Overview

15 days 80 hours of certified yoga teacher training

Kundalini- the snake like energy coiled at the root of your spine, eager to rise up the Energy Channels along the Spine to your Ajna Chakra between your eyebrows, where this Energy- also named Shakti – meets Shiva:the Pure Consciousness . Here Energy and Consciousness are melting into each other to rise up even higher till your Crown, where Sahasrara with its sounded pedaled lotus is situated. Here Shiva and Shakti dance their Cosmic dance and bring you in connection with your higher Self.

Course Location

On this two-week trip to the Indian Himalayas we will stay in Mcleod Ganj, the “Little Lhasa”, home to a huge tibetan population and located at an altitude of 1800 meters. The influence of the buddhist culture is very visible in this pristine town, steaming with monks. The town is famous with yoga enthusiasts all over the world and people eager to study buddhism and buddhist temples. Our Guest House, the Ram Yoga House, is located right at the foot of the Indian Himalayas. The Dalai Lama`s residence is just within walking distance. Amazing tibetan restaurants and shops, momo (dumplings) stalls, buddhist prayer chants and prayer flags adorn the environment.

From our yoga hall we have a magnificent view down into the Kangra valley and up high to the first snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas.

The days in Mcleod Ganj will be regularly structured with morning Yoga classes with meditation, theory sessions and workshops. Two healthy meals are being served daily and you will also have the opportunity for some relaxing massages and recreation time.

This Training course will end with a visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar- The capital of the Sikh Religion and Home of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. The graduation ceremony for the course will take place here.
