Grant winners, upcoming policy vote on how to qualify as a Level 2 trainer, and why KRI is focused on expanding our diversity.
Kundalini Beyond Borders winners
KRI and IKYTA are super excited by this year’s grant winners in our joint Kundalini Beyond Borders program! And this year there are a few trainers receiving these cash awards. Take a look at the programs that were awarded grants and be inspired! Congratulations to them, and a huge thank you to them and to all of you who are working to bring Kundalini Yoga to underserved populations! The world needs these practices, and we are all working together to find creative ways to get it to them.
Amendments to the Level Two trainer pathway
The Professional Development Committee has worked on the feedback from Regional Meetings and has rewritten the proposal. One of the suggestions that most appeared in the conversations was a difficulty to understand the pathway as a whole in the light of the changes. Therefore, we’ve worked to write a new document in the format of a policy – a New L2 Trainer Pathway, so every trainer in the Academy is clear on what they are voting for. If you have questions or need clarification, post on the Sutra Circle related to this Proposal or write to [email protected]. The voting will be open in two weeks.
Trainer Summits
It was great to be together on Zoom with you, having deep and heartfelt conversations regarding our Locals and Globals Communities, and how we (teachers, trainers and institutions) can continue to develop the best possible service. Find in this link the notes from those conversations.
