Course Details
Part One (for those who haven’t already completed this training): Foundations of Kundalini Yoga Therapy: Principles and Practices
March 9 – 10, 2026 (Mon-Tue)
Level 1 Teacher Training prepares you to teach people who are healthy. A separate set of skills and a different way of thinking are required to teach people with health conditions.
This two-day intensive lays the groundwork for that next step — offering the foundation you need to begin developing the skills to safely and effectively teach Kundalini Yoga to people facing health challenges.
In preparation for this in-person training, participants will complete self-paced online learning through the platform Teachable.com, including videos, articles, meditations, kriyas, and guided self-reflection practices. These materials provide the foundational theory and personal experience that will support your integration and understanding during the in-person component.
Through this training, you’ll explore the essential framework of teaching Kundalini Yoga therapeutically, including the principles of co-regulation, interoception, and therapeutic presence that distinguish a therapeutic approach from a general class.
Part Two: Trauma Responsive Kundalini Yoga for Recovery from Post-Traumatic Stress
March 11 – 15, 2026 (Wed-Sun)
Learn how to teach safely and effectively to those recovering from post-traumatic stress.
Learn how to teach Trauma Responsive Kundalini Yoga to people recovering from post-traumatic stress. No matter what the cause of the trauma, movement through Kriya, breath and mantra are time-tested approaches clinically demonstrated to be effective in helping people reconnect with their body, reduce symptoms, and provide the support to move from a state of reactivity to an experience of safety and calm.
This training is skill based: you will leave knowing how to safely teach Kundalini Yoga to those recovering from trauma, no matter what the source. You will learn and practice the specific skills you need to compassionately, safely, and effectively instruct a trauma informed Kundalini Yoga course for people recovering from post-traumatic stress.
This training is science based: you will learn how trauma dis-regulates the brain, nervous, structural, and endocrine systems and what specific practices of Kundalini Yoga re-set self-regulation over the effects of trauma.
This training is research based: Three scientific studies on the 10-week curriculum you will teach demonstrates this evidence based Trauma Informed Kundalini Yoga curriculum is safe and effective for those recovering from trauma. In addition, you will receive a review of the published studies on the bio-medical effects of yoga practice on trauma recovery.
You will not find this collection of skill, science, and research on the process of recovery from trauma through Kundalini Yoga anywhere else.
In This Course You Will Learn to:
- Identify the indicators of Post-Traumatic Stress and what is necessary for recovery.
- Understand the impact of trauma on the brain, glandular and nervous systems and how a specific practice of Kundalini Yoga restores healthy regulation to these systems.
- Gain skill in methods to co-regulate with your students and clients
