COURSE CONTENT

ENTRANCE CRITERIA

There are no concrete requirements for entry, however, if the student has little or no experience of Kundalini Yoga then entry will be based on the recommendation of one of the course tutors.

Equal Opportunities Policy: While honouring a policy of non-discrimination on grounds of gender, sexual orientation, religion, age or ethnicity the Karam Kriya School reserves the right to refuse entry to any students on grounds of general unsuitability and to refuse continuation of the course as a consequence of inappropriate or discriminatory behaviour.

CERTIFICATION CRITERIA

Students must satisfy the following criteria to qualify for certification:

Fees:
Full payment of course fees before the residential.

Attendance:
Students must attend all the teaching sessions including the full Ashram Experience or 6 day residential. Exceptional or special circumstances may result in a student completing the course by attendance at future KY teacher training programmes. Attendance at a minimum of 5 sadhanas on the training days. Note: maximum length of training to receive certification is 2 years from the start date – which provides the opportunity to catch up on missed weekends in the first year and to complete course requirements.

White Tantric Yoga:
In addition to the course criteria described below, the student is required to attend or have attended at least one day of White Tantric Yoga (in any country). At the moment, due to the COVID-19 situation there are no White Tantric Yoga Courses being offered anywhere until at least 2022. This requirement will be replaced by attending 5 Rebirthing Kriyas – taught by a certified KRI Teacher Trainer (ask for more info), or a full Meditation day, for instance our regular JAPA Meditation Day

Additional Classes:
Students must record attendance at a minimum of 20 KY classes during the training period, independent of Yoga on the course.

Exam:
Pass a satisfactory grade in the written or home exam.
If one doesn’t pass the written exam, the take home exam will count towards certification. If one also doesn’t pass this, you will be asked to make extra assignments towards certification.

Coursework:

  • Complete a 40 day meditation and keep a journal of the experience and progress
  • Design two separate course curricula

Essential Reading:
The Course Manual and two chapters from “The Master’s Touch” by Yogi Bhajan.
