Kundalini Yoga
for Self-Care and Caregivers

“Back in 2021, when I was still living in the Netherlands, I became aware of Ivonne and Monique’s training program for Self-Care and Caregivers.  In my wanting to learn more about their program, they graciously sent me their training manual (which was in Dutch of course).  Well, one thing led to another, and in my desire to see their work accessible to even more people around the world, KRI decided to partner with them to come out with an English language version of their manual, edited to be a stand-alone book.

I hope that you will appreciate their approach to bringing Kundalini Yoga kriyas to new populations, that you find tips that you can apply in your own personal practice, and if you are a Kundalini Yoga teacher, maybe that you find inspiration to start a gentle class for this population!”

“I enjoyed the new KRI publication,  Kundalini Yoga for Self-Care and Caregivers. The Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan© kriyas are very effective and the chapter introductory narratives are well written, informative and inspiring. It is one of those books that, after you read the introductory basics chapter, you can start and practice in any chapter based on your need or inspiration for that day. I think this book will give caregivers the necessary tools, practices and the support they need to maintain their vitality and elevate their service.”

“I was positively surprised by the deep effect of yoga on a chair. So if you are not able to practice regular yoga, yoga on a chair is a really a strong alternative. I’ve practiced the Kriya for Adrenals and Kidneys often, and every time again I really feel the energy streaming in both kidneys and adrenals; the area warms up, which results in feeling relaxed and refreshed.“

— Corry Bezuijen.

“The book clearly and step by step describes how to perform the exercises on a mat and in a chair, with images for each pose. The additional information on the same page is really nice, so you can make adaptations suiting your abilities. It’s especially nice that you can pick a special theme or just one single part to do. It’s a handy activity book.”

— Gonny Hoffs-Kamphuis.

“During COVID19, I regularly practiced one of the book’s lessons alongside my weekly online yoga class. I created a small yoga space in my guest room, where I will not be disturbed. Ever since the physical lessons have restarted, I use the book less, but I still find exercises to do. Yoga brought me a lot in my daily life on both a conscious and unconscious level. I’ve learned to disconnect from daily concerns while practicing yoga in a class setting, and I can even do it at home; it makes me feel more relaxed. Especially in the last few days, when asthma has been bothering me a lot, I have felt supported by breathing exercises. My GP told me that I have an excellent breathing technique, which is great to hear. I think I unconsciously apply breathing techniques throughout the day, due to exercising and emphasizing the importance of good breathing. I am grateful.”

“For many years, I started my day with the same exercise from the book. My body defrosts, so to speak. In times of severe stress or anxiety, I revert to a special part in the book, which then immediately supports me. Yoga taught me how to get to know myself better.“

— Maria Tiehatten-Beumers.

“Even for me, the one who is dependent on a caregiver, the Program Yoga for Self-care and Caregivers was very educational. I’ve learned a lot. I use the book every week.”
