Meet Our Instructors

Don't let the professional names below intimidate you. Many kundalini yoga teachers get spiritual names from the kundalini yoga lineage, and they use them professionally and sometimes even adopt them as their legal names. While we'd like to say they are "normal" people, really they aren't. It takes some special courage to take on a spiritual name,.
The meaning of their names are considered to be their destiny, or life's purpose. As people call them by their name, it is meant to be a reminder of who they are. ​

NOTE: Kundalini Yoga and Meditation is overseen and credentialed by the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) whose teachers and members predominantly belong to the International Kundalini Yoga Association (IKYTA), which supports the integrity, continuation and and regulations of its teacher members. Their teacher training requirements go beyond the minimum 200-hour requirements as set forth by Yoga Alliance (whose memberships allow the designation of RYT or E-RYT). Because memberships would be duplicative, and they are already being supported through IKYTA, not all kundalini yoga teachers credentialed through KRI choose to register with YA. Rest assured that our KRI certified teachers have all exceeded the requirements set forth by Yoga Alliance.
