Kimberley Lutz Madden began exploring yoga over 20 years ago, and in 2017 became a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher and in 2021 became 500ryt completing Levels II. After studying many forms of yoga, she was drawn most to the lasting effects that Kundalini Yoga provides. Kimberley believes that Kundalini yoga teaches you how to activate your own intuition, clear your chakras, and heal yourself. It is a very empowering practice that puts you in the drivers seat of your own life. Your mental capacity expands and your emotional state is strong and stable with this type of yoga which combines yogic exercises called Kriya’s, Mantras, mudras and meditation.

Kimberley is also certified in the following: Kundalini Reiki, Integrative Energy Therapy, Sound Healing Therapy, Psychic/Mediumship, Tarot, Astrology, SUP Core, Kundadance, Yogafit, Mind and Meditation, Pilates and Barre.

Yoga Biography of Cheryl Ann Luke- I have loved yoga ever since my first class 25 years ago, and have practiced several types of yoga including: Hatha, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Yin, and Kundalini yoga. But, it was Kundalini yoga and Yin yoga which provided me with specific tools for specific issues as well as a practice for overall physical, mental and emotional health. I became a teacher of Kundalini yoga (12/12/12) and Yin yoga (06/14/16) because I am passionate about uplifting my community physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. I look forward to practicing with you! I have been teaching the students in the DC Kundalini Yoga Collective (Washington, D.C.) in person since June of 2014, and on-line from April 2020 to the present time. From March until May of 2020, I was a substitute teacher for the Kundalini yoga classes at GROW Yoga in North Beach, Maryland, and I have been co-teaching an on-line Kundalini yoga class for GROW Yoga from May of 2020 to the present time. I taught Yin yoga for the Justice Occupational Health Organization at the United States Department of Justice from June through December of 2017. I also obtained a chair yoga teaching certificate for Kundalini yoga on July 27, 2017. Finally, I earned my First Degree Reiki certificate on April 20, 2002 and completed a refresher course for First Degree Reiki on June 6, 2020. I earned my Second Degree Reiki certificate on July 11, 2020. I am presently conducting remote reiki on clients.

I’ve been doing Kundalini Yoga since March 2017. I started doing it on the advice of my oncologist. She said I needed to do strength training. I am a longtime swimmer, but had never done any strength training and thought it was all lifting weights. I asked her to suggest a strength training exercise that didn’t suck. She said, “Yoga.” So I went to GROW. It’s literally less than a mile from my house but I’d never been there. I did my first Hatha class and liked it. The next class I went to was Kundalini Yoga. WOW. I found I LOVED the meditation. I was hooked and kept coming back. After a few years of doing the practice regularly, I took Teacher Training in January 2020. Yup, right in the middle of the pandemic. I really feel it helped get me through it.

Kundalini Yoga is a great workout and you can really feel the energy moving in your body. It’s wonderful to chant along with other people and feel connected to the Divine. I have moved my body in ways that I didn’t think possible, and challenged myself to keep going when I didn’t think I could. I love this practice and teaching continues to help me both deepen my own practice and share it with others. I hope you will join us and see what this practice might have to offer you!
