Answers of Most asked QUESTIONS

Frequent Asked Questions

You don’t need any advanced experience to be part of our program. A little background in yoga or meditation certainly helps, but the way we have put together the curriculum at Adi Yoga Ashram is very methodical. We will start you off with some fundamental Hatha work to get your body and nervous system in order before we move on to the more intense Kundalini Kriyas. In this manner, the program is open to a committed beginner as much as to one who has been at it for years.

You will find the main distinction in how the energetic body is treated. A course in Hatha or Multi-Style Yoga puts most of its emphasis on the physical side, with an eye to structural mechanics and holding static postures in proper alignment. The Kundalini Yoga TTC is different; it is about rousing your spiritual energy that has lain dormant. To bring about a change in your consciousness, the training makes use of such things as sound vibrations (Mantra), intensive Pranayama, energetic Bandhas and dynamic kriya sequences.

You won’t find us treating a true Kundalini awakening as something to be made light of, or as a casual affair you can put in your weekend schedule. It is no joke and certainly not a quick process; rather, it is a deep spiritual transformation that, by tradition, demands years of steady, devoted Sadhana (spiritual practice) to bring the chakras fully alive.
That is why our 200-hour course is not about trying to force an overnight awakening of your Kundalini. At Adi Yoga Ashram we take a different approach, we are here to give you the right tools and the experiential know-how to ready your energetic system. You will learn the proper safety measures along with some essential grounding, classical Hatha alignments and the kind of yogic nutrition we call Mitahara. All of this is to fortify your nervous system so that when your energy does begin to evolve on its own over the years, the change is safe and stable.

There is no doubt about it. We are a fully registered yoga school with Yoga Alliance here at Adi Yoga Ashram. Once you have put in the work on your practical teaching methodology and passed the final evaluation, we will issue your 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate. With that credential in hand, which is recognized around the world, you can put your name down as an RYT-200 and start teaching Kundalini and foundational Hatha in a professional capacity wherever you may be.

What you are really after in this practice is a kind of harmony between mind and body. By putting aside the mental clutter, you can get beyond the physical and make a direct connection with your soul to see who you truly are. In that sense it is a way to Self-realize; a transformative process meant to put some order in your energetic system and open up your inner consciousness. It is all about catalysing your own spiritual evolution.
