By the Chakra Babe team.

If you want to learn kundalini yoga online, these are two very different buys: a $47 course you keep, or a streaming membership with kundalini series inside it. Checked on 2026-10-29.

Kundalini for Babes vs Gaia (checked 2026-10-29):

|  | Kundalini for Babes | Gaia |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Price | $47 once (USD), or $97 with all four courses | $13.99 a month or $119 a year; Gaia+ $299 a year (USD, plus tax) |
| Free to try | the first lesson, the kundalini guides, and the free 7-day challenge | the first 7 days of Monthly or Annual |
| Kundalini content | 8 lessons, about 106 minutes of practice, building to a 40-day practice | kundalini series, like a 6-episode beginner series of about three and a half hours |
| Format | written steps with built-in timers, in your browser | streaming video classes |
| Also included | chakras, breathwork, aura and moon guides | 8,000+ films, documentaries and series |
| Refunds | 14 days | Annual and Gaia+ aren’t refunded for unused time, its FAQ says |

## Where Gaia wins

- Video. Seeing a teacher do sat kriya or ego eradicator is genuinely useful.
- Way more content, if you also want documentaries and other yoga styles.
- A free week to try it.

## Where Chakra Babe wins

- $47 once costs less than four months of Gaia Monthly, and it’s yours to keep.
- It’s built as a course: each lesson adds one piece, ending in a 40-day practice you can actually keep.
- Timers do the counting, so you can close your eyes through the three-minute postures.
- Fast breathing comes with a safety box saying who should skip it.

## Who should pick which

Pick Gaia if you learn by watching, or you’ll use the rest of the library. Pick Kundalini for Babes if you want a structured beginner course you pay for once, and you’re happy reading the steps and following a timer.

## FAQ

### Is Gaia worth it just for kundalini yoga?

It depends how much you’ll watch. Gaia’s beginner kundalini series is about three and a half hours; a year of Annual is $119. If kundalini is all you want, a one-time course, or Insight Timer’s free app, costs less.

### Does Kundalini for Babes have videos?

No, it’s written steps with timers and a breath pacer. If you’ve never seen the poses, watching one class on video first is a good idea.
