Taming the Kundalini
Alternative Therapies Health & Wellness Energy Healing Kundalini Yoga Tantra & Shaktism Meditation & Pranayama Eastern Philosophy & Spirituality Teacher Training & Reference
Taming the Kundalini by Swami Satyananda Saraswati is the go-to manual for yogis who want to awaken kundalini safely and productively. Published by the legendary Bihar School of Yoga, this 2007 illustrated paperback distills decades of ashram experience into a step-by-step curriculum that balances postures, pranayama, mudra, bandha and meditation. Unlike New-Age kundalini books that gloss over risks, Swami Satyananda gives clear cautions, diagnostic checkpoints and remedial practices, making the text equally valuable for solo students, yoga-teacher trainees and holistic-health professionals who need a reliable reference on energy-body physiology.
What makes this copy especially appealing is its very-good, smoke-free condition—pages are crisp, diagrams are unmarked, and the 220 mm textbook height lies flat on the mat for easy practice consultation. At 190 pages it is compact enough to travel in a retreat bag yet encyclopedic in scope, covering shatkarmas, chakra psychology, and the rarely-taught “emergency shut-down” techniques used in traditional ashrams. Collectors value the Bihar School imprints for their sturdy Indian-paper editions that stay intact after years of daily sadhana, and this 2007 printing is the last one produced under the direct supervision of the lineage before later re-typesettings.
For modern readers the book is a bridge between ancient tantra and contemporary mental-health language: chapters map kundalini phenomena onto nervous-system responses and offer yogic prescriptions for anxiety, depression and attention issues. Young adults appreciate the straightforward anatomical illustrations, while seasoned practitioners use the progression tables to gauge when they are ready for more advanced techniques such as kechari mudra or nauli kriya. Whether you are building a mind-body-spirit library, supplementing a yoga-teacher syllabus, or searching for a practical wellness gift that will be referenced for decades, Taming the Kundalini remains the definitive, time-tested guide to unlocking transformative energy without burnout.
