KRI Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Programs: The Aquarian Teacher™
The Aquarian Age is upon us. Tides are turning and the world is calling for a greater capacity and caliber of a human. The time has come when our steel has to be tested, so let us be ready to temper our steel.
~ Yogi Bhajan
Through the direct guidance of Yogi Bhajan, the Aquarian Teacher Training program has been divided into three stages:
Level 1 - Aquarian Teacher: Foundations and Awakening
This is where we learn the fundamental understanding and experience that the basic self is always one with the One (Ek Ong Kar); understanding of the essential parts and character of a human being, and the fundamental principles and practices of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Completing this stage makes you a certified Instructor of Kundalini Yoga.
Level 2 - Aquarian Teacher: Transformation
This is the practice and expression of the awareness that we are ONE with GOD. The projection of our true identity (Sat Nam), to be the embodiment of this identity through our word and action and to expand and deepen the consciousness of the Teacher within us. Completing this stage makes you a certified Practitioner of Kundalini Yoga.
Level 3 - Aquarian Teacher: Realization
This is the experience of ecstasy (Siri Wahe Guru). That experience is reflected in the Teacher's word, action, character, seva and reputation. Completing this stage makes you an acknowledged and certified Teacher of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan.
