Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training

The term ‘Kundalini’ is the dormant spiritual energy that is stored in the Muladhara or the root chakra. The practice of Kundalini yoga awakes the snake lying there in the physical body. The aroused snake rises through the chakras of the body upwards including the basal chakra. Moreover, the same activates the energy of each one of the chakras, as it passes through them. You can increase the vibrations of your body through this. The essential components are breath, movement, and the sound. A typical Kundalini session starts with mantras, as they help to calm the mind. You can seamlessly move into physical exercises after a session. The kriyas come after this stage, followed by relaxation, meditation, and affirmation. The final goal is self-awareness.

  • The regular practice of Kundalini, helps in achieving a healthy and flexible body
  • Pranayama and Kriyas eliminate diseases from your mind and body
  • Kundalini practice enhances your immunity by becoming free from several diseases
  • High self-awareness and more receptiveness
  • Purification of the body decreasing toxins
  • Awareness of breath that enhances well-being
  • Good life discipline
  • Real spiritual awakening
  • Good control over energy that assists in all kinds of healing

Pranayama

Pranayama is mentioned in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, as the fourth limb. It is a science of breathwork. It includes controlling your breath in different ways and for varying lengths of time. Prana means ‘vital life force’ and Ayama means ‘expansion or extension or expanding the dimension of prana. You can elevate the energies around you with the help of pranayama. It is an exercise for physical as well as mental health. The main purpose of pranayama yoga is to connect the body and the mind. When you slow down breathing patterns, you can also increase longevity. That is the reason why some animals live longer than humans. The core reason for existence is your breathing pattern.

Mantras

Mantras are a group of syllables, complete words, or phrases. Most religious and spiritual practitioners believe them to have originated from Sanskrit. Om is believed to be the first sound that originated on earth and has divine connotations. It produces higher vibrations in the body and mind. Mantras also serve an important role in Tantra. You can also term it as a mind vibration that helps to focus the thoughts and feelings, and the highest intention. With time, the mantras and their vibrations sink deeper into the consciousness. You can practice mantra recitation to make your energies vibrate at a higher level.

Yoga Philosophy

Along with the practical applications of yoga, you need to fall back at times, on the foundation of yoga. That is what Yoga Philosophy is all about. The main philosophy of yoga states that the mind, body, and soul are all one. You need to know about the philosophical ideas, to be able to utilize the various practices under the umbrella of yoga. In yoga, you cannot choose one or leave out another aspect. The entire practice has to be carried out in totality. Spiritual ignorance can only create suffering, and nothing more than that. So, you need to amass the wealth of knowledge that the philosophy of yoga offers.

Bhajan

A Bhajan is a devotional song, that you sing to glorify any particular deity or the lord in general. It is usually the ancient scriptures, from where it originates. You can sing it straightforward, or recite it like a mantra, or add some melody. Bhajan is related to Bhakti. You will learn of different styles of Bhakti songs from different parts of India.

Alignment, Correction and Adjustment

Alignment and adjustment are fundamental concepts in the practice of Yoga, both for practitioners and instructors. Alignment refers to the precise positioning of the body in yoga poses (asanas) to achieve optimal physical and energetic benefits while minimizing the risk of injury. Adjustment, also known as hands-on adjustment or assists, involves the gentle physical manipulation of a student's body by the instructor to help them refine their alignment, deepen their stretch, or experience a pose more fully.

Teaching Methodology

Being an effective yoga teacher is like being a good waiter. You direct the students to take their seats, describe to them what is on the menu, possibly modifying a dish or two to better serve them, and occasionally check back to see how things are going. Each course of the meal needs to be brought out and presented, and then the waiter allows the guests to enjoy it. Using effective and clear language, the students you are teaching must be instructed in and out of the basic form of every posture you teach.

  • Teaching is an art and it can be developed through practice and knowledge.
  • Teach with sincerity and compassion for yourself first and then your students will benefit as well.
  • Teach from the heart, never from the mind.
  • Respect that divine energy has honored you to be a teacher to help people.
  • Changing peoples’ lives into positivity by teaching them yoga and meditation; as a teacher, your inner journey and happiness will grow.
  • Respect the students, be friendly and professional but at the same time strong inside not to entertain any negativity while teaching yoga.
  • Surrender to life and divine energy; you will feel guided by the unknown force.
  • Enjoy teaching mindfully with joy and happiness.
  • Be present, aware, and energetic all the time during or after the class.
  • Be regular in your own self-practice of yoga and meditation; you owe it to yourself and your students.
  • Be aware and sensitive to students’ poses, alignment, breathing patterns, and group energy, and allow the teaching and response to happen accordingly and spontaneously.
  • Pay equal attention to the students but focus more attention on beginners until they catch up with the regular class.
  • Welcome the students – greeting the students makes them comfortable and feel welcomed.
  • Start the class on time and end on time. This honors the student since most students have limited time and have sacrificed to get to the class.
  • Always ask if the students have any physical problems or injuries.
  • Start the class with some chanting, prayer, or a short meditation.
  • The voice of the teacher should be audible to everyone and the volume should be according to the group.
  • Give clear instructions.
  • Make adjustments verbally and physically.
  • Appreciate and motivate the students during the class.
  • Move around the class effectively to see all the students and to check their alignment.
