200h Kundalini-Tantra Yoga Teacher Training in Ohrid

Do you dream of diving deep into the world of kundalini yoga? Kundalini is often considered a more elusive style of yoga, surrounded by a veil of mystic. While kundalini yoga certainly is a powerful practice that can transform the practitioner completely, it is not nearly as mystical as you may think. Kundalini yoga is a fascinating and deep practice that we know you will fall in love with. If you allow it, kundalini yoga will transform you completely.

From royalty and nobility to the masses

Kundalini yoga has gained popularity in the last few years, however, this practice has been around for a very long time. This ancient yoga practice focuses on pranayama (breath) and asana (the physical posture) as well as meditation, mudras and chanting. Kundalini was brought to the western world in the late 60s by Yogi Bhajan. The word kundalini derives from the Sanskrit word ‘kundal’ which translates to ‘coiled energy’.

Although Yogi Bhajan is most often associated with kundalini yoga in the western world, kundalini is an ancient tantra yoga practice. And that’s what we will be focusing on in this 200-hour kundalini yoga teacher training. The teachings of kundalini were actually kept secret for a very long time, and kundalini was only taught to royalty and nobility for thousands of years. 

Explore the depth of your cosmic consciousness with kundalini yoga

Let’s dive a little bit deeper into tantra kundalini - just so you can get a little taste of what we will uncover in this training. According to tantra, the entire universe is a manifestation of pure consciousness. This pure consciousness is divided into two aspects, poles or opposites, and one cannot exist without the other. One is Shiva and the other is Shakti. If you are familiar with the theory of Yin and Yang you will notice that there are some similarities between the two.

Shiva is the masculine energy while shakti is the feminine energy. Shiva has the power to be, but does not have the power to change or become. It’s static. Shakti, on the other hand, is creative, dynamic, energetic. Shakti is the Great Mother from which all is born. 

In tantra it is believed that every single human being is a miniature universe. This essentially means that everything that is found in the universe or the cosmos can be found within us. Therefore the principles that apply to the universe, also apply to us according to the philosophy of tantra. This means human beings have both Shiva and Shakti in them. In humans Shakti is called kundalini.

You may have heard that the kundalini energy is resting at the base of the spinal cord. In tantra kundalini yoga we are trying to awaken this cosmic energy and make it ascend through the chakras. Once the kundalini has risen all the way to above the crown of the head (the sahasrara chakra), the energy will unite with shiva.

You may have seen the kundalini energy illustrated as a resting serpent that is curled three and a half times at the base of the spinal cord.
