I have been thinking about this for a while as you meditate one gets experiences which are similar to those described in yoga texts. The yoga texts discuss energy centres and the flow of energy through them starting from the Muladhara.
In Theravada Buddhism, all these experiences related to Kundalini are categorised into Piti. Also, there is no reference to for awakening and making it flow through the chakras. I guess this might be since these experiences can be a source of attachment to the blissful feeling this is not directly related to letting go of craving and also people may be preoccupied with these experiences than developing higher wisdom.
Path consciousness happens balanced with the Jhana when insight and calm are well balanced:
The First Jhāna Sotāpatti Path-consciousness together with initial application, sustained application, joy, happiness, and one-pointedness,
The Second Jhāna Sotāpatti Path-consciousness together with sustained application, joy, happiness, and one-pointedness,
The Third Jhāna Sotāpatti Path-consciousness together with joy, happiness, and one-pointedness,
The Fourth Jhāna Sotāpatti Path-consciousness together with happiness and one-pointedness,
The Fifth Jhāna Sotāpatti Path-consciousness together with equanimity and one-pointedness.
These are the five types of Sotāpatti Path-consciousness.
So are the Sakadāgāmī Path-consciousness, Anāgāmī Path-consciousness, and Arahatta Path-consciousness, making exactly twenty classes of consciousness. Similarly there are twenty classes of Fruit-consciousness. Thus there are forty types of supra mundane consciousness.
In the 1st - 3rd Jhana there is Piti which can be taken as the similarity with kundalini.
