What is the policy for modifying postures in Kundalini Yoga kriyas for those who have physical limitations?
Kundalini Yoga kriyas should be taught strictly as Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, taught them. Yogi Bhajan has explained that postures can be taught for shorter times if necessary for beginners or seniors, but under no circumstances should postures be added, subtracted or substituted. If a student cannot do an exercise, Yogi Bhajan advises that they skip it, and do the breath and mantra. (Note: The student may not be able to do the postures perfectly, but they should be encouraged to make the attempt to the best of their ability.
