Discover the Roots of Hatha and Kundalini
In contemporary times, Kundalini Yoga is often associated with the Sikh tradition of Bhajan, yet its scope is far broader. Kundalini Yoga emerges as a profound tantric science, initially veiled within sacred traditions before intertwining with the practices of Hatha Yoga.
Throughout this training, you will explore not only practice but also ancient tantric scriptures that remain largely undiscovered, along with their mysticism, spirit, and transformative power. Like the Vijnana Bahrava Tantra and the Siva Sutras.
Practice of Yoga
We place a strong emphasis on practical application. It is important to us that you gain confidence in teaching yoga, so every student gets the chance to create and teach at least two classes and receive detailed feedback. We will study 43 classical Hatha Yoga asanas, the 3 famous Pavanmuktasana series, the Sushma Vyayam, as well as important techniques of Kundalini Yoga.
All in all, you will be equipped to create the beauty of yoga, discover your own inner powers, and share this magic with others.
Empowering Training

Depth and scope of teaching
This training is dedicated to achieving the pinnacle of quality and depth in yoga instruction, guiding you on a profound exploration of the foundations of Hatha and Kundalini Yoga. We delve into the essence of Kundalini Yoga as an intrinsic element of the Hatha Yoga tradition, tracing its lineage back to the ancient Nath yogis, including Dhirendra Brahmachari, and the tantric teachings of Laksmanjoo. This course offers not just an introduction to a transformative practice but invites you on a journey to uncover the hidden roots of Yoga within the tantric traditions.

What is special about this training?
Deep practice is the foundation upon which this yoga rests, but unlike other training, Matsya Yoga will still take a closer look at the philosophical and spiritual source of yoga. In this manner, you will not only discover the traditional texts of yoga, but you will also have a closer look into the root tantras of the Kundalini Yoga tradition, these texts are surprisingly unknown today.
Clemens is truly excited to share its secrets with all true seekers. In his opinion, it is of uttermost importance to ground your way into practice with firm knowledge about the traditions. This knowledge will give every graduate of this school the strength to continue his own journey firmly and safely.
This training follows a long tradition of yoga going back to Satyananda and the tantric lineage of Laksmanjoo. This training incorporates both the beauty and power of Hatha Yoga, as well as the energy and passion of Kundalini. The essence of this teaching is simply your own heart – your most important teacher.
