January 19, 2021 – Trainer Update

Welcome video: How we refer to our practice

Click on the “CC” at the bottom of the video to see subtitles in various languages. 


Updated Level One, Level Two and 21 Stages Contracts

Including the recent policy changes approved by TTEC and COMPLETELY reformatted to make them easier to read (hopefully). They also include, previously approved policy changes.  If you’d like to review it outside of your portal, you can read the new templates here:

Level One new contract format

Level Two new contract format

21 Stages of Meditation new contract format


Anti-Harassment Training

The Office of Ethics and Professional Standards (EPS) has created an online Anti-harassment training for Kundalini Yogis.  This is rolling out soon – as a requirement for English speaking trainers and to be included in the curriculum of all English- Level One Programs.   As soon as it is translated, it will be available in more languages-hopefully by the end of 2021.  This is an important step towards ensuring that every Kundalini Yoga class is safe for all students to practice, and keeping KRI trainings well ahead of the rest of the yoga world!


Minimum Time Limit on Level 2 Completion

Reminder to trainers and students – there is a minimum of 2 years to complete all 5 Level 2 modules.  It is important to give students time to integrate the transformation that each module initiates into their lives.  Maybe with the ease of online courses, this is being overlooked.  You can read the whole policy about Level 2 certification, which can also be found in the Level 2 Administrative Documents Page of the Trainer support website.

  • New Level One Certification Requirements – These new requirements demonstrated that the inclusive process of decision making works.  TTEC has finalized a new policy regarding the previous requirements to show Yogi Bhajan videos, read the Master’s Touch book, and attend a White Tantric Yoga Course.  Please read this new policy with the changes that were approved by a TTEC vote in your language here, and email [email protected] if you have any questions.
  • Honoring Past Experience – Supporting admission and movement in the Academy –  With the growth of the Aquarian Trainer Academy, people are applying to the Academy from all walks of life and in all stages of life.  Some applicants have had years of relevant professional experience in other fields and/or have been teaching Kundalini Yoga for decades. They may have also been participating as Guest Teachers in Level One programs.  Because we focus on trainer qualifications, not on how they were accomplished, prior experience is valued for both applicants and those moving through the academy. Read more details about how this works here. As always, email Amrit Singh if you have any questions about how to apply this approach in your specific circumstances.
  • The Aquarian Teacher 2020 edition now available as a physical manual. Trainers in North America can get physical copies needed for their training from the Trainer Store, here. Sat Nam Europe is the KRI publishing partner distributing the AT English in Europe, and NKYTANZ is the one in Australia. 
  • Digital versions of Level Two manuals now available in German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian – You can now buy the access codes for your L2 training programs from the existing KRI distributor in your country. You can also write an email to KRI’s translation coordinator, HariShabad Kaur, and request your personal, courtesy access code.
  • The Aquarian Teacher (5th edition) is available digitally in the Trainer Store. While we work with the translation teams to get the 6th edition (2020) also available in other languages, our KRI Library on the VitalSource platform has been recently updated with the Chinese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian versions.

relationship with forgiveness towards yourself, towards others and to make
adjustments that pave the way for releasing the old accounts to lighten the
load on your magnetic field.

together her name means ‘the one who shines the light of her inner soul.’

  • New Interim Aquarian Teacher – will be released in English on VitalSource today Sept 1st.  It will be available in two formats – one with Yogi Bhajan’s picture and name on the cover, and one without.  The existing manual can still be used as well for those trainers that would prefer that. 

  • Sept TTEC meetings – Like the Global Summit, there will be two “tracks” or daily time slots available, with each covering the same agenda items (so the expectation is that you will only attend one of the two tracks).  Please register here for the time slot that works for you on Sept 20, 21, and 22.  There is the possibility that we may need to go one hour longer at least on Day 1, but the expected times are:
    • Track 1 will be 8:00-12:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) and 
    • Track 2 will be 17:00 – 21:00 CEST

  • Certification Committee is looking for a new member – a description of what this committee does (currently – knowing that it may change), the eligibility requirements, and the selection procedure are outlined in this document.  If you meet the qualifications and are interested, please email Amrit Singh.

  • The KRI Board of Directors is looking for new members – The intention is to strengthen and balance Board representation broadly across the globe and to include voices that represent the views and perspectives of our diverse community.  To that end, we invite you to self-nominate and/or recommend qualified candidates who are interested in re-inventing KRI to meet the needs, the consciousness, and the heart of this New Age.  They do NOT need to be teacher trainers.  If you are interested in self-nominating or know of a person who would love to serve the teachings and technologies of Kundalini Yoga, please send a request for more information and an application to Gurusahay Singh Khalsa.
