It is hard to believe we have completed another year of Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. For many years I have had the privilege to be part of the teaching team lead by Sat Dharam Kaur and every year I am blown away by the caliber of people becoming teachers, through this program. I have had the fortune to witness the transformation of these amazing people.
Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training
I reflect back to when I went through the training program. I was dealing with a severe eczema-like condition all over my face and hands. At five o’clock in the morning I would have to wear sunglasses to protect the raw skin around my eyes. Some days I would hold my face and just cry because the pain was so much. Specialists just wanted to give me a cortisone cream, which I refused. I wanted to solve the problem not bury it deeper inside. Over the months of the course, the training awakened me to all aspects of my life, some I was prepared for and others I was not. I questioned my values and beliefs. I realized I was avoiding my problems rather than deal with them. I became a master at burying my emotions.
With the daily practice of kriyas and meditation I started to feel alive inside and that I had a purpose in this life. I went to a Kundalini Yoga Woman’s Camp in Vancouver to experience more deeply the yogic lifestyle. Not surprising, my condition started to clear up. So now I was hooked! I developed a daily spiritual discipline which continues to this day. I thrive on sharing the love and passion I feel for these sacred teachings which are so relevant for us today.
Congratulations to all the new teachers. Be the lighthouse, be the change you want to see. Sat Nam.
