Check out this comprehensive article from AnmolMehta.Com on teaching a Kundalini yoga class. Even if you’re not a Kundalini teacher, this article has lots of thoughtful tips for leading a class.

I really appreciate the notes on “Tuning In”:

Always start a class with tuning in.  Yoga is not just a physical science.  It is a spiritual science and without spirit, you may as well be doing aerobics or something.  In yoga, whether you have been explained it or not, you are dealing with cosmic energies, you are dealing with Kundalini & Prana.  Such energies should be approached with respect, and the purpose of tuning in is ask your Higher Self and the Universe for Protection, Guidance and Inspiration.  This ensures the energies do not harm you, you are guided correctly and you are provided ample inspiration to see the journey all the way back to the Source.

Enjoy!
