During this course, students attend and practice regular asana, pranayama, kriyas, and meditation to gain a deeper understanding of this ancient path while building a strong foundation for their future study. Kundalini Yoga is one of the oldest ancient spiritual practices that yogis have been using to awaken the dormant spiritual energy, which resides at the base of the spine and holds the potential to awaken higher states of consciousness. For a long time, yogis and spiritual seekers have practised Kundalini Yoga as a means of inner transformation, self-realisation, and spiritual growth. This life force is mentioned in traditional texts as a serpent coiled three and a half times at the base of the spine, waiting to be awakened through disciplined practice and sincere sadhana.

And throughout this 100 Hour Kundalini Program, we teach students the existence, functions, and traditional understanding of this energy. This course provides a practical introduction to the methods which yogis used to awaken their Kundalini. By developing awareness of breath, energy, and consciousness, students begin to appreciate the transformative potential of this ancient system.

At Adi Yoga Ashram, we provide a environment in which a students can grow and deepen their understanding of Kundalini energy and the subtle body. We have designed the practices carefully and in structured way such as guided meditations, students are introduced to the concepts of chakras, nadis, prana, mantra etc. The goal in this program is not to simply just learn the techniques but to gain greater awareness and establish a strong personal practice.

The teachings at Adi Yoga Ashram are rooted in the traditional Kundalini Tantra system, a path that has been preserved through scriptures, oral teachings, and generations of dedicated practitioners. Kundalini tradition views a person's spiritual growth as a gradual and continous process that require discipline, mental clarity, and awareness. In the traditional Kundalini Tantra approach, emphasis is placed on understanding and cultivating the dormant Kundalini energy through systematic practice. Students learn how the different components of yoga work together to prepare the body and mind for deeper spiritual experiences. Rather than focusing on dramatic experiences that sold as kundlaini awekaning, the training encourages consistency, patience, self-observation, and disciplined practice.

The Kundalini Tantra tradition also teaches us that your personal transformation is strongly connected with a deeper understanding of life and our connection with the world around us. By dedicated study and practice, students are encouraged to find balance, awareness, compassion, and a greater sense of connection with the universal energy that underlies all existence. When the program finishes, students leave with a clearer understanding of what Kundalini Yoga and its tradition is, and also end up with a stronger personal practice with deeper appreciation for one of the most profound traditions within the yogic system.

Frequent Asked Questions

No. Yoga Alliance registration starts at the 200 Hour level, regardless of the style of yoga being studied. This means a 100 Hour Kundalini Program cannot be registered independently with Yoga Alliance. However, it can serve as the first half of a 200 Hour training if you choose to continue your studies later.

Yes, absolutely. Many students choose this program because they simply cannot stay here for a full month due to work or otherwise. So what they do is complete the first half of our 200 Hour Kundalini Teacher Training program first, and then return home to continue your personal practice, and come back later whenever it suits your schedule to complete the remaining part of the course and receive your full 200 Hour certification.

No, it not mandatory. We have designed this program for beginners and it covers everything from the basics. During your 12 days, you will be introduced to Kundalini kriyas, mudras, bandhas, and other practices step by step, which will help you build a strong foundation before moving on to more advanced training.

Both programs include subjects like anatomy, Hatha Yoga, pranayama, and philosophy. The main difference is the practical focus. The Multi-Style program spends more time on Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, while the Kundalini program focuses more on kriyas, chakras, mudras, bandhas, and other traditional Kundalini practices.

Kundalini Yoga is traditionally taught step by step, not rushed. For this reason, we spend time building a strong foundation before introducing more advanced practices. Students learn the importance of preparing the body, breathing correctly, understanding the techniques properly, and progressing gradually through the practices.
