Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan can be practiced by everybody. Neither physical nor spiritual requirements are necessary. The focus in Kundalini Yoga Kriya practice is the awareness for what is happening in body, mind, and emotions, to accept, let be and let go. Then, the process starts, the effects unfold, and growth and healing happen.

Kundalini Yoga is a technology for self-transformation and personal development.
A systematic enforcement of nervous system and glandular system improves physical, mental, and emotional stability and yields to increased awareness, sensitivity, and vitality. The unleashed energy is called Kundalini. The goal of Kundalini Yoga is the gentle awakening, distribution, and application of this energy in the whole human being.

Meditation cleanses the subconsciousness, yields a serviceful mind, and leads the practitioner into deep experience.

Practicing Kundalini Yoga yields immediately to a state of stillness, balance, and refreshment. You feel relaxed, awakened, centred, and powerful, as if body, mind, and soul just had an uplifting conversation.

Intensive Workshops

Discover Your Sound - The 5th Chakra and the Healing Power of the Voice

Kundalini Yoga Naad Workshop
with Sat Siri Singh

By virtue of its numerology of number 5, our physical body stores our karma, unprocessed experiences and pending challenges. Within the system of the 7 chakras, the throat chakra has the same numerology as the physical body within the system of the 10 bodies, it has the same potential for working the karma and holistic healing. In Kundalini Yoga, the subtle energy channels in the body are called naadis, the flow of prana is described as a sound current. Simple vocal exercises can cleanse the naadis, balance and stimulate all chakras, remove blocks in the throat chakra, and liberate the voice. We will practice Kundalini Yoga kriya, meditation and vocal exercises to regain full volume and vibrancy of our voice and restore the original power of our word. You will feel centred and invigorated in your self.

Shabad Meditation Concert

Shabads from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib in Raagas
with Sat Siri Singh

Bhai Mardana was an old friend and devoted student of Guru Nanak. He accompanied him for many years on almost all his journeys and played the Rabaab to Guru Nanak’s hymns. Sat Siri Singh sings shabads from the sacred scripture Siri Guru Granth Sahib in traditional raagas and plays the Rabaab along. During this meditation concert you can sing along (lyrics in transliteration will be provided) or just immerse yourself in the musical message of some divine hymns and raagas to the sound of an ancient instrument.

"Friend, sing continually the songs of joy, and sorrow and suffering will not afflict you." - Guru Amar Das, Anand Sahib, Siri Guru Granth Sahib

Japji Sahib Weekend Workshop

Gurbani, Naad & Kundalini Yoga
with Sat Siri Singh

Recitation of sacred scriptures has been practiced in all spiritual traditions throughout all ages of human mankind. It is the most sublime way of inner cleansing, devotion and creativity; the supreme preparation of the disciple. By repetition in meditation, sound and intention of the mystic message can penetrate deep into the being, and the seed of the word can blossom and prosper in the soil of the physical body. Individuals as well as communities call on the morphogenetic fields of their spiritual ancestors. "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." (John 1.1)

Japji Sahib, received by Guru Nanak ca 1500 AD, is the opening chapter of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture and songbook of the Sikh Dharma lineage. These hymns have a special distinction among the sacred scriptures, texts and sound of the world: They have been given eternal Guruship, the guidance for the soul to merge into the supreme light. This is the fascinating concept of “Gurbani.” It is said that in the depth of the sound of God’s Name lies the only key to cross the world ocean and find liberation in these dark times of the kaliyug.

During this weekend workshop, we will approach and experience Japji Sahib in various ways: recitation in English translation and original language, singing, discussion for intellectual understanding, personal applications, pronunciation of the original script, vocal exercises, and Kundalini Yoga kriya and meditation.

Testimonials about the Wales Retreat:

"I have recently arrived back from the retreat and I feel great. I always felt touched by the live music. The group was lovely and we all felt like family living together. I have come back having learnt and experienced so many different things. One of the most beautiful gifts I have given to my soul. The food was great and I really felt the difference it made to my body.

One of the highlights for me personally was doing a very unique and fun kriya bare foot on the grass on a sunny day with a breath taking view of the beautiful forest before us. The location is beautiful and peaceful. The animals felt so happy and calm. I felt inspired by the true beauty of nature. We were invited to experience varied fun activities such as connecting with nature and experimenting with sound and vocal training – it was a very heart opening and joyful experience! Sat Sri Singh and Shakta Kaur provided a very loving, gentle, fun and inspiring space for us to learn, grow, have fun and relax. The teachings were priceless. The aromatherapy massage was divine and incredibly relaxing! I would highly recommend the retreat to anyone interested in wanting to experience something inspiring, relaxing and rejuvenating." - Kiran Kaur Sidhu

Kundalini Yoga Yatra to India

"The Joy of Looking for Him"

Sun 3rd - Sun 17th March 2013
with Karta Singh & Sat Siri Singh to India

This yoga pilgrimage is a journey to lose yourself in the experience of the Divine: Immerse yourself in the power of sacred places, be inspired by the seva and worship of true devotees, enjoy the genuine naad of the Shabad, and experience the Guru. We plan to visit the following places: Bangla Sahib & Sis Ganj Sahib (Delhi), Sultanpur Sahib, Goindwal Sahib, Amritsar Golden Temple, Anandpur Sahib. We will visit ashrams of lineages, initiated by the Guru, which have kept up their authentic way of life and service to mankind: Gobind Sadan, Bhaini Sahib (Namdharis), Nirmala Kuteya ashram. Program may be subject to changes. First time India travellers are very much welcome. Some Kundalini Yoga experience is required.

"The Bhakti path winds in a delicate way.
On this path, there is no asking and no not-asking.
The ego simply disappears the moment you touch Him.
And the joy of looking for Him is so immense that you just dive in like a fish in water.
If anyone needs a head, the lover leaps up to offer his." - Kabir
