The Serpent Power

The Serpent Power – by Sir John Woodroffe (writing under the pseudonym Arthur Avalon) is considered the foundational text for the modern understanding and application of Kundalini yoga in the West. It offers a scholarly and detailed explanation of the philosophical and practical aspects of this powerful spiritual practice. The central theme is the “Serpent Power” (Kundalini), described as a dormant, primordial cosmic energy coiled at the base of the spine. The book details how this energy is awakened through yogic practices.
