300 Hour Kundalini, Tantra & Meditation Yoga TTC in Rishikesh

The 200 Hour introduces you to the foundations of Kundalini sadhana — chakras, basic kriya yoga, tantric pranayama and meditation. The 300 Hour goes much deeper: advanced kriya sequences, Mantra-Shaktipata, granthi (energy lock) release, advanced anatomy, Reiki healing, scriptural study and most importantly — teaching methodology so that you graduate able to safely guide others through Kundalini practice.

Yes — a Yoga Alliance RYT 200 (or equivalent 200 Hour TTC from a registered school) is required to enroll. This is an advanced course and presumes you already have foundational knowledge of asana, pranayama, philosophy and teaching methodology. If you have completed any 200 Hour TTC and have a sincere meditation practice, you are welcome.

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.

Mantra-Shaktipata is the science of energy transmission — the descent of Shakti from teacher to disciple through mantra, breath, touch or look. In the 300 Hour course we explain the philosophy, the lineage protocols and the science behind it, and integrate prepared practices respectfully — only after the body and mind are ready. We do not commercialise Shaktipata; it is offered as the lineage allows.

Many texts describe the signs — a gentle flow of energy along the spine, then deeper waves of bliss and joy, moments of awareness beyond the ordinary mind, and finally a deep stillness and silence. Shaking of the body is usually just the body’s natural energy moving, not awakening itself. The reliable signs are inner stillness, a wave of devotion, mental clarity and a calm, joyful heart — not dramatic physical movements.

When taught traditionally and gradually, Kundalini sadhana is safe and deeply healing. The risk arises when students try to force the awakening without proper preparation — this can lead to mental imbalance. In the Himalayan tradition we teach systematically, step by step, through cleansing kriyas, balanced pranayama, bandhas and chakra meditation, so the energy rises naturally and safely.

Yes. On successful completion of the 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga TTC, you receive a Yoga Alliance USA RYT 300 certificate — combined with your existing RYT 200, this makes you a fully credentialed RYT 500 yoga teacher, internationally recognised. You also receive our ashram's lineage-based completion certificate honouring your Kundalini sadhana.

Regular advanced practice deepens flexibility, nerve strength and immunity, while bringing profound mental and emotional balance, inner joy and clarity. On the spiritual layer it dissolves blockages, opens chakras, calms the nervous system and supports states of meditative absorption, devotional surge and self-knowledge as Sushumna gradually opens.
