Activate Kundalini and Awaken to Light

Do you feel a quiet pull toward something more — a life with deeper meaning?

Discover how your life changes when you activate your Kundalini—the hidden energy within you?

A Kundalini Tantra Retreat is an invitation to rise into that energy. Not to escape, but to transform. To meet parts of yourself you may have forgotten.

Upward Spiral Kundalini retreat

Activate Your chakras and inner force

Kundalini awakening is a dynamic journey that touches every level: body, mind, and soul. 

To support your inner transformation you will learn time tested kundalini techniques to activate your chakra energy and open the flow of life within you. When this energy rises, you begin to live more from your heart: free from past fears and with increased clarity.

You will learn powerful yogic practices – chakra opening pranayamas, chakra meditations, and kundalini yoga kriyas – that tap into your deepest being. These help you to release old patterns, emotional blockages, and realize your inner potential. 

Kundalini awakening does not happen overnight. But with patience and everyday practice you are likely to experience small miracles in your everyday life.

Kundalini Yoga Retreat can be challenging, but it can plant a seed that changes your life.

A Kundalini Awakening Retreat is an opportunity to heal, reflect, and emerge stronger, more connected to the essence of who you truly are.

Ask Winnie About Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Awakenign and Chakara activation

Kundalini Awakening is not a one-time event, but, an ongoing process requiring dedication and patience. It is a personal and very subjective experience that may vary greatly from person to person. Some may get a gradual and gentle energy awakening, while others may have intense and overwhelming sensations. A Kundalini Activation Retreat will teach you practices that work, and give you the tools to manage your awakening process.

You will find many posts online that talk of dramatic experiences with Kundalini awakening. These kinds of experiences are very rare with correct preparation and guided practice (see The 3 Stages Of Kundalini Awakening on the Kundalini Awakening page). They can, however, happen spontaneously. This is why guidance from an experienced teacher is essential. We  belive in the power of time tested techniques to create change without the need of divine intervention of a God or a Guru. 

Kundalini Yoga has its roots in the tantric tradition. When tantra was suppressed during the Moghul invasions, many of its inner practices were preserved in what later became known as Kundalini Yoga. 

Both traditions share the understanding that we can awaken through the energy body, using breath, mantra, kundalini kriyas and activating internal energy channels, ida and pingela. 

Yet, Kundalini Yoga took a more ascetic turn. It focusses on the individual transformation without working with relational practices and energies. The lifestyle is also sattvic — avoiding hot spices or stimulating foods that might stir sexual energy — keeping the focus on purity and subtle inner awakening in the individual.

What we teach is the ancient form of Kundalini Yoga. It is not the more modern version invented by Yogi Bajan, which has little to do with the tantric tradition. 

What is Kundalini?

Kundalini is not merely a serpent-like energy but the sacred womb of the universe — the source of all creation. When you awaken Kundalini, you connect not just with your inner energy, but with the universal life force itself.

Definition
In the ancient yogic texts, Kundalini is described as the cosmic womb — the origin of creation that lies dormant within every human being. It is often symbolized as a coiled energy at the base of the spine, but its true essence is universal consciousness waiting to unfold.
Connection to the Universe
To awaken Kundalini is to merge your individual awareness with the infinite intelligence of the universe. It is not simply about energy rising upward — it is about remembrance of your divine origin.
How to Awaken it Safely
Safe awakening happens through balance — grounding as much as you rise. Kundalini practices are designed to harmonize the nervous system, strengthen the body, and prepare the mind to hold expanded awareness without overwhelm.
How to Raise Kundalini
The awakening unfolds through the opening of the chakras and balancing of the two main energy channels — Ida and Pingala — which flow along the spine. When these are harmonized, energy naturally rises through the central channel, Sushumna, bringing clarity, transformation, and deep inner peace.

The Seven Chakras and Their Qualities

Though many chakra systems exist — some with five, others with twelve or more — the seven-chakra system is the most widely known today. Its popularity largely comes from modern psychology, where Carl Jung linked chakras to human archetypes and stages of consciousness.

