Their individual expression, humor, aspect of approach to Kundalini as well as their common capacity for service, love and the standard they hold for the Kundalini Yoga teachings make them truly an exquisite kaleidoscope of light to experience.

WHY TAKE KUNDALINI YOGA TEACHER’S TRAINING?

The simple and basic answer is; To discover our unlimited potential.

Yogi Bhajan has said that “The Age of Aquarius is on our head whether we feel, know, understand or not. Past is going to be obsolete, and teachers of the Age of Aquarius are going to help humanity.”

We can change the planet with a simple step of walking into the light of our own consciousness and merging. Nelson Mandela relates in a speech so well “As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same”.

It is a re-occurring story with all journeyer’s of kundalini yoga. After a while people begin to comment “What did you do to your face?”, “You look younger”!, “There seems to be a light around you”.  “Wow! You are shinning”. Being in our light is not just a metaphor but a very tangible experience that is visible by others.  The basic units or the building blocks of what we are made up of are no longer solid units as was thought by the scientists in the past, but “Photons” according to the findings of quantum physics. Photons are light and information. Looked at from this angle, change is not only possible, but very accessible and limitless!

WHAT IS THE AQUARIAN AGE AND THE 2012?

By - HARIJIWAN SINGH;  Senior Kundalini Yoga Teacher at Golden Bridge, Los Angeles

“Most of the world’s religions and mythologies point toward the year 2012 as a major turning point in our planet’s history. We are in a time called “between the worlds,” the countdown years to a New Age. Those famous seers of time, the Mayans, end their calendar in 2012. It is the time when our solar system and all its planets enter what is called the Photon Belt. Photons are sources of light, similar to thought, they occupy no volume, have no mass. Photons are being emitted from the center of our galaxy. As a solar system we are entering a light realm, a higher frequency purification and cleansing zone. And as our planet moves through this photonic energy band this highly ionized, light photonic energy has severe consequences for any individual who is toxic with negativity and darkness. The planet enters this space around every 13000 or so years. Our sun’s energy is affected, as are the electrons that comprise everything around us. This change in galactic light affects our DNA, which will receive and transmit differently. It is no exaggeration to say that all we have known is to be different. We are literally moving into a different time/space continuum. And this change requires different ways of living. Different ways of being. Different ways of relating”.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

-You will learn how to function within this changing global energy field.

-You will strengthen and balance your organs.

-You will strengthen and balance your systems. (Glandular system, digestive system, nervous system, skeletal alignment).

- You will change habitual thinking of the subconscious mind, drop old patterns.

-You will learn how to check daily for the inner balance of elimination, absorption, rest and activity. You will have an experiential understanding of the interrelationships of mind, body, emotions and spirit.

-This training will give you an awareness of the sensitivity needed to enter into this New Age.

WHAT IS IT TO BE A TEACHER? By Harijiwan – Senior Kundalini Yoga Teacher at Golden Bridge, Los Angeles

The first student you will have as a teacher is yourself. And as the light of one candle can light thousands of candles, you must first illuminate your own consciousness. Awaken your own awareness. Then you can help. You can serve. You can contribute. You can do your part to help humanity enter this New Age and make the dream of world peace a reality.

LASTLY:

If you would like to read more about the 2012 you can check out writers such as Gregg Braden, Peter Russell, Joanna R. Macy Ph.D, Jose Arguelles PH.D amongst many other writers. But one thing they all point out is that a period of great change is at heart;

Whether it is because of 2012 or collective choices we have made as a humanity let’s get ready for these amazing times of change!

Let me introduce the TEAM of Teachers:

Senior Teachers Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa and Gurushabd Singh:

The leading Kundalini Yoga teachers in the US and the owners of the center named “Golden Bridge”. Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa is also the writer of; “The Eight Human Talents” and “Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful” which has served to be an indispensable guide for pregnant women. 

