| "I thought Gururattana's presence and intellect would
be intimidating. But no. It is exceptional how she brings all
this spiritual wisdom down to what is real. She relates to every
student heart to heart. She honors everybody where they are
at and then takes them deeper into the heart of their soul."

I
AM A HATHA/ASTANGA/IYENGAR YOGA TEACHER. HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM STUDYING KUNDALINI
YOGA?
The different forms of Hatha offer an
important foundation, preparing the body to hold higher frequencies
of energies. Hatha, Astanga, Iyengar and other yogas that concentrate
on postures work on detoxing the physical body and confronting the
ego.
Kundalini yoga offers the next level of integration.
Because it includes a vigorous physical workout, pranayama, mantras,
meditation and Bhakti, it takes the practitioner to a deeper level
of awareness and connection with Self. Kundalini Yoga is a comprehensive
technology designed to facilitate healing at the core of your being.
The practice of Kundalini Yoga produces a distinctively
connected high. Because you go deeper, you experience a different
kind of "feel good" energy. Your energy is rearranged
and you are rewired from the inside out.
WHY
IS THIS COURSE REGISTERED WITH YOGA ALLIANCE?
Yoga Alliance is the internationally recognized
organization that certifies all programs and teachers including
IKYTA (International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association). Yoga
Alliance was set up to transcend the boundaries of specific schools
and bring unity to the yoga community.
WHY
SHOULD I CHOOSE KUNDALINI RISING SCHOOL FOR MY TRAINING?
Our Kundalini Rising Training offers
a distinct style of teaching and methods of self-empowerment. We
have integrated the feminine dynamic into the ancient teachings.
The feminine is creative, alive, and responsive to the unfoldment
of our human journey. When the feminine is appropriately activated,
the masculine becomes neutral, non-judgmental, stable and supportive.
We can practice Kundalini Yoga and feel
good. But to develop life skills that make it possible to operate
in our daily lives from a soul perspective, inner training is required.
We must learn how to integrate the energies we have unleashed. Some
of the skills you will learn to cultivate are:
- how to hold stability in your psyche
- how to operate from a non-judgmental perspective
- how to use your emotional energy creatively
- how to experience an energetic sense of self
- how to hold an awareness of the Infinite in
your daily routine
If you feel called to join us in
Hawaii, we will be delighted to share with you how to use Kundalini
Yoga to connect with your destiny path and help others do so as
well. The Aquarian Age is about personal empowerment. The good news is
that deep in our hearts we each know the best course of action for
ourselves. This course will help you listen to your heart. Therein lies your truth, your beauty
and your power.
"Divinely inspired, Guru Rattana and Guru Kirin bring a
carefully crafted lesson plan to help transition the devoted
from Kundalini Yoga student to teacher."
- Diana Bellucci, author of "How To Pronounce" Series |
WHAT
IS DIFFERENT ABOUT YOUR COURSE?
Although this course shares and
maintains the integrity of the technology of Kundalini Yoga, it
goes way beyond the basics. The dynamic that we add is the Inner
Art of Awareness. We will teach you HOW to deal with your mind and emotions,
to expand your awareness and to take advantage of the openings created
by this powerful technology?
What is unique is that we teach how to connect with
the qualities
of the basic universal energies and how they express in your soul blueprint.
As you learn to connect with and hold these subtle energies in your awareness,
you will access another dimension of your being. You will feel the presence of
the Infinite inside yourself. You will open yourself up to living your life
from an expanded understanding of reality.
Guru Rattana has developed the Inner
Art of Awareness over the last 30 years. She also integrates a broad
perspective of the world into the yogic technology so that it can
be relevant and beneficially practiced by people of different interests,
circumstances and beliefs.

Rattana's Books. From them you will gain a lot of basic information
about Kundalini yoga, which we don't want to just repeat. Our goal
is to take you into your personal experience of self. We will focus
our explanations on how to use Kundalini Yoga to move into deeper levels of
awareness and empowerment.
We also strongly recommend that you enroll in Guru Rattana Online - streaming video instruction covering many aspects of the art and science of Kundalini Yoga. It will give you valuable insights into her teaching methods, and position you to gain the utmost benefit from your time in Hawaii.
If you are not already a member of our Teachers'
Forum, then you should join now.

about to take the course in Hawaii. You will be given student
membership. From the Forum you will be able to access Heartbeat,
our regular teachers' newsletter, as well as receiving special wholesale
discounts from the Yoga Technology Online Store, and other benefits.
Finally, you will find an abundant amount of information
on Kundalini Yoga on our websites, www.kundaliniyoga.org

newer to KY may wish to explore.

WILL I BE ABLE TO TEACH?

of your personal freedom, joy and peace, this course is for you.

inner state of being. After this course, you will share with others
and impact the world in so many profound ways that you never even
dreamed of.
