Men In Kundalini and Why it Matters
“There’s some psychedelic states you can achieve without taking anything...Apparently, the people that get really deep into kundalini yoga can literally have DMT trips. I have friends who have done DMT and have experienced DMT trips through kundalini. But you have to be really dedicated. And you can achieve these altered states of consciousness that are…incredibly profound.”

Kundalini classes tend to be filled with a majority of women, but lately there’ve been a handful of times where my classes are majority male, and sometimes ALL male.🤯 Is it because Russell Brand is talking kundalini on The Joe Rogan podcast? I will admit, when Russell mentions the teachings, I do get a spike of men in attendance. But I do believe the rise for Men in Kundalini is more than just celebrity pop-culture, and authentically in line with the rise of consciousness for the times.
With emotionally unsafe circumstances being a norm, this culture has manifested mass shootings, bullies, spiritual and political abuse, power trips, ego trips…you name it. Men in Kundalini matter because you become in touch with your emotional self in a way that’s healthy. You are aware with the feminine-self in a way that’s not competitive (my gun is bigger than yours!). Men in Kundalini are relaxed with their emotions, are ok with expressing themselves, and don’t feel like they are jeopardizing their masculinity. Fading away are the days that fathers tell their sons to “MAN UP” and not cry. Real men shed tears in the Age of Aquarius. Just like we saw grown-ass manly men crying over the death of Kobe Bryant, we embrace masculinity and femininity as partners, not domineering.
As pioneers of the Age of Aquarius, we are no longer male dominated. The feminine needs the masculine as much as the masculine needs the feminine. We’re learning collectively that ying/yang, balance, empathy, and compassion is so damn awesome.
To the men that are loving kundalini yoga, thank you for respecting the girls, thank you for not being creepy, and thank you for showing up and being authentically YOU. Kundalini is for the world, it’s for everyone, and I’m so happy to see it embraced by different types of souls, all with a different story. Us gals are so happy to have you in this practice. Isn’t it an amazing time to be alive?
And besides, how cool would it be to experience a DMT trip on meditation WITHOUT drugs?
