Kundalini Yoga Therapy Training with Shanti Shanti Kaur
28 February - 3 March & 6 - 10 March
Foundations of Kundalini Yoga Therapy – Principles & Practices
Teaching Kundalini Yoga to people with health conditions
28 February - 3 March 2019, 9am-5:30pm
Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Teacher training prepares us to teach to people who are healthy. A separate set of skills is required to teach to people with health conditions. This training gives Kundalini Yoga teachers the foundation we need to begin to develop those skills and to deepen and expand the application of yogic philosophy, technique and habits of conscious living toward health recovery.
We will learn how to identify and meet the student at their starting point, mobilize inner resources, understand and work with the process of change. We will explore the unique structure of a therapeutic Kundalini Yoga class and the layering model of teaching Kundalini Yoga to people with health conditions. Yogi Bhajan’s 15 principles of teaching Kundalini Yoga as a therapeutic intervention are detailed and the psychology of health recovery and the role of family and friends are addressed.
Experience the differences between a yoga teacher, yogic healer, and a yoga therapist and the specific language of each.
Special attention is given to the personal development to engender awareness, strength and subtlety of the sensory system, intuition, compassion, deep listening, sensitivity, humility, endurance, radiance and grace.
A six week Kundalini Yoga curriculum for a mixed conditions group class is included.
Foundations of Kundalini Yoga Therapy: Principles and Practices is the 1st of 14 in-person segments of the 1,000 hour International Kundalini Yoga Therapy Professional Training and is open to Kundalini Yoga Therapists in training and Kundalini Yoga teachers. Those Kundalini Yoga teachers who are in the integrative healing arts find this training especially useful.
Curriculums for Kundalini Yoga teachers for each condition are included. Continuing Education units for yoga teachers through IKYTA provided. Attendance for full duration is required to obtain certificate of completion.

About the International Kundalini Yoga Therapy Professional Training
Chances are you already have students coming to your yoga classes who have a chronic illness or life threatening condition. You may have wondered how best to serve them through Kundalini Yoga and meditation. Level 1 Teacher Training prepares you to teach to healthy people, but you need a different set of skills and a different way of thinking in order to teach Kundalini Yoga therapeutically. The International Kundalini Yoga Therapy Professional Training consists of 1,000 hours of course work, personal development and clinical supervision that guide your transition from being a Kundalini Yoga teacher to being a Kundalini Yoga Therapist. Nearly 30 years ago, Yogi Bhajan shaped the training as a graduate school for Kundalini Yoga teachers to develop the skills and approach necessary to safely and effectively teach Kundalini Yoga to people with health conditions. It is this approach we train you in when you study with us. Our Professional Training is fully accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists. The 1,000 hours include 14 in-person segments, 7 online segments, personal development and clinical supervision for when you start seeing clients. The first 4 in-person segments focus on shifting from being a Kundalini Yoga teacher to becoming a Kundalini Yoga Therapist. They take you deep into the consciousness and principles of Kundalini Yoga as Therapy. The subsequent in-person segments take you deep into the clinical practice of Kundalini Yoga as therapy, and are focused on assessment and application. Any Level 1 Kundalini Yoga teacher can take the first 4 in-person segments without enrolling in, or committing to, the full training. Course locations include Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia and the east and west coasts of the United States. For more information: grdcenter.org.
