General information

Thank you for your interest in the School of Kundalini Yoga Instructors course, which is licensed by KRI, the Kundalini Research Institute of the USA, as Level 1 of the international Teacher Training Programme approved by Yogi Bhajan, recognised by the Yoga Alliance and which leads to membership of the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association.

Due to the increasing demand for our courses and retreats, ISKY now also offer programmes in Germany, Ireland, Israel, Sweden Malaysia and will begin courses in several other countries over the next year. Please contact us for further details.

Since 1996 we have offered an annual cycle of what has proved to be a very successful and rewarding course programme. Rewarding for those individuals who have chosen to explore their own self-awareness through this ancient technology and successful in that SKY continues to offer the oldest Kundalini Yoga training course in the UK and now also offers ever more programs across the world as i-SKY.net, each year empowering more and more competent teachers many of whom never expected to teach at all!

Every year several students join us with little awareness of their intention to teach but with a genuine motivation to deepen their understanding of the process that Kundalini Yoga has sparked within them. Every year several of those students discover themselves, in the realisation that we are all teachers in the making.

The course itself has developed over the years and is now offered in over 20 different countries. The definitive 220 hour syllabus is now supported by two excellent course manuals and enjoys international recognition by the Yoga Alliance. The course is largely experiential but if you thought that this course would be nothing but yoga postures you are in for a most informative surprise.

The next opportunities to join our main UK course will be in October and November 2010. This course comprises 9 residential weekend units, 7 running from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon and 2 running from Friday evening to Bank Holiday Monday afternoon. The course must be completed within a 2 year period (i.e. any unit missed in the first series must be attended in the second series). As well as the core group of new students, who will progress through the course with you, you will subsequently meet experienced students from the previous year completing their attendance requirement. We find this approach broadens the participant’s experience as well as allowing some flexibility for those juggling other time commitments.

Your tutors this year are all internationally experienced teachers resident in Europe with a wealth of diverse knowledge to enrich the exciting syllabus that has been developed by KRI. Each Part is presented by one of the SKY Trainers supported by a member of our SKY Teacher in Training team, whom you will have met on your first weekend, this ensures continuity as well as a variety of presentation styles.

A Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association was established in the UK for the first time in 2000 and all UK students are now registered with KYTA UK from Part 3 with UK insurance available from Part 6 of the SKY course. International students will be registered with IKYTA the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association upon completion.

We firmly believe that experience is the key to understanding, so you have several opportunities to experience this course before committing yourself to registering as a student. Firstly our annual yoga retreat in May offers the opportunity to meet with past and present students and teachers and get a flavour of the SKY style. Secondly you can attend Part 1 &/or 2 of the course, with no obligation to continue the course further unless you then choose to do so. Please note though, that the demand for places on our courses now means that only those who register for the course in advance will be assured of a place. Several places are now reserved a year in advance and some late applicants may be disappointed.

The final part of the course encompasses a yoga retreat which is open to all students of Kundalini Yoga and which affords instruction opportunities for our graduating students.
