Simrat Kaur of Yoga West Eugene will be leading 31 minutes of Re Man meditation at 7:00am [yes, that's AM] for eleven days: Mon, Feb 8 - Thu, Feb 18. Come to one or all. Each day will begin with 3 slow recitations in call and response style and the remaining time will be devoted to a more rapid recitation.

This Shabad is recited to heal others and to brighten one’s own aura (the first line of defense against illness and attack).

This info and zoom link can also be found in our Calendar.

Ravijot Kaur is hosting a Full Moon Meditation on Thursday, Jan 28. Please join in if you feel called - all are welcome. We'll begin at 6:30pm with meditation and have some social time afterwards.

Sat Nam, I'm Ravijot, I'm a KRI Certified Instructor and have been practicing and teaching Kundalini Yoga and Meditation for many years. I moved here last August from Pasadena, CA with my husband Jeff. I'm looking forward to leading this month's Full Moon meditation.
The Shabd Guru  is central to my spiritual path. I like to include elements of my practice and what has inspired me when I teach.  On January 28 we'll practice a short kriya/meditation for the "Elementary Adjustment of the Brain" and then a core alignment meditation, that uses jappa (mantra recitation), for "Keeping You Steady & on the Path."
Wahe Guru!

This 8 week course is lead by Nirmal Conforti of Bend, OR. Each session will include some Kundalini meditation. Learn more about her work and contact her at her website.

Like you, we here at KYPDX have been shocked and saddened by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Arbery, and so many others tragically killed by police officers.  These crimes are just the tip of the iceberg of institutional racism that pervades our world.  We unequivocally state  that Black Lives Matter. As yogis, we believe that we should live what we practice: the Unity of all souls, the equality of all souls. Yet, the current state of the world does not match this philosophy, and we must actively take steps to end systemic racial oppression. 

How can our organization, KYPDX, a 5O1.c3 non-profit, become more socially just?  How can we support this critical movement that is happening in Portland? In the United States? In the world?  We want to hear more voices, diverse voices, and work in action together. This could include: creating space for more diversity on our Board of Directors, marching together, making phone calls, or fundraising for the many incredible black led organizations on the front lines of this movement. Our collective effort will no doubt include our prayers. Prayers are powerful catalysts for change - now is the time to rise up into action fueled by prayer.

Please join us in an in-person event @ Kenilworth Park. Lead by Isabel Falcon... come together in ceremony with Medicine Wheel Circle, Gong Sound Medicine, Mantras, Kundalini Meditation, Breathwork, and Music.

Thank you for your time and energy to promote peace in our community and beyond.

Sat Nam,
We hope you are well.... kundaini yoga can help!

Here are few updates from the Community Check-In on June 24:

Hardev Kaur had drafted KYPDX's Statement of Solidarity with Black Lives Matter. Expect to see it soon.

We are planning an event to show our support of the Black Lives Matter movement. It will most likely be a prayer circle and meditation in a park.... As Gurucharan stated, " We are experts at prayer and meditation." Stay tuned for details. If you would like to help plan the event, please contact Hardev.

Leslie Hawes is living on 40 acres in Seio {halfway-ish between Salem and Brietenbush} - she'd love to have us there for a socially distanced event {campout?!}. When should we go?

Guru Surya Kaur, Ram Kaur and Ravi Harpreet Kaur were also in attendance.

Hope to see you at our next check-in if not sooner at our solidarity event.

Stay safe & sound!

Sat Nam,
We hope you are staying positive.... kundaini yoga can help!
