Sarah, 
 
Welcome to the list.  The phenomenon you describe is called a  
kriya.  Essentially, it's the consequence of the Kundalini redirecting  
energy in your body and touching off a muscle contraction or other nervous  
stimulation in the process. 
 
Kriyas manifest when energy encounters a block (usually in the form of  
mental, emotional, or physical tension).  In routing around the block (or  
potentially through it), the energy  can sometimes cause symptoms such as  
involuntary muscle contractions, sensations of heat or cold, and so on. 
 
Unfortunately, in my experience there is no real "cure" for kriyas.  They  
are simply part of the experience.  My solution is to surrender to the  
energy doing what it needs to do, supplemented with regular yoga and  
breathwork to help ease or remove blocked energy.  Massage also seems to  
help.  This is an evolutionary process, so you may go through a number of  
stages where kriyas appear, then seem to vanish.  It is perfectly normal. 
 
There is a wealth of information in the list archives on kriyas, and I  
suggest you search there.
