This Level 1 Training Programme is for everyone who has been touched in some way by Kundalini Yoga, whether you would like to become a certified Teacher and formally teach, or simply deepen your personal experience of Kundalini Yoga.
The ANS training has an emphasis on the student-teacher relationship, without which, only limited growth is possible. Ishwara is committed to support all trainees, not only through the training but also as you continue on your spiritual journey. If you are ready to challenge yourself, so that you can delve deeply into your being, then this training is for you.
Yogi Bhajan likened the study of yoga to an adventure in consciousness.
The course provides you with tools to build a successful and rewarding life, together with comprehensive training in both theory and techniques of Kundalini Yoga. You will learn a lot about yourself and make some lifelong friendships along the way as you develop a strong practise within a supported structure.
You will gain the knowledge and self-confidence to make a difference in yourself and the world around you.
