What aligns with my intentions and experience?

This 9-day cleanse can be done on a scale of beginner (subtle cleanse) to Advanced (master cleanse), here’s how to understand your own intentions and path.

  1. I am new or newer to the practice of Kundalini Yoga and I have not much prior experience with any other form of yoga or practice. Please conduct each class 1 time, therefor you should be doing one practice every 3 days and work your way up. If you feel you would like to add a practice in-between — I suggest doing just the meditation portion each day to keep a daily practice.

  2. I am newer to the practice of Kundalini Yoga and I have experience in other forms of yoga or practice. You repeat each class at your own awareness of the body, you should be able to repeat 2/3 days. However, you must conduct a practice each day — meditation each day is required.

  3. I am an intermediate to advanced practicing Kundalini Yogi/ini. I suggest you do this practice everyday in full, meaning each class 3 times. (3 x3 = 9 days).

Balance the body

what we choose to nourish ourselves with becomes part of the practice. By keeping the body light and clear, we allow its natural healing intelligence to activate more fully. Because this work touches the glandular system, it’s important to support it with foods that cleanse, balance, and create space for more light to flow. I’ve shared some of my favourite simple recipes as inspiration for you to try during these nine days.

My grocery list rule… I was never good at restrictions so I discovered my own way to honour the body.

If it’s on the list, it can be consumed — This is how I love to approach these cleanses. Then it leaves room for my own creation — fun! some days it looks like throwing veggies in a bowl or a simple fruit — other days it looks like putting effort into something a little more indulgent. Listen with discernment and nourish the body in every way you are called. I have listed what is recommended and what it is you must sacrifice while we work with the intelligence of your light.

    • Grains & Legumes: quinoa, rice, millet, mung beans, lentils, chickpeas

    • Vegetables & Fruits: any local, fresh, and seasonal produce (preferably organic if available)