Gurmukh’s  Kaur Khalsa’s own search as a young girl for more meaning in her life, had her travel and live in Hawaii as a hippie. That was followed by a decision to submit to a nunnery in Japan, but on her way there she found her true path with Yogi Bhajan and Kundalini Yoga more than 30 years ago.  After her in depth study with the master, she was blessed with a new name “Gurmukh” which means “One who helps people across the world ocean”.  After some time she began teaching in Los Angeles and was quickly discovered and hijacked by the Hollywood stars but left her private classes because of her dedication and commitment to carrying the teachings to a wider group of people by opening Golden Bridge in 1999.  Today she lives the destiny of her name as she constantly flies over the oceans, teaching in Japan, Europe, Russia, Turkey, South Africa and many more countries, uplifting people all over the world to a higher destiny. Her vibration and voice definitely carry one beyond all boundaries as one sits in front of her, eyes closed and drifting into a cocoon of “Oneness”. There is a certain knowing one touches in her classes, that no matter who you are, how it has been, what you have done or not done, it is all going to be OK! In fact it is going to be fantastic! 

Gurushabd:  The husband of Gurmukh an the creator of  Golden Bridge, Gurushabd is a master of mantra. He can talk about the science of the sound current for 15 hours and one would just listen saying “Where did the time go”?  “Isn’t there more”? His name means the “The one who teaches through sacred sound” and he is the sound master on all occasions when they travel with Gurmukh both spiritually and technically! His teachings are deep, penetrating, to the point and no beating around the bush! Filled with a backdrop of where the financial world is going, the latest technology and how it will effects our psyche, to sprinkles of deep historical knowledge of yoga through time, space and culture.

Senior Teacher -Mahan Rishi:

Dr. Mahan Rishi is a chriopractor, which means the specialist of skeletal alignment and anatomy. He diagnoses health by looking at the tongue and the pupil of the eye (Iridology). Also he’s a nutritionist. His teacher, Swami Bua, who trained him about nutrition, was alive and 117 years old when I last heard about him. For the last 30 years, Mahan Rishi has explored various modules of healing and can offer one extremely easy to apply, small adjustments in life style that elevate disease.  Working with him during his various returns to Turkey in the last years, I have observed through returning clients of his, that healing is in fact very easy and can be done with how we chose to eat.

But besides his extensive knowledge and practical know how, it really is how he teaches through who he is, that makes him a very exquisite teacher and in many ways a master from my perspective. His ability to just flow with whatever comes together with the peace that he is committed to and that resonates from deep within him, the practical wisdom that he offers in every conversation is what makes him unique and becomes a reminder of what is possible with these teachings.  He owns a Kundalini Yoga center in Philadelphia with his wife Nirbhao Kaur and he continues teaching in “Golden Bridge” in New York.

Tej:

Tej is the walking library of Yogi Bhajan. Editor, transcriber, compiler she is the reason we can hold a lot of the Kundalini knowledge, in our hands in the form of books. Her knowledge of Yogi Bhajan and what he taught is vast and she is a recognized authority in the field of Kundalini Yoga. Tej holds a Master’s Degree in psychological counseling.

In her classes a certain sensitivity and a deep intuition come through with firmness and discipline. She is very encouraging of what anyone sitting in front of her can do in life! She will tune into a person’s eyes and holding that gaze, mentally say “I know you can do it” and if it is you, you can find yourself nodding in agreement. Her classes download an incredible energy into the room so that when leaving the class you feel like you are swimming rather than walking out. Tej has a signature laughter which she bursts into periodically while teaching and the whole room roars following her. Tej is a precious teacher at Golden Bridge.

Esra Banguoglu Ogut- Fateh Kaur:

I am a student of Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Gurushabd Singh, Tej Kaur, since 1999. I met Mahan Rishi a little later. Through Kundalini Yoga and my teachers, I was able to overcome drug abuse, deep depression and panic attacks. All this happened in 4 months of starting it and hence I decided to dedicate a big part of my life to these teachings. But the most important awakening for me was to remember what it was like to love myself again. During studying Kundalini Yoga I started connected to many childhood memories and forgotten dreams. As Oscar Wilde says “To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance”.

 In 2002-2003, I received my Kundalini Yoga Teaching certificate at “Golden Bridge”  under the leadership of Gurmukh. Ever since then I have been returning to my country periodically to teach and relate Kundalini Yoga. In 2004 I met the love of my life, Aykut (Ike) and my life-coach Darel Rutherford. Through his guidance we learnt that everything is possible and self discovery can be the most fun self-adventure as we learnt to allow more love, create more abundance and learn to choose happiness together. In 2007 we started life-coaching with my husband and traveling within Turkey and abroad combining life-coaching with Kundalini Yoga.
