“Kundalini Yoga for the Cuban People”

The intention is for me and my wife Gurudevta to travel to Cuba and make an intensive 3 week program of classes, workshops and a Level 2 Training. The idea is to serve the community through the teachings of KY all through the 3 weeks. We know many of them through the online trainings, and I am in touch with Narayan Nam Kaur, the KY teacher that has helped me organize all the activities and trainings there. Since the Cuban Sangat has been much engaged the last 2 years with the trainings and the online workshops me and my wife have taught, having received a great feedback from them,  it is likely that they will show and invite other people for the activities.

“Decolonized Yoga and Meditation”

Decolonized Yoga and Meditation seeks to return Yoga as a Medicine for the People by sharing the teachings of Kundalini Yoga in Prisoner of War Camps that still exist here on American soil; Indian Reservations, specifically POW #344 and surrounding communities. The teachings are shared in a way that is approachable, easily, absorbed and culturally appropriate for the territory in which the classes are being offered with the goal of teaching basic self-regulation skills to address the ongoing issues with intergenerational trauma and sexualized violence in a way that encourages that breaking of those cycles.
