Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training
TRANSFORMATION
In conjunction with your Level One KRI Certification the 300-hour/2-year certification program consists of five 62-hour modules and fulfills the Yoga Alliance 500-hour requirement.
In KRI’s 200-hr Level One Teacher Training, you learn the basics. You learn the fundamentals about Kundalini Yoga, and hopefully develop lifelong, positive habits of personal practice. In Level Two you acknowledge on a heart level that you are ready to integrate the teachings even more into your life.
Reaching this next level means assessing where you are in your commitment to authenticity, and offering yourself up to transformation.
Throughout your 2-year commitment (this is the minimum time in which you can complete all 5 Level Two modules), you will participate in programs focused on five interconnected themes. Before, after, and during each module, you will connect with your global course community to refine your ability to reflect, to be aware, and to be consciously conscious of what you are learning.
Level Two Modules
What do we mean by communication? The definition of communication is a practice that creates a “common notion” with another person or object of attention…At what level do we communicate? Did you ever learn that your existence is your communication? Your projection is your relationship? You are the power? But life is often sour. There is no happiness, because your communication has no purpose of Self. You communicate to impress someone. You don’t communicate to relate you to someone. That’s why you suffer now. You don’t communicate consciously. —Yogi Bhajan
Key Topics
- Recognize and contrast conscious communication with other types of communication
- The role of silence and shuniya in communication
- The art of deep listening—sunni-ai
- Mastering the Fifth Chakra
- Recognizing your shadow and overcoming your blocks through applied consciousness
- Communicating with the Infinite and the nature of prayer
Use your communication skills to create a common notion with others—even those you disagree with. Communicate your whole Self, with awareness, kindness and fearlessness. Listen—don’t just hear. Elevate your communication to the power of creative dialogue so that life becomes a flow, in harmony with the Infinite.
Course Affirmation:
I have integrated conscious communication into all areas of my life. My communication uplifts others to their own consciousness.
I represent my whole self directly. I speak each word consciously, understanding that it is witnessed by my own consciousness and supported by the Cosmos. I create harmonious communication even with those who oppose me. I am heard in the hearts of others as I hear and qualify my own words as I speak.
Integrate authentic relationships into your life and your teaching. Explore and understand how we form, sustain and honor relationships. Our success as Kundalini Yoga teachers and as conscious human beings depends on our capacity to be authentic and respond from our hearts; our primary objective is to examine our relationships and improve our effectiveness, authenticity and awareness within them.
Key Topics
- Explore what an authentic relationship is and what it’s not
- Relate to your soul as the foundation for authentic relationships
- Understand the special challenges that long-term relationships and marriage face in the Aquarian Age
- Identify the common ways we make relationships fail
- Develop self-love as a key to authentic relationships
- Identify our core paradox and transform it from problem to opportunity
- Create a conscious relationship with your own masculine and feminine energies
- Develop Sacred Community
Use awareness, contemplation and meditation to revision your relationship to self and other. Forgive the past and heal the present. Release yourself from the wounds of love and begin to live authentically. Recognize the patterns that keep you from expressing your true Self and create a new template: give and receive love from abundance, consciousness and ease.
Course Affirmation
I have integrated authentic relationships into all areas of my life. My relationships are held in a manner that uplifts everyone and does not let anyone down. I have befriended my own soul. I recognize myself and I am in a creative, dynamic relationship with my Infinite Self, which is God. My ability to love myself is the foundation for authentic love with others. I understand the dynamic of polarities in relationships and I respond to them creatively and authentically. I act from my true self to project love and wisdom and conquer any fears and defenses that may taint my relationships. I cultivate my intuition, scope and caliber and apply them to every relationship. I have forgiven all hurts and injuries and act with integrity to friend and foe. I understand that my soul chose my family and I creatively interact, heal, forgive and relate to my lineage as human beings who like me want to be healthy, happy and holy. I act from consciousness, beyond polarity, to honor the masculine and feminine within me and around me. As a teacher I form all my relationships in the grace, honor and integrity of the Golden Chain to fulfill my destiny.
Deepen your practice of meditation, clarify the relationship between you and your mind, and explore the basic nature and dynamics of the mind. Our relationship to our own mind is pivotal in effectively realizing our true nature and fulfilling our potential. Yogi Bhajan often reminded us that we come to Earth to experience our humanity and recognize the One Infinite being that creates all and which is in all. The greatest power is the ability to act with a Neutral Mind, to use intuition along with applied intelligence and to lean on the Infinite through the sacred science known as prayer.
Key Topics
- Enhance the depth of your understanding of meditation and experience deep meditations on the nine aspects of the mind.
- Focus on your relationship to your own mind.
- Increase your ability to observe neutrally, to become still, to clear your mind of distractions and intrigues, to recognize when you establish a state of shuniya, and to recognize the different functional parts of your mind.
- Experience and practice the use of intuition as a primary skill of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation.
- Learn the structure of the mind and examine the impersonal minds, the qualities of the mind, and the nine aspects of the mind.
- Understand how to use the 27 projections of the mind.
Be able to use the functional minds with fluency, understand the influence of the impersonal minds, cultivate shuniya and apply intuition and intelligence with ease and flexibility. Understand Nanak’s pauri, Man Jeetai Jag Jeet. Conquer your mind and conquer the world. Come into a relationship with your mind and the Self which transcends time and space and relates to the oneness of your identity with Infinity. Become one with the One.
Course Affirmation
I commit to refine my meditative capacity. I invite my mind into my conscious presence, investigate its nature, and learn to master it so that it serves my consciousness and my soul. I will follow the road map laid out by Yogi Bhajan to recognize and develop the many parts of my mind. I integrate and apply the functional minds to my daily habits and behaviors so that I develop a clear, intuitive, and effective mind. To conquer my mind is to cultivate a relationship to its actions and an awareness of its functional parts. I form a relationship to my own awareness, self, mind and Infinite being. My life blossoms with unlimited blessings.
