50-Hour Shakti Kundalini Yoga Specialization
Prepare the Body. Awaken the System. Teach with Integrity.
A 50-hour immersion into Shakti Kundalini Yoga that draws from the traditional Kundalini practices of the east with clearly contextualized modern methods, offering you a path of practice that is intelligent and deeply embodied.
This training is about becoming someone who can hold, receive, and guide awakening.
Training Dates: February 8-12, 2027
A Kundalini and Subtle Body Immersion
Kundalini draws people who feel something deeper moving beneath the surface of practice.
At some point, curiosity turns into discernment. You begin to ask where these teachings come from, what is truly happening in the body, and how to work with energy in a way that is honest and grounded.
This immersion gives you that.
We center Shakti Kundalini Yoga, grounded in traditional frameworks where awakening is prepared for through practice and not forced through intensity.
You will study:
Breath, bandha, mudra, mantra, and kriya as tools that shape energy
Subtle anatomy as a lived system, not just a concept
Awakening as a process of reorganization, not a peak experience
How to work with energy in ways that are safe, skillful, and sustainable
Where modern Kundalini methods are included, they are clearly labeled so you always know the source and can choose your relationship to them.
What Makes This Approach Different
This training is grounded in the understanding of Kundalini as Shakti, the living force of consciousness moving through the body and subtle system.
Rather than pushing for activation, this approach emphasizes:
Preparing the system so energy can move without overwhelm
Clearing accumulated tension, patterning, and energetic congestion
Working directly with prana through breath, sound, and attention
Supporting integration as much as activation
Kundalini is not something you make happen.
It is something you learn how to work with, listen to, and allow to unfold.
How We Teach and What You Gain:
This immersion is built on experience.
You leave not just inspired, but changed in how you understand and guide energy.
Clarity. Understand the difference between traditional teachings and modern adaptations without confusion.
Safety. Learn progressive methods that prepare the body and nervous system for deeper energetic work.
Choice. Receive multiple pathways for mantra, sequencing, and teaching so your work reflects your values.
Depth. Build a personal sadhana that purifies, stabilizes, and awakens over time.
Relevance. Learn how to translate subtle body teachings into classes that are accessible and real for modern students.
What you will practice:
This is a practice-based training. You will not stay in theory.
You will work directly with the tools that shape awakening:
Breath mechanics and bandha for directing energy
Kriya design for specific energetic effects
Mantra and sound as vibrational tools for transformation
Cleansing and preparatory practices that clear pathways in the system
Subtle anatomy including chakras, nadis, and prana vayus
Meditation practices that work beyond the thinking mind
You will also begin to understand how samskaras and karmic patterning surface and release as energy becomes more active.
Teaching and Holding Space
Alongside your own practice, you learn how to guide others through these processes with care and awareness.
This includes:
Sequencing classes that build progressively
Teaching breath-led movement and energy-aware practices
Using language that is grounded, respectful, and clear
Recognizing signs of energetic opening and how to respond
Supporting integration rather than pushing for experience
You are learning how to hold something real, not just lead a class.
Who This Is For:
Practitioners who want to understand Kundalini beyond surface-level experience
Yoga teachers who want to integrate energy-based practices into their teaching
Kundalini teachers seeking a more traditional and transparent foundation
Healers and therapists working with subtle body and energetic processes
Graduates of 200- or 300-hour programs who want to deepen their skillset

You know what you are teaching, where it comes from, and how to stand behind it.
Expanded Skillset
You gain practical tools for working with breath, energy, and subtle anatomy in real ways.
Teaching Confidence
You can lead classes that are structured, progressive, and energetically aware.

A Note on Lineage and Transparency
Modern Kundalini Yoga, particularly the system associated with Yogi Bhajan, has undergone deep scrutiny and reevaluation.
We stand with those who spoke truth.
In this training:
Modern methods are clearly labeled when included
Traditional teachings are centered wherever possible
Students are given context, not doctrine
You are supported in choosing your own relationship to what you learn
You are not being asked to follow.
You are being taught how to discern, understand, and embody.
