a host of emotional disturbances, including depression, anger, fatigue and grief.
