Guru Rattana PhD - Author and Pioneer

She has been publishing her Kundalini Yoga books since 1988-89. In her first four manuals, which helped launch the teachings to a much wider global audience, she was primarily concerned with assembling information and writing down the instructions for the amazing yoga sets and meditations taught by Yogi Bhajan at his early classes.

After many decades of daily practice and teaching, she now writes and teaches from her own vast experience of the transformative power of this sacred technology. She has witnessed the effects of this practice in her own life, and in the lives of the many women and men she has taught from all over the world.

Over the years, she has gone deeper into the essence of The Yoga of Awareness. She can now tune into the subtler aspects of the technology, and teaches her students to pay attention, focus, listen, and feel, so that they can consciously experience its full physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits.

Her works include the Kundalini Yoga and Meditation manuals: Transitions to a Heart-Centered World, Relax and Renew, Sexuality and Spirituality, and Introduction to Kundalini Yoga (new edition in 2 volumes), as well as Your Life is in Your Chakras, The Destiny of Women Is the Destiny of the World, and her recent books The Inner Art of Kundalini Yoga — Awaken Your Heart to Love, The Gift of Womanhood — Inner Mastery, Outer Mystery, The Power of Neutral – Soul Alchemy in Meditation and Sing to Your Soul - Awaken to Oneness.

She is very active on Facebook, and writes regularly in her Guru Rattana Blog, on spiritual awakening, astrology, and Kundalini Yoga, a natural successor to her eZine The New Millennium Being.

Her Guru Rattana Online streaming video subscription service has made Kundalini Yoga available in many places where there are no teachers, and helped to spread the teachings to some of the most far-flung corners of the Earth. The service has recently received a major upgrade, and will now work on all devices including iPhones & Androids. There are 76 lessons currently available with more in the pipeline.

Her international teaching tours have taken her to England, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Russia, Ukraine, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Portugal, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia. She is lead trainer and co-creator of KRIYA Inner Awareness Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Courses, registered with Yoga Alliance.

A KRI-certified Kundalini Yoga teacher, Guru Rattana has attended over 100 White Tantric Meditation courses, including Summer and Winter Solstices, and over a dozen Khalsa Women’s Training Camps, where she taught many classes.

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