Question 1

What is Kundalini Yoga?

Accepted Answer

Kundalini Yoga is one of the most powerful and comprehensive forms of yoga available. Unlike many other yoga styles that focus primarily on physical postures, Kundalini Yoga combines kryas (sets of movements and poses), breathwork (pranayama), meditation, mantra, and sound therapy into a complete mind-body practice. Through regular practice, energy is awakened and distributed throughout the body, supporting physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth.

Question 2

Why are the classes men only?

Accepted Answer

Many men who would benefit from yoga are put off by the typical male-to-female ratio in a standard yoga class. Saturday morning sessions at Kundalini Yoga Leeds provide a safe, non-judgemental space where men can explore Kundalini Yoga without self-consciousness — where it's fine to be a beginner, fine to find it difficult, and fine to talk about what comes up. The classes are open to all men and to those who identify as male.

Question 3

Do I need any experience to attend?

Accepted Answer

No — sessions at Kundalini Yoga Leeds are designed specifically for beginners. You do not need any prior yoga experience, flexibility, or fitness level to attend. All kryas and poses are adapted to individual ability and every man is welcomed at exactly the level he is at.

Question 4

What happens in a typical session?

Accepted Answer

Each session runs for one hour and typically includes: tuning in with an opening mantra to centre and focus the group; a warm up to prepare the body; a krya — a set of specific Kundalini Yoga exercises; breathwork (pranayama) to regulate the nervous system; guided or mantra-based meditation; sound therapy using instruments and voice to stimulate the vagus nerve; and a closing mantra to seal the practice. No two sessions are identical — each one is thoughtfully designed around the needs of the group.

Question 5

Where are the classes held?

Accepted Answer

Sessions take place at The Old Stables, Ashling House, Back Church Ln, Adel, Leeds, LS16 8DW — a peaceful, private space in Adel, North Leeds, easy to reach from across Leeds and West Yorkshire with parking available nearby.

Question 6

How much do the classes cost?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are delivered as a 7-week course on Saturday mornings, 8am-9am, priced at £139 for the full course. A Cork Yoga Mat is also available to purchase for £29.99. Places are limited to 12 per group. Book at kundaliniyogaleeds.com/book-online.

Question 7

What should I bring to a session?

Accepted Answer

Bring comfortable, loose clothing you can move freely in, a yoga mat (or purchase one via the shop at kundaliniyogaleeds.com/category/all-products), a bottle of water, and an open mind.

Question 8

Who is the instructor?

Accepted Answer

Mark Franklin is a Level 1 Certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor, trained at the Kundalini University with Guru Singh and Brett Larkin, qualifying in July 2022. He has been practising Kundalini Yoga since 2014 and has trained extensively in Vancouver, Canada at the 3HO Kundalini Yoga Men's Camp in 2018 and 2019, and in Nosara, Costa Rica with Tommy Rosen and Kia Miller in 2022. He is also the founder of Start Recovery — a specialist addiction counselling practice based in North Leeds.

Question 9

Which of your classes is best suited for me?

Accepted Answer

The Saturday morning 7-week group course is ideal for most men — particularly beginners. It provides a structured, progressive introduction to Kundalini Yoga in a small group setting of no more than 12 men.
