Sat Nam! My name is Mukhande Kaur I live and teach in West Cork. I’ve been teaching Kundalini Yoga since 2009 and feel so blessed to have these teachings in my life and honoured to be able to share them with others. I did my first yoga class in 1987 in the Maltings in UCC with a very inspirational man called Séan Ó Lionacháin ,who was in his 70’s and had been a vegetarian most of his life- ahead of his time for cork you might think! After leaving UCC I continued to practice yoga over the years inconsistently trying all sorts of other types of yoga, dance and movement forms.
When I got to my mid 30’s I really wanted to find something that I could really go deeply into, to have a daily practice and so one fateful evening in the summer of 2006 I went along to a gong bath which sounded like a pretty whacky and interesting thing to do. The gong master, Sotantar Singh, was from Spain via California and also a Kundalini Yoga teacher. So the next morning a couple of us (including wonderful Jai Ram Kaur) practiced some Kundalini Yoga. On hearing that I was an Archaeologist Sotantar asked me if I would be his tour guide to some of the sacred sites in Ireland so we spent the next week going to magical places like Uisneach, Slieve na Cailleach (Lough crew), Tara and Poulnabroune doing sound healing and gong baths and lots of Kundalini Yoga. Before returning to California he gave me a set of exercises (called a kryia) to practice and I haven’t stopped since! After a few years of practicing mostly on my own, (as there was no one else practicing Kundalini yoga in West Cork), I attended a few retreats in the Burren Yoga Centre lead by Sotantar Singh, then on his suggestion I signed up for the teacher training course which was happening in Palace Green Co. Limerick, where I discovered a vibrant thriving community of kundalini yogis and yoginis -a new community of soul friends!
The journey through the teacher training course was like receiving mana from heaven and I drank thirstily from the chalice. We were so blessed to have such inspirational teachers Sada Sat Kaur and Sada Sat Singh, who have been so thoroughly immersed in these sacred teachings which have come to us through the incredible man that was Yogi Bhajan!
