Kundalini Kriya Yoga & Meditation Course in Rishikesh, India

Kundalini Kriya Yoga Meditation Course in Rishikesh, India

Deepen your inner awareness by practicing the tantric art of Kundalini kriya

Our Kundalini Kriya & Meditation Course, held at the Vedic Yoga Retreat Centre in Rishikesh, India, introduces participants to Kundalini Yoga.

This practice is based on the teachings of Tantra, which come from the wisdom of the Himalayan tradition, and is believed to be the direct path to developing your inner awareness. It focuses on connecting you with your inner divine energy, known as shakti, through the practices of Kundalini kriya. These practices aim to awaken your awareness to the Source of life, which already exists within you.

In Module 1, participants learn foundational practices based on seven sets of kriyas, and as these practices deepen over time, students find that they promote stress relief and detoxification of the body.

The key to awakening Kundalini lies in integrating yoga and kriya practices into daily life and being aware of one’s inner consciousness.

It’s important to understand that success comes only from consistent practice which focuses on the process rather than the outcome. This involves ongoing awareness of life’s realities and learning the art of adjusting from moment to moment.

No previous experience in yoga is required.
This Kundalini couse course is suitable for anyone who is open-hearted and open-minded, and seeking to develop a foundation in yoga, and then expanding their awareness to a greater depth of their experience of yoga – firstly through their personal practice, and then through the potential of sharing with others.
You need to be aware that this yoga course requires discipline, courage, determination, dedication, and a commitment to both the 7-week training program, and the desire to implement the teachings into your everyday life.
You will not be asked to believe anything, only to consider and participate in all the ancient methods that have been tested through time; but if you expect this to be simply an exercise program which has just changed its name to yoga, then choosing the Vedic Yoga Centre for your studies may not be the right decision for you. Traditionally, the Himalayan teachings developed in a way so that a student’s journey was based on his or her genuine experience rather than just believing what they were told.
You should apply for this Kundalini course only if you are ready and willing to experience the teachings as offered in the traditional way, and only if you are seeking to learn about yoga as a holistic science.
You should be genuine in your desire for adapting and adjusting your existing understanding of the yogic journey.
