To Be a Kundalini Yoga Teacher is to Elevate All...Are you Hearing the Call?

Teacher Training begins on Sep 30

“It doesn’t matter how much I teach you, how much you learn. The role of a teacher is to elevate another person.” Yogi Bhajan
The experience of a Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is truly a special one. If you have taken a Kundalini Yoga class, you may agree that this lineage of teachings is powerful. The relationship with your own mind, heart, and soul is strengthened as Self-Mastery becomes real. The community of fellow students in each training creates lifelong bonds.

Back in the “old days,” there were no teacher training programs, Yogi Bhajan would simply say to someone that they were ready to teach, or that they should go start a center in a certain city. As the times changed, so did the methods. The Aquarian Age is one which requires the transformative nature of these teachings. Teacher trainings were not only created, but were painstakingly written in great detail with strong guidelines that honor the way the teachings are to be passed on and not changed.
Participating in a Kundalini Yoga teacher training is certainly a commitment of time, money, and energy, but it is one in which the benefits continue to grow long after the course itself is finished. Many people may feel that this type of course is only for those wishing to go on and teach Kundalini Yoga classes, but that is not always true. There are no requirements or prerequisites. There are many individuals that feel the desire to simply dive deeper into the knowledge and practice of Kundalini Yoga. As Yogi Bhajan said:  “If you want to learn about something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.”

Often times, it may feel like “hearing a call,” when we feel we are meant to take a Kundalini Yoga teacher training. Our inner voice is saying ”Yes, Yes!” Perhaps our soul is asking “Won’t you please follow this?” I have a friend who describes sitting in a yoga class and at the end the teacher shared the information to everyone about an upcoming teacher training. For her, it felt as if the whole time, every word was delivered just to her, spoken for her ears and heart.

Along my journey, there had been many bright lights illuminating the path of Kundalini Yoga for me. Each glimpse felt like wise hands of the Divine welcoming me Home. I knew that I wanted to do a Level 1 Teacher Training to really master my own practice and also expand my teaching to adults (I had taken the Radiant Child training with Shakta Kaur, and had been teaching Khalsa Way Prenatal for some years). I was looking at different programs in the Southwest US where I was living at the time. At a cafe while visiting my dad, I ran into an old childhood friend and classmate from preschool at Khalsa Montessori School. She mentioned that her father had a Teacher Training coming up.

When I called Sevak Singh Khalsa to ask about some details, his voice felt instantly calming to me. I sensed an openness, a wisdom, and no pressure at all to sign up. Deciding to do something that was purely for me, and led my own guidance was one of the BEST things I have done in my life. Later, the real treasure was revealed to me: a teacher lives serving others. The magic lies in elevating others as they experience themselves.

“Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, is a comprehensive science of life. You become a better teacher by becoming a better human being. As a certified Level 1 Instructor, you can extend the path of awakening.”
