The upcoming regional Trainer Forums and July Global Trainer Summit will feature conversations around “hot” topics.


Roll out of a new AntiHarassment training

KRI is very excited about this new online training course that will be available soon.  This is an important addition to our commitment to keeping our community safe.  Following best practices, this course will be mandatory for all teacher trainers, and strongly encouraged as an element within each Level One teacher training program.  It will be available in English very shortly, and we hope in Spanish and German by the end of the year.


Distributing the Administration of the ATA

This project, initiated by trainers at last summer’s trainer summit, is beginning with Puranjot Kaur in Brazil.  She will be both serving as the ATA administrator (basically covering Sarb Jit’s job) for all the Brazilian trainers, as well as printing out KRI certificates.  We will be training regional administrators for China and the US/Canada shortly.


“Building Bridges to Enhance our Service”

ATA Global Trainer Summit July 8,9,10,11.  Some bridges are necessary to have the urgent discussions on important topics:  How do we create safety?  How do we discuss the use of the name Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan?  Many of KRI’s changes in directions, curriculum and policies, begin at these Global meetings. There will be only one Summit this year; we don’t want you to miss this time of change, this chance to be part of a construction once again. Please save the dates in your calendar, see details at the bottom of this email.  If you want to help in any way with this event, please let us know through [email protected].

As women, we’re living in very exciting times. Sages predicted that in the Aquarian Age women will lead and be equal to men, and the Sacred Feminine will emerge in our consciousness in all different and creative ways. This shift is happening and as sisters, all women and those who identify as women rise together.
