Frequently Asked Questions
?
What is a typical day on a kundalini yoga teacher training?
Kundalini yoga teacher training days open with a group sadhana between 3.30 and 4.30am, built from chanting, one kriya and a long seated meditation before breakfast. Mid-morning covers philosophy, anatomy and teaching methodology. Afternoons run practicum and a second kriya, ending near 9pm.
?
Do you need to be flexible for kundalini yoga teacher training?
Kundalini yoga teacher training makes lower flexibility demands than ashtanga or iyengar, because kriyas use repetitive simple movements, breath of fire and held meditative postures. Stamina counts for more than range. Sitting comfortably for 30 minutes is the useful benchmark.
?
How is kundalini yoga teacher training different from hatha?
Kundalini yoga teacher training centres on set kriyas, mantra and breathwork delivered to fixed timings, while hatha training builds classes from individually taught postures. Kundalini classes follow a script. Hatha teachers sequence their own, which changes the assessment.
