Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training 2027 IN PERSON AND ONLINE WORLDWIDE

Level One Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training

January–August 2027 | Soul Body Ojai

In person and Online Worldwide

Deepen Your Practice. Expand Your Understanding. Discover Your Capacity to Teach.

Join us at Soul Body Ojai for a nine-weekend journey into the transformational practice and teachings of Kundalini Yoga.

This Level One Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is designed not only for those who feel called to become teachers, but also for anyone who wants to deepen, refresh, or renew their personal practice.

Whether you are stepping onto the teaching path for the first time, returning to a practice that has been meaningful to you, or simply curious to explore Kundalini Yoga at a deeper level, this training offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in the technology, philosophy, experience, and community of the practice.

A Welcoming, Non-Dogmatic Approach

Our approach to yoga is non-dogmatic, inclusive, and experiential.

We honor the legacy of the teachers and traditions that have carried these practices forward while remaining informed by contemporary understanding and responsible teaching practices.

Rather than asking you to adopt a particular belief system, we invite you to experience the practices for yourself—to explore, question, observe, and discover what is meaningful and useful in your own life.

This is yoga that welcomes people as they are.

All bodies, backgrounds, experiences, ages, and levels of practice are invited.

You don’t have to fit a particular idea of what a yogi or teacher “should” look like.

If you have an interest in yoga and a willingness to explore, there is a place for you here.

 

More Than Teacher Training

You don’t have to know that you want to teach.

You may simply feel called to go deeper.

Teacher training can be a powerful container for refining your own practice, expanding your understanding of the body and mind, reconnecting with your purpose, and developing a deeper relationship with the teachings.

And if, along the way, you discover that you do want to share these practices with others, you’ll have the foundation to begin that journey.

Over nine weekends, we’ll explore the foundations of Kundalini Yoga through asana, pranayama, meditation, mantra, kriya, anatomy, yogic philosophy, and the art of teaching.

This is an experiential training. We learn by practicing, observing, questioning, sharing, and integrating.

 

What We’ll Explore

Throughout the training, we will explore:

• Kundalini Yoga kriyas and foundational practices
• Meditation and mantra
• Pranayama and breath awareness
• Yogic philosophy and the foundations of the Kundalini tradition
• Functional anatomy and the experience of the body in practice
• The relationship between breath, movement, meditation, and awareness
• The principles and practice of teaching
• Developing your authentic voice as a teacher
• Creating and presenting Kundalini Yoga classes
• Building confidence in guiding individuals and groups
• Deepening your own personal sadhana

Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the teachings in your own body and life.

Who is this for?

Aspiring Teachers

For those who feel called to share Kundalini Yoga with others and want a comprehensive foundation from which to begin.

Experienced Teachers

For yoga teachers who want to deepen, refresh, or expand their understanding of Kundalini Yoga and its practices.

Dedicated Practitioners

For those who aren’t necessarily planning to teach but want to immerse themselves in the teachings and deepen their personal practice.

Curious Seekers

For anyone who feels drawn to explore yoga more deeply and discover what becomes possible through sustained practice.

You don’t need to have your future figured out before you begin.

You simply need a willingness to practice, learn, explore, and experience.

 

A Journey Into Your Practice

There is a point where simply attending classes can begin to open deeper questions:

What is underneath this practice?

How does it work?

Why does it affect me the way it does?

How can I bring these teachings more fully into my life?

Teacher training gives you the opportunity to explore those questions.

Over these months together, we’ll create a community where learning is not simply intellectual.

It is embodied.

We practice.

We listen.

We discover.

We teach.

We learn from one another.

And we allow the teachings to become something we can actually live.

Whether you ultimately teach one class, teach for decades, or simply deepen your own relationship with Kundalini Yoga, this training is an invitation to meet the practice more fully.

Come deepen your practice.

Come discover your voice.

Come explore yoga in a community that welcomes you exactly as you are.

Come see what becomes possible when you commit to the journey.

We’d love to practice with you.
