Kundalini Now

Our Story

Thank you for your interest in the School of Kundalini Yoga Instructors course, which is licensed by KRI, the Kundalini Research Institute of the USA, as Level 1 of the international Teacher Training Programme approved by Yogi Bhajan, recognised by the Yoga Alliance and which leads to membership of the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association. i-SKY is based in the UK but has offered programs in Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Malaysia, Mexico and the USA. Please contact us for details of current and upcoming events and training programs. Since 1996 we have offered an annual cycle in the UK of what has proved to be a very successful and rewarding course programme. Rewarding for those individuals who have chosen to explore their own self-awareness through this ancient technology and successful in that SKY continues to offer the original Kundalini Yoga training course in the UK (4 in 2017) but now also offers ever more programs across the world as i-SKY.net, each year empowering more and more competent teachers - many of whom never expected to teach at all! Every year several students join us with little awareness of their intention to teach but with a genuine motivation to deepen their understanding of the process that Kundalini Yoga has sparked within them. Every year several of those students discover themselves, in the realisation that we are all teachers in the making. The course itself has developed over the years and is now offered in over 50 different countries. The definitive 220 hour syllabus is supported by two excellent course manuals and enjoys international recognition by the Yoga Alliance. Our course is largely experiential but if you thought that this course would be nothing but yoga postures you are in for a most informative surprise. There are opportunities to join our original UK course at Ufton Court, near Reading, Berkshire in October and January each year. Please contact us for the starting dates of other UK programs. Our basic course comprises 10 residential weekend units running from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. The course must be completed within a 2 year period (i.e. any unit missed in the first series must be attended in the second series). As well as the core group of new students, who will progress through the course with you, you will subsequently meet experienced students from the previous year completing their attendance requirement. We find this approach broadens the participant’s experience as well as allowing some flexibility for those juggling other time commitments. Our tutors are all internationally experienced teachers resident in Europe with a wealth of diverse knowledge to enrich the exciting syllabus that has been developed by KRI. Each Part is presented by one of the SKY Trainers supported by members of our SKY Teachers in Training team, whom you will have met on your first weekend, this ensures continuity as well as a variety of presentation styles. A Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association was established in the UK in 2000 and all UK students are encouraged to join. We also offer student teacher insurance to begin teaching publically during the latter stages of the course. International students may register with IKYTA the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association upon completion. We firmly believe that experience is the key to understanding, so we offer several opportunities to experience this course before committing to registering as a student. Firstly our annual yoga retreats in June and over the New Year offer an opportunity to meet with past and present students and teachers and get a flavour of the SKY style. Secondly you can attend Part 1 &/or 2 of the course, with no obligation to continue the course further unless you then choose to do so. Please note though, that the demand for places on our courses now means that only those who register for the course in advance are assured of a place. Several places are now reserved a year in advance and some late applicants may be disappointed. The final part of our course encompasses a yoga retreat which is open to all students of Kundalini Yoga and which affords instruction opportunities for our graduating students.
