Guru Rattana PhD - Author and Pioneer

As a beginner you will find no better way to commence and build your practice than her Introduction to Kundalini Yoga, Volumes 1 & 2.

Over the years she has gone deeper into the essence of this “Yoga of Awareness”. Able to tune into the subtler aspects of the technology, she teaches her students to pay attention, focus, listen, and feel, so that they can consciously experience its full physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits. You will discover much more about this approach in her latest book, The Inner Art of Kundalini Yoga.

Her monthly self-awareness Zoom workshops are on a level beyond that taught elsewhere, a humanized and nurturing approach to the teachings.

Guru Rattana's teachings have made a major contribution to the self-empowerment of women. Inclusive and respectful of human emotions and Mother Earth, she integrates the feminine nurturing polarity into a realistic and practical spiritual path. She has always aspired to help everyone live from their hearts, so together we can all work towards creating a peaceful and heart-centered world. See her popular ground-breaking book The Gift of Womanhood.

She is very active on Facebook and writes regularly in her Guru Rattana Blog, on matters of spiritual awakening, astrology, and Kundalini Yoga. Her Guru Rattana Online streaming video service has made Kundalini Yoga available in many places where there were previously no teachers, and helped spread the teachings to some of the most far-flung corners of the globe.

She earned her Doctorate in Political Science from the Graduate Institute of International Studies (University of Geneva) and received her Master’s degree from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (Washington, DC, and Bologna, Italy).

Her academic career included teaching International Environment and Development Studies at Dartmouth College, MIT, and New Hampshire College, and Philosophies of Life and History at the U.S. International University (San Diego). She has also taught courses at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, California, and Stanford University.

Guru Rattana now lives, writes, and organizes her Zoom workshops from her base in Coronado (San Diego), California.
