Wear comfortable clothing to class. You may notice that the teacher and some students have their heads covered or dress all in white. This is to protect one's energy and to expand one's auric field. You may choose to do so to enhance your experience with Kundalini Yoga, however it is not an obligation.

All Kundalini Yoga classes follow a certain structure:

• Tune in with the Adi Mantra (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo)
• Pranayam (breathing exercise) and/or appropriate warm-up exercises 
• Kriya (a set of yoga exercises that have been put together to create specific effects) 
• Relaxation (sometimes the teacher will play the gong for relaxation) 
• Meditation

What to do after class?
Many places offer yogi tea (a healthy and delicious tea made from spices) after a Kundalini Yoga class. Feel free to hang out with the teacher and fellow students, enjoy a healthy cup of yogi tea and socialize. This is also a good opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the practice.
