Training Teachers Since 1988

The Aquarian Teacher, will be the light carrier for the Aquarian Age. “This is an age ruled by awareness, information and energy. The chaos of daily life is evident in the difficulty for people to cope with their day-to-day lives. The body, mind and spirit have to be organized to meet these challenges. The word will spread that ‘Yoga is the way’ because people will see that people who practice yoga are bright and beautiful, calm, quiet, and blissful. They will recognize that the yogic community is sincere, dependable, serving and giving.” Yogi Bhajan

Program!
We meet in a seminar house with a history of prayer and community. The many old trees, home to beautiful singing birds, surround the building where we do our work. The house has heated floors, private dining room, plenty of showers and toilets, nature paths, and artistic expressions everywhere. One meal is prepared each weekend, by an Indian cook who makes the most delicious Indian food. As a group we prepare the rest of our meals and take responsibility for keeping the space clean. This working together helps to build the group consciousness necessary for merging the ego into the universal consciousness.

The 200 hour course has 160 hours of classroom time plus another 40 hours of assignments done outside of class. We meet 7 weekends and 1 full week. Weekends begin 19.00 Friday and end 17.00 Sunday. Everyday starts with sadhana in the early morning and then are classes, more yoga, more meditations, outside activities and free time.

Training books include the new 3HO training manual (a 3 year effort), The Master’s Touch (talks and meditations from Yogi Bhajan), Self Knowledge (many great yoga sets and meditations) and Yogi’s World (a small part of GM’s collection from the last 30 years).

All spoken training in English or German with translation. ‘Super Learning’ technique is used to improve the understanding and value of the material.

Team!
Everyone on our great team offers their many years of experience on subjects they most love to teach. All trainers are KRI/IKYTA certified.

Team leader, Gurumarka Khalsa, began teaching Kundalini Yoga in 1972. He lived 14 years at the ashram in New Mexico attending classes with Yogi Bhajan. Gurumarka has been living, teaching and training teachers in Europe since 1995.

All spoken training is in German or English with translation. ‘Super Learning’ technique is used for better understanding and comprehension.

The Week!
The full week (equal to 3 weekends), is a rare opportunity to go deep into the experience of who we truly are. Our base during the week is our daily practice (sadhana), and a healthy yogic diet. This provides the frame to look at our relationship between: food, eating, emotions, stress and family patterns. We will do longer meditations, experience the power of group consciousness, do group activities in nature, and some surprises. Past participants were amazed at the truly life transforming effect of this one week.

Extras!
Each participant will have at least two personal interviews during the year to support the changes that naturally come up during the training.

Certified teachers who have taken this course, will join us during many of the weekends to offer their support, wisdom, experience, inspiration and guidance – plus this is a great way to meet and build our yoga community.

Certification!
An International Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training certification is given to those participants who meet the following requirements; attendance at all the classes; course paid in full; passing grade on written exam, presentation, and oral test; complete two yoga course curricula; complete at least one 40-day sadhana; attend a White Tantric Yoga course; submit a confidential evaluation for each trainer; join either the international (IKYTA) or national organization of teachers (3HO Germany); and pass an evaluation based on the 3HO Code of Professional Standards for Kundalini Yoga Teachers.

You may also take the training without certification and still teach. Membership means you are part of a professional international organization that includes listings in printed and online directories, discounts for yogi products, books and music, access to yoga library and discounts at some yoga events.

Anyone of any age or background or ability can take this training.
