Summer Solstice is the traditional gathering time for Kundalini Yoga teachers and practitioners.
My first Summer Solstice was in 1977, a year after I had moved into the New Haven, CT ashram. This was the first year we all gathered on the land known as Ram Das Puri. We set up our tents out past the parking lot, and hiked about a quarter mile to the showers and then a bit further to the Tantric Shelter. As the years passed, the camping tents moved closer and the Tantric Shelter grew larger.
An amazing discipline was born, the discipline of the Yogi. Sadhana practice begins at 3:00 AM with a musical wake-up call. Cold showers are followed by prayers and Kundalini Yoga. The day continues with more classes, more yoga, White Tantric Yoga, and music…lots of beautiful music in a serene, sacred landscape.
A cleansing diet is served. The main fare is protein-rich mung beans and rice, lettuce, hot sauce and Yogi Tea. This brings the body into a mildly alkaline state, a great balance for meditation.
If you intend to immerse yourself in this life changing experience, here are a few tips:
  • This is a drug and alcohol free environment
  • Everything is strictly vegetarian
  • Vitamin B15 will help you to oxygenate at altitude, the site in the Jemez Mountains is over 7,000 feet.
  • Bring organic skin and bug protection
  • Drink at least 80 ounces of water a day
  • Bring an attitude of gratitude and you can’t miss!

A.  Sit in easy pose with the hands in prayer pose in front of the chest.  Then move the hands downward with fingers pointing away from the body and then back up again to the original position.  This is a fast, shaking motion.  Long deep breathing. 3 Minutes

B.  Still sitting in easy pose, extend the arms forward, bending the arms at the elbow.  Keep the elbows in close to the body, upper arms extend somewhat beyond the shoulder, palms are open and facing the body.  Begin bringing the hands in toward the body and then back out again.  The movement is about 12 inches.  Form a circle with the mouth and breathe in and out rapidly through the mouth. 3 Minutes

C.  This is the same as part A., only breathe rapidly in an out through the mouth as in B. 3 Minutes

This well done video from expert village shows how to do the meditation Sa Ta Na Ma. Although the details are accurate, Leta Koontz forgets one essential detail. It is vitally important to cover your head with a natural fiber. Head coverings protect the sensitive solar centers during meditation.

The Sa Ta Na Ma strengthens the nervous system. We recommend trying it for 31 minutes a day for 40 days. It will change your life!
