200 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh

"Kundalini" literally means coiling, like a snake. In the classical literature of hatha yoga kundalini is described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. “Kunda” means fire pit also, and that fire is covered with ash that’s why it is unable to burn the impurities of our life. It is the energy of awareness, creativity force of life.

The practices that helps to awaken the dormant serpent energy is called kundalini yoga. The purpose of hatha yoga is to awaken that energy but as we follow yogakundalini Upanishad, Hatha yoga pradipika and some other texts we are teaching certain exercises that clean our chakras, nadis and awake them. Bandhas, mudras, mantras, kriyas are the most powerful tool in kundalini yoga practices.

As other yoga mostly practiced physically and based on asana; but here kundalini yoga is spiritual in nature.

Regular practice of kundalini yoga bring physical wellbeing,6 improve flexibility, muscle tone and nerve strength, weight loss, balances all systems of the body, increase strength, mental and emotional balance, inner joy, clarity, mindfulness, reduce stress, spiritual awakening, fearlessness, etc.

All great sages and seers who discovered this energy and they share the knowledge for the sake of humanity.

Yogi Bhajan has created a system of practice called Kundalini yoga with specific chanting of Sikhism which is part of great Indian culture. But before him this yoga exist. Time to time the teachers they teach in their own way and create their brand with the same name.

We follow the ancient tradition of Kundalini yoga that has mentioned in ancient scriptures like yoga kundalini Upanishad, hatha yoga pradipika, etc. Yogi Vishnu has nicely compiled the practices and he has been teaching the same for more than 15 years.

No, we teach traditional kundalini yoga. We are not the part of kundalini Research Institute KRI founded by Yogi Bhajan. We follow the teachings of Himalayan Master Swami Rama, Mahavatar Babaji kriya yoga, and many other masters from Kashmir Shaivism.

Prana is the vital breath and bio-energetic motility which is associated with maintaining the functioning of the mind and body. Kundalini has a manifestations as consciousness and a unifying cosmic energy. When the prana get balanced and expands then in susumna channel kundalini rise above in the spine. They are deeply connected to each other.

In the yogic anatomy we study that susumna is the central channel which runs along with our spine from the root to crown center. It pierce through 7 chakras and chakras are associated with the most important aspects of life. By awakening it all the nadis and chakras get balanced and opened. Kundalini yoga removes the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages and allow the life to move freely and joyfully.

Many yogis has mentioned in their book that the kundalini awakening has several symptoms such as a mild sense of a trickle of energy up the spine. This is just an energy movement but true awaken can be different experience like volcano erupting inside. It gives a very pleasant sensation and leads to complete stillness and silence. Many people believes that when it awaken your whole body shakes and one feel like crazy. But they are the experience of pranic vibration as you feel body shaking in winter.

There are lots of scientific research on these topic from what it is proved that they are exist but they are subtle and physically it cannot be seen. Izaak Benthov has proposed a model to explain kundalini in terms of micro-motion in the brain. It has the micro vibration and it stimulate different part like heart, throat, navel Centre etc.

In Vajrayana tradition of tebetion Buddhism they practice kundalini yoga as they are originated in India in 12th century. Christianity, Sufism and some other tradition also have similar practice that show it is a universal practice.

To awaken kundalini you need to work on every part of yourself. There are so many ways like “Bhakti”devotion, “seva” selfless service, “Jnana” inquiry to self-etc. they all help to remove the blockages. Then when you will find a real guru, he/she will transmit the energy “Shaktipat” called decent of Shakti according to their own tradition. Following the teachings of Guru you can be blessed with this experience.

It is said when student is ready, guru arrives. So do not search for a guru but prepare yourself more and more and one day Guru Come to you in any ways. After you find him you mind always find so comfortable even looking in his picture or video or in dream. Once you feel that feeling then test the Guru if he is real or not. Once you start believing then trust and surrender yourself and ask for blessings and teachings.

Many students want to awaken their kundalini faster and without proper preparation when someone have this awakening they may feel craziness and mental imbalances. That’s why in the Himalayan tradition we teach very systematically step by step so that students enjoy can be safe from any kind of problems.

One experiences the ecstasy and blissful in mind, chant mantra and recite some unknown sounds and sometime trembling, shaking etc. Higher yogi experience the wave of bliss, periods of elation, glimpses of transcendental consciousness.

There is no relation with it. This is because some of the teacher tried to take advantage of this situation. Kundalini yoga is pure always. Always be aware and be away from them who is doing such things in the name of kundalini yoga.
