#49 - Kundalini Yoga and Mental Health - Yoga in Argentina with Cori Giunti

Welcome to Episode #49 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Cori Giunti onto the show. She is a yoga teacher from Argentina and a psychologist as well. My conversation with Cori was so touching as we took a deep dive into the spiritual world of Kundalini yoga, and the world of mental health as well. I hope that this conversation made you curious about the mind-body connection and how yoga can help process trauma and psychological issues. If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about Kundalini yoga and mental health then this is the conversation for you. Tell me more about Cori Giunti Cori Giunti is a Kundalini Yoga instructor. She currently teaches weekly classes at the Yoga Center, Valletierra, applying other tools to awaken consciousness. She has been a practitioner of Kundalini yoga for 9 years, and did her yoga teacher training in Argentina, and has studied under Snatam Kaur. Her passion is to serve people in order to feel good, get better, and become more connected and more conscious. She is a psychologist as well as a yoga teacher. What to expect in the Yoga In Argentina episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Cori and I then dove into what Kundalini yoga is and what practicing it is like. She defined Kundalini yoga as the yoga of awareness. And even though it involves physical movement and asanas, it’s not the primary focus. Kundalini includes a lot of mantras, chanting, singing, pranayama, and movement. We then dove into how yoga has impacted Cori’s life, and how yoga can help her patients and people in general process trauma and work through the emotions that are blocked and stored in our bodies. We then talked about what yoga is to Cori, a place where she feels safe and a place to feel a lot of love. Curious?
