What is the best way to learn Kundalini meditation / yoga and where would someone can learn it?
I recommend a basic yoga class first. This way you know how to move, how far to push yourself, and how to not injure yourself. You can find these anywhere, anytime. Colleges have them, independent studios have them, there may even be a local yoga group that meets privately you can get involved with. Though I haven't begun Kundalini practice, I have heard from several sources that it can be dangerous if you push yourself, but any activity can be dangerous if not done properly, The best advice I've heard on Kundalini meditation is to take it slow. When you are awakening the consecutive chakras (from the base of the spine up), you meditate on the symbolic meaning of each chakra and how it relates to your life/how you can make that aspect present in your life. Through your meditation, if you notice something in your life is unfulfilled, make repairs before continuing meditation. If you can't find a yoga group, I highly recommend YOGAmazing's podcast. It's free and the instructor does a wide variety of exercises focusing on different parts of the body or for different purposes: http://www.youtube.com/user/yogamazing
That's the youtube link, you can also download his videos free on itunes. He'll also take requests if you need a particular yoga flow. Also, sessions longer than 10 minutes are only on itunes.
The risk that many people attribute to Kundalini practice is mental, but few rarely explain exactly what is dangerous about this mental affliction (called Kundalini syndrome). It occurs predominantly in people from Western civilization with certain spiritual views. When it comes to Eastern spiritual philosophy, the ultimate deity is never a deity/corporeal being. You may have Buddhas, gods, Kami, etc... representing aspects of the universe, but they are all part of one divine and infinite whole. The easiest description is "The Universal Principle", kind of an all is one perspective. This contrasts with traditional finite Western spiritual views that imply deities as actual beings who manipulate the universe. In the West, you have a god and the goal is to please him/her/it, in the East you are god and you are trying to unite yourself with the universe. This typically focuses on rejection of the material world and the individual self. For people buried in Western views, this kind of thinking can lead to depression, suicidal tendencies, anxiety, depersonalization, increase in heart rate, and general fear because it is out of step with Western cultures that value capital and individuality.
I would also recommend reading the work of James Lovelock whose Gaia Hypothesis provides a Western introduction. And even if it seems atheistic, check out pantheism or panentheism. These philosophies are highly present in Eastern spirituality, and to an extent have presence in Western philosophy....Abrahamic religions just kind of suppressed it for a couple millennia because the politicians couldn't control people who thought they were just as important as them.
