KRI’S NEW COMMUNICATION STRATEGY
KRI has recently brought in a new marketing team. Over the next few months, you’ll start to see changes in how we present ourselves publicly—including a new visual identity, updates to our social media and website, and shifts in our messaging. These changes are part of a broader rebranding effort to stay aligned with the times and to evolve how we communicate and connect with our global community.
ATA TRAINER LICENSE RENEWAL HAS STARTED!
We have joined together in the collective mission of the Aquarian Trainer Academy to train new generations of Aquarian Teachers in Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Being part of a long-standing, conscious community of over 550 teacher trainers from 47 countries, benefits each of us and expands our impact. It affords us the opportunity to learn from one another, grow spiritually, and deepen our vision of making the benefits and practice of Kundalini Yoga accessible to all people from all backgrounds. Together we are stronger.

NEW ATA TRAINER PORTAL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!
We want to update you on an important change: KRI is moving all data from the current Trainer Portal into a new platform — the ATA Trainer Portal on ZOHO CRM. This portal holds records for all KRI programs and students who’ve gone through a Teacher Training course. You already use it for things like ATA applications, contract submission, and soon you’ll start using the new version for all your ATA and administrative needs.
We’re currently in the middle of migrating ALL RECORDS — people and programs— into the new system. This means we’re in a bit of a “bridge” phase. Here’s the key point: Please DO NOT enter any student lists into the old portal! The updated templates of contact lists are already available to all program administrators: L1 program, L2 program, and 21 Stages program
