Beginner-Friendly · 13 Days Residential
Kundalini is known as the power centre in a human body and is represented in the form of Chakras (Spirals). Kundalini tantra is considered the base of many physical and emotional transformations. Kundalini Yoga is one of the most ancient practices for harnessing the unlimited power source of the body and channelling it in a constructive direction. Our program draws from classical sources - the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad, Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Tantra tradition - not from the modern Yogi Bhajan / KRI school.
Our 100 Hour Kundalini Tantra and Meditation Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh is a 13-day introductory course combining Kundalini Yoga with Tantra Sadhana and a structured kundalini meditation course — offering a foundation in Kundalini, its position inside the body, the seven chakras (Mooladhara through Sahasrara), kriya, mudra, mantra and meditation rituals. This kundalini and tantra ttc is open to sincere beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Ready to go deeper? Continue with our 300-hour advanced kundalini training or combine for the 500-hour RYT 500 kundalini certification. Prefer a non-teaching format? Join our kundalini yoga retreat in Rishikesh, or study from home with our online kundalini yoga teacher training.
Overview Of 100 Hour Kundalini
When you enrol for our introductory Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training, our experienced masters guide you with the basic knowledge of Kundalini and its powers. Our gurus teach you how to use Tantra and Meditation to awaken the unlimited power of Kundalini through consistent and correct practice.
We guide students in proper understanding of Kundalini along with the Tantra associated with each Chakra. Demonstration classes let you practise the recital of Mantras to awaken Kundalini, while our expert teachers offer you glimpses of the power of Kundalini Awakening and thorough knowledge on different chakras and their functionalities.
Upon successful completion you receive a certificate of excellence that helps you pursue advanced versions of this course (200H / 300H Kundalini) and practise these techniques to perfection.
Kundalini is that energy which knows your past and future — she knows all your problems in life. Whenever you start giving your attention to awaken her, you experience clarity in life and a solution to all problems. — Yogi Vishnu
Course Hour Breakdown
The 100 hour curriculum is organised around the pillars of Kundalini, Tantra and meditation — kriya, pranayama, mantra, the philosophy of energy, and the meditative practices that bind them. Together they form a complete, if compact, introduction and the base for our 300 hour program.
Each practice is repeated daily through the residential immersion, so rather than touching a technique once you build it into a steady sadhana. This daily repetition — the traditional gurukul method — is what makes 100 hours of genuine immersion noticeably different from the same material learned piecemeal.
Include Not Include - Samadhi Yoga Ashram
Schedule - 100 Hour Yoga TTC
The daily routine of a 100 Hour Yoga Teacher has been made in such a way that there is an inclusion of physical practice, theory, and self-observation. There is a practice of silence meditation along with pranayama which is later followed by energizing asana practice to get the body up and about. Theory classes about the philosophy of yoga, ways of teaching, anatomy of yoga, and others will take place and practical lessons of helping into asana dissection and reconstruction will extend throughout the day. One more yoga with the aim of relaxation, a talk and meditation will be included in the evenings with an aim of facilitating community and development.

The Samadhi Difference
In Rishikesh — the original land of yogis, sages and Himalayan masters
Daily Ganga aarti, holy river steps from your room at Laxman Jhula
Surrounded by Himalayan peaks — a naturally meditative environment

Lakshman Jhula bridge, Vashishth Cave, Neelkanth Mahadev temple — all within reach of the ashram on foot or by short drive
Teachers with 20+ years in Himalayan tradition — daily sadhana from 4am, not weekend yoga certifications.
Mauna, satsang, fire yagna, Ganga aarti — live yoga as a lifestyle, not a syllabus.
Personal hands-on alignment, your name remembered, every doubt answered. No assembly-line teaching.
Right on the holy river in Laxman Jhula — not 20km away like many schools that claim "Rishikesh".

