Autumn 2011
Real knowledge makes us aware that we are more than how we usually perceive ourselves to be. Through the practise of yoga we calm the mind, sharpen its
functions and gain discernment to recognise the real, to hear the inner word,
to follow the impulses of the heart and the path of truth.
This Teacher Training Program is for those who wish to become a certified yoga teacher but is also suitable for those just wish to deepen their personal experience of Kundalini Yoga. This course gives you a lifelong foundation for a transformative yoga practice.
KRI Level 1
The Aquarian Teacher program offered at Dagsås Yoga Mangalam starting 15rd October 2010 is to the syllabus prescribed by Yogi Bhajan and developed by KRI to exceed the Yoga Alliance 200 hour certification standard. Since 1996 i-sky.net has offered the program world wide, in an inclusive “Aquarian” style; the course is conducted in a residential format to maximise the group experience and the individual students development.
In this 220 hour Level 1 program you can become a Yoga Instructor and gain a deep understanding and experience of the core science of Kundalini Yoga. You will develop the skills to instruct students in Kundalini Yoga kriya and meditation. You will experience the powerful transformational energy of Kundalini Yoga; practice teaching Kundalini Yoga in a practicum setting; participate in regular early morning Sadhana (spiritual practice). Most importantly, you will work on your self and learn how to meet the challenges of life whilst remaining conscious of your true self.
The course includes 180 hours of classroom instruction. The teaching is spread over 8 months and contains 7 modules ranging from 3 – 5 days during which the students live together as a community at the beautiful yoga centre “Dagsås Yoga Mangalam” on the west coast of Sweden.
Between modules the students are required to devote time daily to personal yoga practise.
Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga, arrived in the United States in 1969 with a stated purpose: “I have come to create Teachers, not to gather disciples.” He travelled internationally teaching Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness. In 1969 Yogi Bhajan founded 3HO – the Happy, Healthy, Holy Organization, based on his first principle “Happiness is your birthright.” Through The Aquarian Teacher Program, Yogi Bhajan has trained thousands
of KRI Certified Kundalini Yoga Teachers. In 1994, the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association, (IKYTA), was formed to further spread these priceless teachings through the united efforts of Kundalini Yoga teachers worldwide.
