A Conference Call with Shakta Kaur
Saturday, March 6
8 am Central Time / 9 am Eastern Time / 10 am Atlantic Time
Plus, receive answers about KYL Teacher Training Courses!
|
|
You have, at your core, a shining soul with a consciousness that is luminous and which carries the experience of the Creator. Yet your soul is shrouded in personal karmas, the results of unconscious choices and attachments that come from ego and fear.
However, because you also have a
'will' you can make new choices to dissolve fate and transform yourself. Utilizing the sacred science of Kundalini yoga and meditation you can re-write your destiny and live to your fullest potential. This happens when the soul is un-shrouded and clear. At that moment transformation takes place and the magic begins.
On this call Shakta will share a beautiful meditation guaranteed to bring tremendous change to your destiny. You will also be able to ask questions, receive information and get answers about the details of KYL’s Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada Level 1 Teacher Training course.
Learn how Teacher Training in PEI ...
...provides a direct, internal experience of yoga and meditation,
...orients your mind toward its proper role as your ‘servant,’
...stops the repetition of past errors and patterns,
...invokes your intuition, and ...makes your life easier.

“If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.” -- Yogi Bhajan
We are all teachers We teach each other when we can see ourself clearly and when we can help another see him/herself clearly. To teach is to transform and to be transformed. To be the best teacher we need to be the best student. And, the best student comes from a genuine immersion into a practice where we learn to be who we are and serve all from the heart.
Training Team
If this sounds like something you would like to experience, why not join us for two separate sessions—the first this spring and the second next fall—for the 220-hour Level 1 Teacher Training course in Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan that is called ‘The Aquarian Teacher?’ When you do, you will receive guidance from an international team of teacher trainers including KRI’s Director of Training for Kundalini Yogis worldwide, Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D.
Ashram Setting
This is an unusual Level 1 course format, especially designed to create community in an ashram-like setting where your senses, mind and body will be nourished (and challenged!) by the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. It is also golden opportunity to learn reverence and respect for yourself while being immersed in a discipline which can liberate you from the cycle of birth and death.
New Venue
Our recent switch to a new venue for this course means a significant reduction in room costs
- Lodging & Meals fee has been reduced 25%
to 55%. Plus, the tuition fee is 23% lower
than the Chicago course fee. Fee increases on March 1. Click Here

“The beauty of White Tantric Yoga is that it is subtle, it is exalting and it works to give you the mastery of life.” -- Yogi Bhajan
The yogis say that our minds release 1,000 thoughts in the blink of an eye. Some of these thoughts get lost in the unconscious and some get stuck in the subconscious affecting the conscious mind. These thoughts become feelings, emotions, desires and/or fantasies. Instead of mastering our mind, our mind and thoughts end up directing us!
White Tantric Yoga® (WTY) enables you to break through these subconscious blocks so that you can have a more enjoyable life. In the shortest time (one full day) you can experience release from a lot of the burden you carry in your mind.
WTY is done in pairs as a group meditation. Everyone sits facing a partner and follows instructions for
the meditation given via DVD by the Mahan Tantric and Master of Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan.
[No need to bring a partner.] A representative of the Mahan Tantric will be present to facilitate WTY Chicago.
Our day will consist of between six and eight meditations incorporating:
· a yoga posture (Asana)
· an eye focus (Dristi) · a hand position (Mudra)
· a breathing technique (Pranayam)
· and/or chanting (Mantra)
Sometimes the meditations are accompanied by music. The meditations vary in length, up to 62-minutes. There are ample breaks between each meditation. The environment is peaceful with a friendly, uplifting and supportive atmosphere.
Come spend the day with us and fortify your spirit!
Included in the course fee is a wonderful vegetarian lunch, featuring
recipes from Hari Dev Singh's kitchen.

In this unique six-day course called ‘Authentic Relationships’
you will learn how to consistently connect with the true identity of yourself and others.
You will gain the skills to prevent judgments, fears or circumstances
from obstructing your view of the true identity of everyone in your life
- as ‘Sat Nam.’ Penetrating through illusions and always relating to the true Essence—the Oneness of all—in your relationships is the ultimate goal.
Come explore how to:
- Create and maintain Soul-based relationships;
- Honor the polarities of the male and female energies;
- Recognize and create Authentic Relationships in each area of your life; and
- Cultivate personal practices that develop your capacity for Authentic Relationships.
Each day you will study with the Master--Yogi Bhajan--in a video class and meditation. In addition, you will work individually and in groups, exploring the key concepts and ideas in Authentic Relationships. You will experience kriyas* and meditations as well as other processes to recognize how your personal life is affected both by Authentic Relationships and by relationships with a false core.
This is a 60+ hour course; one of five Level 2 modules. Fifty hours are spent in the classroom with 12 hours of home-study to be completed 90 days after the course concludes.
Your Faculty:
Lead Trainer KRI Director of Training Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D. We are graced with the return of Gurucharan Singh to Chicago for ‘Authentic Relationships.’ Gurucharan is an expert in Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®, and has been the interpreter and compiler of his teachings since 1969. He serves as the International Director of Teacher Training for the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI), which he co-founded in 1972. |
Level 2 Trainer GuruMeher Singh Khalsa serves as the Director of Training at Yogi Bhajan’s original yoga studio,
Yoga West, in Los Angeles. GuruMeher has over 25 years experience teaching Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. He is a respected life coach who helps others via yoga, meditation and personal mentoring to accelerate growth, remove obstacles and increase their happiness. |
*In Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® a kriya is a sequence of postures, breath and sound that are integrated together to manifest a particular state. When you practice a Kundalini Yoga kriya the result of its repetition is access to a particular, predictable and stable state—one facet of your awareness.

New Moon
The New Moon is when you are at your lowest...energy-wise. It is
a good day to fast on lemon and water. Fast from sun-up until the
next morning at breakfast, when you "break" the "fast."
Waxing Moon
... is the time between the New Moon and the day before the Full
Moon. During this time the energy of the body moves into your higher
centers (chakras). This is the time to bring new things, new people
or new relationships into your life or to accelerate the progress
of your special projects.
11 Days After
New Moon
Yogi Bhajan taught that this is the day when you are in balance.
The glandular system readjusts itself on this day. Your metabolism
is changing, so if you eat very lightly (green foods) or if you
live just on water and lemon today, your health will be perfect.
Eat very lightly during the day. Eat only one meal and drink lemon
and water the rest of the day.
Full Moon
You are naturally accelerated on a full moon. You are at your highest
energy level. The secretions in your body will be at their maximum,
so you don't want your energy being used to consume food. Save your
energy to reconstruct yourself. Try to drink only liquids on this
day. If you feel you must eat, drink only milk. (But, don't drink
cold milk right out of the refrigerator. Milk should be brought
to a boil. Allow the milk to foam up and then bring the heat down
so the milk is on a slow boil for 5-10 minutes. While cooking it,
you may add a pinch of ground turmeric, a pinch of black pepper,
a cinnamon stick, or a few pinches of ginger to reduce any mucous
causing side effect.)
