Looking for an advanced program which will improve your knowledge and teachings of Traditional Kundalini? Your search is over. In Adi Yoga Ashram, we are running a 28-day 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Program for students who have already completed their 200 Hour Yoga TTC but wish to continue their studies at a deeper level.

This course covers traditional Kundalini practices, separate philosophy for both yoga and kundalini, chakras, traditional pranayamas, meditation techniques, mudras & bandhas, and more, while helping students build a stronger practice and a deeper understanding of overall subjects.

In a 200 Hour training, students cover the foundations of Kundalini Yoga, but the 300 Hour program allows students to spend more time learning about the finer details which they haven't learned before. Dedicated classes on topics such as kriyas, kundalini philosophy, and teaching methodology are studied in greater depth. The goal here is not simply to learn about techniques, but to feel them and understand how the Kundalini system works together as a whole.

The training follows a structured balance of practical and theoretical learning; students take part in daily asana classes, lectures, self-practice, and more throughout the program. This approach helps students understand not only how to perform the practices, but also how to teach them safely and responsibly to others.

A student can complete the program anywhere in the world, but Rishikesh provides a unique environment for study of yogic systems including traditional Kundalini. This town is surrounded by the Himalayan mountains, and the river Ganga passes through the middle, giving its energy to the whole place. Students have the opportunity to step away from their day to day distractions and have a dedicated time and environment for practice, study, and most importantly, self-reflection. The vibrant yet peaceful atmosphere of the city has been attracting yoga practitioners and spiritual seekers for years and continues to do so.

At our Yoga Teacher Training Center, we always advocate small batches to promote student-teacher interactions and enhance the learning experience.

And here in Rishikesh at the Adi Yoga Ashram, you'll get to experience all. We have experienced teachers who have spent many years studying and practising under the traditional yogic system and will happily pass the knowledge to you in the classes. To make our program suitable for the new world out there, we have combined classical Kundalini teachings with a practical approach to modern teaching in our syllabus, which helps students connect traditional knowledge with real-world application, so they can teach better in real-life scenarios.

It does not matter whether your goal is toward your personal practice or to become a better yoga teacher; this training offers a structured path for both. Through regular practice, study, and self-observation, students develop deeper confidence, discipline, and clarity in both their practice and teaching.

Our 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is registered with Yoga Alliance USA. Students who have already completed a recognised 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training can combine both certifications to meet the educational requirements for the RYT 500 level.

Eligibility & Requirements - 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program

The 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is designed for students who have already completed a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and wish to continue their studies in traditional Kundalini Yoga. This course is suitable for yoga teachers looking to expand their knowledge, as well as dedicated practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of Kundalini practices and philosophy.

As this is an advanced-level training, students should already be familiar with basic yoga postures, pranayama, meditation, yoga philosophy, and the foundations of yoga teaching. You do not need to be an advanced practitioner, but you should be comfortable with regular yoga practice and ready to commit to a full month of study and practice.

The training includes Kundalini kriyas, pranayama, meditation, mudras, bandhas, and many more classes. Students should be prepared for a intensive daily schedule that includes both practical and theoretical classes.

Since the course involves daily practice and long study hours, so we expect students to be good physical and mental health before they apply for the program. This course may not be suitable for those with serious injuries or chronic medical conditions that could limit participation in regular classes.

All classes and lectures are conducted in English. Students should have a sufficient level of English to understand instructions, take part in discussions, and follow the theoretical subjects taught during the training.

To join the 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training, students must hold a valid 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certification from a Yoga Alliance registered yoga school.

Certification of 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga TTC

Our 300 Hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is registered with Yoga Alliance USA as an RYS 300 program. Students who have already completed their 200 Hour TTC certification can combine both qualifications to meet the educational requirements for the RYT 500 level.

We understand that the certification is an important part of the training, but many students find that the real value comes from spending a full month focused on practice and study. Through regular practice of Kundalini kriyas and discussions with teachers, during the program students continue to develop a better understanding of the practice while gaining confidence in their personal practice and teaching.

Going Beyond the Practice Itself

  • In a foundational training, students learn how to perform Kundalini kriyas and practices. In the 300 Hour program, we spend more time understanding how and why these practices are structured in a particular way. Students explore the relationship between kriyas, pranayama, mudras, bandhas, mantra, and meditation, and how these elements work together within the wider system of Kundalini Yoga.
  • Traditional Teachings with Modern Understanding

  • Kundalini Yoga works closely with the breath, nervous system, and mental state. Alongside the traditional teachings, students explore the physiological effects of breathing practices, relaxation techniques, and meditation. This helps create a bridge between traditional yogic knowledge and a modern understanding of the body.
  • Advanced Pranayama, Mudras & Bandhas

  • Breathwork becomes a much bigger part of the 300 Hour training. Students spend more time working with advanced pranayama practices, breath retention, mudras, and bandhas while learning how these techniques are used within Kundalini Yoga. The focus is on building a better personal practice while learning how these methods can be taught safely and progressively to students.
  • Learning to Teach Safely

  • As students progress in their practice, different physical, mental, and emotional experiences can arise. An important part of advanced training is learning how to support students in a responsible and balanced way. During the course, students develop the skills related to observation, communication and practical teaching experience needed to guide others safely and confidently.
