Bhakti –

Leads you to an emotional path of surrender where it deals with love and devotion. Lots of emphasis is placed on the love of god, love of god in man and surrender to god’s will.

Karma –

Want to take the path to selfless action? Karma yoga makes it clear that we as humans must always work in harmony with the greater power which controls and runs the universe. “All actions and rewards are given to the divine”.

Kunalini Yoga –

It focuses on the psychic energy centers within the spine and is much different than most of the religious systems around the world. It is said that when one becomes aroused the potential energy becomes a conscious driven force and the person can result in a state of super consciousness and bliss. When two people have mastered themselves by relaxing their body tensions and being able to release their energy blocks, then because they have reached the same level they can come together and form a whole.
