First Weekend of Teacher Training
|
'Open to All'
First Weekend of Teacher Training
Friday through Sunday Oct. 29-30-31 |
Again this year we offer the opportunity for you to take the first weekend of our Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training course without having to make the commitment to attend the whole course—yet! So, if you are considering Teacher Training but aren’t 100% sure yet—come to the first weekend to participate, learn and assess your ability to complete the entire course.
Spend the weekend with us just as you would at a ‘yoga conference.’ This is a rare opportunity to immerse your Self in the teachings of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® for an entire weekend. Don’t miss this chance to learn a complete spectrum of techniques for personal change and transformation, self-healing, internal balance and spiritual growth.

A Halloween Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Class
|
"Throw Out the Ghosts"
with Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga (via DVD), and Shakta Sunday, October 31 2:00 to 4:00 pm
$20 advance / $25 door
|
Join us for a special Halloween class of Kundalini Yoga, Meditation and the Gong! This class features a Yogi Bhajan lecture and meditation (via DVD) specifically designed to 'throw out the ghosts!' "No person from any category or caliber, from any religion, from any country, is supposed to be suffering," Yogi Bhajan says in this lecture.
Relieve yourself from any unnecessary suffering by practicing a special 'de-ghosting' meditation to clear away missteps, traumas and any fears or bad feelings that still remain from your adolescence. Once you clear your subconscious by throwing out the 'ghosts' with the Master you will leave feeling beautiful, bountiful and blissful... guaranteed!

Healing Power of Triple Gong and Mantra
|
Friday, November 26 (the day after
Thanksgiving) 6:30 pm to 7:45
pm
with Shakta, Hari Dev,
and Sanjam
($15 in advance / $17 at door)
|
|
Join us for our popular monthly sessions of gong and mantra.
As always, we begin every ‘Healing Power of Gong & Mantra’ session with light Kundalini Yoga to prepare the body for what’s to come (the yoga is appropriate for all levels). Then we move into deep relaxation with not one, but
three beautiful Paiste symphonic gongs. Your mind will have no defense to the gong after 90 seconds!
After the gong we use sound (mantra) to remind us that the entire universe was built on sound, on vibration. And, as we vibrate a particular combination of sounds, we are able to tune into a different level of intelligence, or, consciousness.
Join us for the deep vibrational healing of gong and mantra...

with KRI’s Director of Training Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D.
Tuition includes 3 meals daily! $250 deposit holds your place!

‘Communication is a gift to know. Communication is a gift to understand Communication is a gift to realize. If you do not use communication for these three things, it is better that you shut up and don’t talk.’ -- Yogi Bhajan
Join us for this unique six-day course (one of five Level 2 modules) to learn how to speak — meditatively and intuitively — not just to talk! The discipline of conscious communication qualifies you to speak each word one-pointedly, faithfully, courageously, directly and simply.
In this course you will learn to:
- Gather your energy and awareness to support what you intend to communicate.
- Practice harmonious communication in areas of conflict or confrontation.
- Consciously communicate at the subtle frequencies of your chakras.
- Realize prayer as the intimate presence of the Infinite within you.
Gurucharan will be teaching every day of this course.
Special course fees apply for a limited time. For KYL
Alumni the tuition is $999 - make 10 payments @ $99.90.
For IKYTA members the tuition is $1,099 - make 10 payments @

October Teacher Training – Top 5 Reasons!
|
Chicago - KY Teacher Training at KYL
The Aquarian Teacher
October 2010 to May 2011 |
|
Top Five Reasons to take Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training:
5) receive a direct, internal experience of yoga and meditation,
4) orient your mind toward its proper role as your ‘servant,’
3) stop the repetition of past errors and patterns,
2) invoke your intuition and
1) make your life easier!
Why wait for something ‘out there’ to happen that will make your life easier? Wouldn’t it be a wonderful discovery to learn that you already have ‘within’ what you need for a life of ease, joy and abundance? The Aquarian Teacher Training program is the KRI Level One Certification program in Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®. In this course you learn the fundamental principles and practices of Kundalini Yoga. You learn to develop the skills to master your own life. And, once you have completed all of the coursework, you will be certified to instruct others in Kundalini kriyas and meditations if you choose to do so.
AQUARIAN
Why is this course called the ‘Aquarian’ Teacher Training
program? Because, in the words of Yogi Bhajan, ‘The Age of
Aquarius is upon us where we feel it, know it, understand it, or
not. The past is going to be obsolete and teachers of the Age of
Aquarius are going to help humanity. How to grow, to glow. How
to serve, to be.“ But, before you can serve others you must...
FULFILL YOURSELF
The first student you have is yourself. Kundalini Yoga is the science of how to fulfill yourself in the experience of being human. Becoming conscious of your own consciousness is the first step. The second step is to serve others. Seeing the growth of a spiritual community around you and the miracle of lives transformed by this sacred science is most inspiring!
SACRED SCIENCE
Kundalini Yoga is the technology of human consciousness. It is a sacred science that works on the chakras, the arcline and the aura. It works directly on energy. Either you are above the energy and ride it or you go below the energy and it rides you. This is where ‘self-leadership’ comes in. You learn to ride your own energy, to experience it, to remain neutral and act--rather than react-- in a given situation. It is a sacred science because through its study your own sacredness is awakened.
So, join us beginning on the last weekend in October for ten weekends over eight months. You’ll make your life easier while learning to be in harmony with yourself and others. Your self-mastery awaits! Click

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.)
Waning Moon
... is the time between the Full Moon and the day before the New
Moon. This is the best time to remove things, relationships or situations
from your life that no longer serve you. It is not generally thought
of as the best time to start a new project.
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."

A Thought From Yogi Bhajan
"
Meditation is a duty towards the self. The moment you become aware of the self you become beautiful to the self because the moment you concentrate on [the] self, your frequency changes and the universe around you changes also. This is a cosmic law.
