FAQ’s
If all of the student’s certification requirements are complete and approved the student can expect to receive their certificate between 1-2 months after submission.
Without denying the power, uniqueness, and potency of White Tantric Yoga, the requirement to participate in a day of White Tantric Yoga in order to qualify as a Level 1 certified Instructor can be substituted by participating in a day of intensive, group, Kundalini Yoga meditation.
KRI still strongly recommends that all students participate in a day of White Tantric Yoga, if possible. The day of intensive group meditation will be fulfilled by a group Kundalini Meditation course or workshop that meets the following criteria:
- Contains at least 6 hours of meditation practice within a 24 hour period (study, lecture, discussions, etc. do not count towards the ‘meditation’ time).
- Are within the tradition and teachings of Kundalini Yoga as Taught by Yogi Bhajan, and
- Is led by a KRI licensed teacher trainer (with exceptions being permitted with the lead trainer’s approval). The lead trainer must sign-off on the particular manner in which the student wants to fulfill this requirement. The student can always appeal to KRI if they disagree with their lead trainer’s decision. Examples of the kinds of courses that would fulfill this requirement include, but are not limited to:
- White Tantric Yoga
- A day of 21 Stages of Meditation
- Five Rebirthing kriyas (for this particular choice, please do NOT take all in one day, but spread out over at least 5 days)
- A Japa course such as Re Man or Kundalini Surjhee
- Sat Nam Rasayan intensive course with qualified
- Other Kundalini Yoga meditation experiences that have at least 6 hours of meditation in one day.
Please save your receipt or any other proof of participation in the program and submit with your full certification packet.
If there are no in-person classes in your area you can complete this requirement by doing online classes; 10 of which need to be live online classes and up to 10 pre-recorded, although we strongly suggest you take as many live classes, either in person or online.
