Kundalini Yoga

The word Yoga means Union. Yoga creates union.
The practice of yoga is designed to bring you into contact with your infinite self - your link to the universe. Yoga uses movement, breath, sound and meditation to help relax and heal your mind, body, and spirit. Relaxation allows your spirit to flow more freely. When you feel your spirit, you feel a greater sense of well being and happiness - this is your birthright as a human being.  Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, PhD.,
Master of Kundalini Yoga, is a great way to recharge your body. This system of yoga creates immediate results.

The regular practice of Kundalini Yoga strengthens and balances the nervous and immune systems, increases endurance and flexibility and centers the mind. From your very first class youwill experience yoga's rewards. These benefits may include relief from back pain, stress, sadness, and insomnia.

In Kundalini Yoga practice, the benchmark of success is your own experience. This is true of our Teacher Training Program as well. As you develop your skills as an instructor, you will experience a profound shift in your sense of self. As you share these teachings with others, you may develop a powerful, life-altering awareness of the extremely subtle nature of all of your communications. This experience will serve you in all aspects of your life.

Yogi Bhajan

Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga, arrived in the United States in 1969 with a stated purpose: "I have come to create Teachers, not to gather disciples." For over 30 years, he traveled internationally teaching Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness. In 1969 Yogi Bhajan founded 3HO -- the Happy, Healthy, Holy Organization, based on his first principle "Happiness is your birthright." Through The Aquarian Teacher Program, Yogi Bhajan has trained thousands of KRI Certified Kundalini Yoga Teachers. In 1994, the International
Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association, (IKYTA), was formed to further spread these priceless teachings through the united efforts of Kundalini Yoga teachers worldwide.

The KRI Teacher Training Team reserves the right to grant KRI Certification based solely on their discretion
and evaluation of each participant's readiness to be a Kundalini Yoga Teacher. Successful graduates will
receive a one-year Membership with the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association (IKYTA), and
will have met the requirements for Yoga Alliance membership.
