Yogi Bhajan likened the study of yoga to an adventure in consciousness. This is where we can gain a fundamental understanding, through experience, that the basic-self is always one with the One - Ek Ong Kar.

The Kundalini Awakening Yoga Teacher Training with Amrit Sarovar in Egypt is designed to facilitate and promote international sharing and development in a loving, supportive environment, that recognises that we are all One.

Students from all parts of the world are welcome to join our retreat-based training on the Red Sea. We are particularly excited to be bringing this powerful technology to Egypt for the first time, to expand the teachings of Yogi Bhajan and touch ever more peoples’ hearts and minds.

The first three modules of the ANS Kundalini Awakening Training take place over three long weekends and will all be based on sacred Sinai, Egypt.

Each training runs from Thursday morning to Sunday evening. Arrival is on Wednesday afternoon and departure on Monday morning. Five nights accommodation and all meals are included in the training: 

We will release dates of our next cycle soon. 

Each Egypt module includes five nights accommodation, and we ask students to arrive the day before the start date, and to rest and remain until the day after closing, to assist with packing up and cleaning the space. 

Guests are welcome to extend their stay either end of their module to allow time for rest and integration of the teachings, or exploration of the Sinai and its coastline. Information on accommodation options and pricing for additional nights is listed below. Bookings can be made via email with or after your registration.

The final intensive week of the course will be held at the ANS international centre, also the home of Karta Singh, at Domaine Le Martinet, in the French Alps.  It is a residential week, and starts 7pm on the Saturday and finishes after the final Sadhana on the following Sunday.

The following topics will be covered during the week:

• Practical Experience of the Yoga of Awareness
• Naad Yoga
• The Elements

The week will also be attended by Kundalini Awakening trainees from other countries, including Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Netherlands and Spain. The week will be taught in English and translated.

All students have two options for completing the exam:

• all students are encouraged to join us for a final closing retreat where we will sit the three-hour exam together, followed by lunch and a weekend of celebration, practice and sharing. This exam is multiple choice and short-answer format. 
• if you are unable to attend this closing weekend, you will need to complete the longer distance exam, and we will give you a month to complete and return this to us in order for your certification to be sent to you as a graduate. This exam is longer essay-style format.

The final dates for these two exams will be confirmed at our final Egypt module in April.

Attendance throughout the whole course is a prerequisite for qualification. Before completion of the course you will be required to:

• pass a written examination
• attend all Teacher Training classes - minimum of 180 contact hours
• teach a class to the required standard
• attend at least 20 Kundalini Yoga classes
• complete at least 40 continuous days of the specified meditations and yoga sets - minimum of 11 minutes each
• attend at least five morning Sadhanas 
• attend one day of a White Tantric Yoga - see below for more information
• complete two acceptable yoga course curricula
• complete of all of the above within 24 months of the start date of your training

It is advised that you attend as many classes in your area as possible before the training - logging them in your Class Attendance Log - but there is no specific preparation to be done prior to arrival at the first module. Throughout the course you will also be given assignments of kriyas and meditations to practice between teaching weekends.  

Another integral part of the course is the ideology of Karma Yoga, also called Seva, which includes sharing the responsibilities of food preparation and cleaning.

Upon qualification you will be registered as an ANS Kundalini Yoga Teacher, allowing you to teach Kundalini Yoga classes to students. You will be eligible to participate in all further ANS continuous education programmes if you wish to continue your studies further.

Sadhana

Sadhana is an integral part of Kundalini Yoga practice, referring to our own personal practice, done either alone or within our communities. Sadhana itself refers to a daily practice, but in Kundalini Yoga it refers specifically to a set of prayers, exercises and mantras given to us by Yogi Bhajan to help us transition into the Aquarian Age. 

It is a beautiful, heart-opening practice which we carry out before and during sunrise, to take advantage of the rising energy of the Universe around us, and is extremely effective in helping us resolve and release past traumas and limiting beliefs which prevent or slow our development and growth.