Understanding the System
The chakra system describes subtle energy centers within the body that reflect both physical and spiritual dimensions of life. In truth, chakras are not physical organs but gateways of consciousness — mirrors of our emotional and energetic state.
Origin and Interpretation
Ancient texts mention many chakra systems — from five to 114 chakras — each serving different meditative or energetic purposes. The seven-chakra framework we know today was popularized through Tantra and later adapted by Carl Jung, who associated each chakra with psychological growth and inner transformation.
The Journey
Rather than a fixed map, the chakras can be seen as a living journey — an evolution from fear toward love, from separation toward unity. As Kundalini rises, awareness expands, old patterns dissolve, and the heart becomes the true center of being.
The Seven Chakras Overview
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara): Safety, grounding, belonging - moving from fear to trust.
2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): Flow, creativity, and emotional connection.
3. Solar Plexus (Manipura): Personal power, self-esteem, and transformation.
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata): Love, compassion, forgiveness - the bridge between earth and spirit.
5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Expression, truth, and authenticity.
6. Third Eye (Ajna): Intuition, clarity, and insight beyond the rational mind.
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Union with the infinite - consciousness fully awakened.
True Awakening
Kundalini awakening is not about reaching the top or forcing energy upward — it is a soft unfolding of love through every layer of being. When fear dissolves into awareness, each chakra naturally opens, revealing the inner harmony that was always there.

We are there if you need support in your process. Should you need support, emotional or otherwise, during your Kundalini Yoga Retreat; please feel free to talk with the teacher at the Retreat Center.

Teaching on the Kundalini Activation Retreat is based on Indian and Tibetan forms of kundalini tantra yoga, and is non-dualistic, meaning we do not practice deity worship. We teach various forms of tantric and kundalini yoga meditations, chakra activating asanas and chakra opening pranayamas. In addition we do supportive practices such as active or dynamic meditations and emotional release work. During and in between practices we discuss tantra and yoga philosophy.

Kundalini Awakening Retreat Program

activate your chakras and shine your Light

There are chakra opening pranayama, asana and Kriya classes on each day of the Kundalini Awakening Retreat. Typically, each day consists of a 2-hour chakra activating yoga class in the morning and a Kundalini Kriya class again in the afternoon. We have a tantric meditation class every second evening, plus time for personal practice and quite reflection. 

We adjust the program together. We are very open for your personal wishes (eg. maybe you want to learn Tibetan or Kashmiri Kundalini tantra). If you are looking to awaken through the energy of love, you might want to check our Kundalini Tantra Yoga Retreat. A normal day on the Kundalini Yoga Retreat day might look something like this:

Your daily schedule
08.00 - 09.00

Your day starts gently with  Morning Smoothie or Detox Tea to ease you gently into the day. 

Mornings session is a 2-hour chakra yoga session. This includes many usual hatha yoga practices,  but with focus on chakra activation. You will learn chakra activating practices like Syria Kriya and Pranayamas with chakra activation. Uniquely for this retreat we teach the Tibetan Rites of Thul Khor serve as a. shield against negative energy and activates the chakras if practices consistently over time.  

Yogi Living Brunch. A typical brunch consists of bread or healthy pancages with local honey, fruits, coconut and cacao, yogurt with fruit compote, chia pudding, fresh orange juice, coffee and tea. However, we follow your dietary requirements and adjust according to your diet and needs. 

Basic Kundalini Kriya Yoga and Chakra Activation Course
Learn and practice powerful Kundalini Yoga Techniques to awaken your kundalini energy. Both through focused activation of each chakra and awakening the chakras together through energy flows moving up the frontal passage. You will also learn about the chakras (do they even exist): What they are, their names, colour and location, as well as different chakra systems (7, 11, 12, 21 and 114). 

Enjoy a wholesome, balanced vegetarian or vegan meal that supports your digestion and tastes naturally good. For our Kundalini retreats, we serve sattvic food: pure, balanced, and calming. Avoiding overly spicy or heating ingredients helps to maintain inner harmony and support the energetic awakening process.

We cater for your special dietary requirements. 

Time for walks in nature and own practice. 

Dinner is light, typically a nourishing soup or fresh salad, served to support gentle digestion and prepare your body for the evening Kundalini meditation. We alternate between group practice one night and self-guided practice the next, giving you space for both connection and personal integration.

 In these sessions, you are invited to a journey inward through meditative techniques, and explore which technique resonates most deeply. Whether it’s breath-centered awareness, the sacred lotus visualization, the golden egg, or the grounding chocolate meditation, this time is dedicated to your personal exploration and spiritual unfolding.

Your booking includes accommodation, meals and basic facilities plus teachings in traditional Kundalini Tantra Yoga. Please be aware, these teaching are in no way connected with the Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan. They are taken directly from source: the traditional unadulterated Yoga Tantras of India and Tibet. 

Not at all. Yoga classes are optional and tailored to individual needs, without the complicated postures you may see online. If you would rather meditate sitting on a chair or a meditation pillow that is perfectly fine.
