Yogi Bhajan brought Kundalini Yoga to the West from India in 1968. Until then it was kept secret. Kundalini Yoga is a powerful yoga system that includes physical and meditation exercises, as well as healing techniques, yogic massage, Ayurveda nutrition, yogic lifestyle, Numerology, large group meditation courses of White Tantric Yoga, the martial arts technique Gatka, and special pregnancy yoga and yoga for childbirth.

Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your soul. It is ideal for people in the prime of their lives, because it helps to meet the daily demands and challenges actively while staying calm and balanced.

The aim of this comprehensive self-training is the harmonisation of body, mind and spirit achieved through posture and movement; concentration, focus and meditation; conscious breathing and sound (mantra). Mantra chanting plays a vital role in Kundalini Yoga, as it opens you to your Spiritual Awakening. You come to understand your existence in relationship to the universe and the practical experience of Infinity.

Its effectiveness as a method for maintaining health and promoting healing has been scientifically proven in many studies. You gain a strong immune system, vital glands, a strong nervous system, good circulation, and an awareness of the impact of your habits.

Compared to other types of yoga, Kundalini Yoga is characterised by more simple basic postures. Many exercises are easy to perform, yet highly effective. Kundalini Yoga is therefore suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions. Its beneficial effect is quickly noticeable.

As you practice Kundalini Yoga you will grow. Like a snake you will need to shed old skins to be more of who you are. You will need to examine certain attitudes, behaviours, and emotional habits. You will gain new perspectives, capacities, and habits that can support your expanded awareness.

Kundalini Yoga is like an express train that shakes and wakes you up. Be very welcome and encouraged to have an experience of Kundalini Yoga for yourself!

Yogi Bhajan taught Kundalini Yoga openly in order to prepare humanity for the major changes that this planet is going through as we cross from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age. The ancient technology of Kundalini Yoga gives us the awareness and the fortitude to make this a smooth transition. Yogi Bhajan taught over 8,000 classes and inspired thousands of people to keep up and live in their excellence.

Born Harbhajan Singh Puri, August 26, 1929, in the part of India that became Pakistan in 1948, he changed his name legally to Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji when he became a US Citizen in 1976. Yogi Bhajan began his yogic training when he was just eight years old. By sixteen and a half, he was Master of Kundalini Yoga.

Traveling extensively in the seventies and eighties, Yogi Bhajan crusaded tirelessly to educate, uplift, and enlighten everyone he met. Inspired by his words, students created music, art and poetry to reflect the universal wisdom he shared. Over 200 books are based on Yogi Bhajan’s teachings – he himself authored over 30 publications.

Kundalini Yoga teachers are certified through worldwide Teacher Trainings in three different levels by IKYTA (International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association).