We Follow
Samadhi Yoga Ashram follows the teachings of generations of Himalayan masters and saints who lived in the cave hermitages of the Himalayas. The teaching lineage stretches back nearly 5,000 years and includes Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Rama of the Himalayas, and his student Swami Veda Bharati. This tradition was practiced for centuries without a single name — we refer to it simply as the Tradition of the Himalayan Masters.
Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi, the founder of Samadhi Yoga Ashram, is a student of Swami Veda Bharati — who was, in turn, a student of Swami Rama. Through this unbroken teacher-student chain, the practical methods of pranayama, meditation, kriya and yoga philosophy have been transmitted from one generation to the next without being diluted by trend.
Although yoga has roots in Hindu culture, it is not a religion. The Himalayan path is open to anyone — regardless of religion, language or nationality. What it asks of you is sincerity, regularity, and willingness to learn from a teacher. The classical teacher-student relationship is still the foundation of how we work.
The ashram teaches the full eight-limbed path of yoga — including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra Yoga. A central instruction of the Himalayan tradition is "to be free of fear, become aware of the reality within." The work is practical, daily, and grounded — not abstract, not religious, not performative.

The Kundalini, Tantra and Meditation course was unlike any yoga training I had attended before. The chakra sadhana, kriya practices and tantric pranayama opened layers of myself I never knew existed. The teachers spoke from their own experience — not from books.

I came expecting a meditation retreat and left with a complete map of the energy body. Mantra-Shaktipata, bandha practices and Yoga Nidra were taught with such clarity. Yogi Vishnu’s lineage and authenticity are the real thing — this is Kundalini taught the traditional Himalayan way.

As an Indian seeker, this course returned me to the roots of our own tantric tradition. Chakra meditation, mantra and the kriya yoga practices for Mooladhara to Sahasrara were taught with deep reverence. Studying on the banks of the Ganga made every kriya feel sacred.

Bhramari, Bhastrika, Nadi-Shodhanam and the Kundalini Kriya Yoga sequences shifted my whole nervous system. After 12 days I left calmer, clearer and more centred than I have ever been. This is a meditation course as much as it is yoga — profound and authentic.

FAQs - 100 Hour Kundalini Yoga TTC
"Kundalini" literally means coiling, like a serpent. In classical Hatha Yoga literature Kundalini is described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. "Kunda" also means a fire-pit — a fire covered with ash that is unable to burn the impurities of life until awakened. Kundalini is the dormant energy of awareness and the creative force of life.
The practices that help to awaken this dormant serpent energy together form Kundalini Yoga. Drawing from the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad, Hatha Yoga Pradipika and other classical texts, the path uses bandhas, mudras, mantras and kriyas to cleanse the chakras and nadis and gradually awaken the higher energy.
Most modern yoga is asana-based and focuses on the physical body. Kundalini Yoga is spiritual in nature — its real focus is the energy body, chakras, mantra and meditation, with asana acting as a supportive foundation rather than the goal.
Regular practice supports physical wellbeing, flexibility, nerve strength and weight balance, while also bringing mental and emotional stability, inner joy, clarity and mindfulness. On the deeper level it reduces stress, dissolves blockages and supports spiritual awakening, fearlessness and self-knowledge.
No. We teach traditional Kundalini Yoga from the classical Himalayan lineage and are not affiliated with the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) founded by Yogi Bhajan. Our teachings draw from Swami Rama, Kashmir Shaivism and the wider Indian Tantra-Yoga tradition. Yogi Vishnu has compiled and taught these practices for over 15 years.
Prana is the vital breath and bio-energetic force that maintains the functioning of body and mind. Kundalini, on the other hand, is the unified cosmic energy that manifests as consciousness itself. When Prana becomes balanced and expands within Sushumna Nadi, Kundalini begins to rise along the spine. Prana and Kundalini are deeply interconnected.
Sushumna is the central channel that runs along the spine from the root to the crown, piercing the seven chakras. The goal of Kundalini Yoga is to awaken this energy so that all the nadis and chakras are balanced and opened, removing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages so that life flows freely and joyfully.
True Kundalini awakening asks for inner work on every layer of yourself — through Bhakti (devotion), Seva (selfless service), Jnana (self-inquiry), pranayama, mantra and meditation. With patience and a sincere teacher, the right practices remove blockages and the energy gradually rises on its own — safely, naturally and without force.
