During Spirit Voyage's 40 Day Global Sadhana: Radiant Body, several questions have come up from our participants. In this video, Kundalini yoga teacher Anne Novak gives a thorough and clear explanation of many answers. Drawing on her background as a physical therapist, she answers questions on tight trapezius muscles. Wearing her hat as an experienced Kundalini yoga teacher, she answers why we only balance on one leg. Many questions get answers in this informative video from our Global Sadhana leader Anne Novak!

Can you please explain what sadhana is exactly? I thought it meant you must get up at 3:30am and meditate every day. That’s too early for me at this time in my life. Can I do Sadhana at another time? If so, what do I do?
I practice kundalini yoga and meditate every day. Does that count?
Sadhana means daily practice. Within Kundalini yoga, you can casually refer to “getting up for sadhana” as the type you do at 3:30 am. However, sadhana can refer to any practice that you do daily, such as this Radiant Body kriya, where people do it whenever it suits them. Blessings!
Thanks to Anne and to everyone involved in making this video. I deeply appreciate Anne’s responding to questions that pop up during this 40-day practice.
You are bliss…thank you so much! I am Not joining the 40 days this time,but I do it once in a while ! Where is your yogaplace? Maybe I Drop in by Chance … Love and light Regina Pavan K .
Many blessings. Thank you so much, Anne, Ramdesh, and Spirit Voyage. I love this Kriya, the video, and the Q & A responses. The last 5 minutes of the Q&A were especially helpful. Very beautiful and humble. Sat Nam
