Hello everyone, I started Kundalini Yoga a few days ago and I'm having a lot of trouble.

In the moments when I don't do Yoga I feel incredibly full of spinal discomfort. Basically I feel as if my spine needs to strain and is trying to stretch. This causes me discomfort. Even when I do Yoga I feel full of discomfort. Particularly in the Sat Kriya position.

When I do this last Kriya of the JoS pdf sequence, I feel a burning heat in my head. So much so that I can't do it for three minutes because my head is actually hot in the brain area and I feel like I'm burning. I don't feel this heat in the previous Kriyas, only in the last one.

I know it's nothing I need to worry about and I certainly won't die, but do you have any advice so I don't have to experience all this discomfort? At least for the spine thing?

I thank you deeply!
 
Start slow and build up from there.
When I was new the ones that should be repeated 108 times I did 54 and the ones that should be done 26 times I did 13 so basically I halved amounts of repetitions.

As for the last one I am also unable to do it for 3 minutes so just go for as much as you are comfortable with without feeling pressure or discomfort.

As for discomfort, it is common if you never did yoga before to feel like this as your body will need time adjusting to poses.
It's like building up muscles.

Try doing some basic stretching when you wake up or even before yoga as this will relax and prepare your body for yoga, at least that's what I do and it helps me.

I cannot help for the burning feeling in your head and I will leave that to more experienced people.
(My guess is it's positive because the last kriya sends the energy from base to top of the head and out, that's why you feel a lot of energy in your head,
OR your Crown chakra might be blocked, but like I say, I cannot guarantee what I say is true.)
