Kundalin Yoga Teacher Training has changed my life!  I was newly sober and looking for a connection to a power greater than myself.  Through this training I have found a way to connect to the infinite power available to us all and let the flow of life navigate my direction rather than pushing to make things happen.  I'm now less llikely to react in destructive ways, I have more patience and don't attach to people's actions as often.  I've also developed a heightened awareness.  I love myself and my faults and understand that everything is as it is.  I was so lucky to have support from fellow students throughout the training.  When I was struggling I know I could reach out.  Barb (Siri Kirin) was great and I truly appreciate everything she has done to make this training happen.

There are no words to describe how much the Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training has changed my life, my interactions and relationships.  I'm a better mother and spouse...every aspect of my life has changed including my career.  I have overcome fear, the deep down, scared out of my mind fear.  Before the training, the fear could be paralyzing, limiting me from fully experiencing my life.  I'm no longer scared of the future, I welcome each day as a new experience.  The bonds we formed as students is incredible.  I know I can share anything with them and call on them.  The teacher's support was amazing!  They were always there to answer questions and for guidance.

I've learned so much about discipline and the importance of a daily practice.  I've worked through a huge block from childhood.  I have a new posture, lost weight and am physically stronger!  All of my teachers knew about my childhood block and each supported me in different ways; their understanding and encouragement was so helpful...just a few words from me without me having to explain things was fabulous!

I've always avoided spiritual endeavors because I've experienced negative things around religion, but the Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training has allowed me a spiritual path without the need for 'religion'.   I've deepened my meditation practice, I've softened my heart to a new level of empathy and I've found a deep love for Kundalini Yoga.  I've become physically stronger, more flexible and have better endurance.  Being in the helping profession, I set this time aside for my own growth.  The teachers have been exceptional!  They made themselves available and easy to talk to.  Kartar Singh Khalsa has set a standard that I hope to measure up to someday.  He is so good as a teacher; provoking yet compassionate.  Siri Kirin (Barb) is a true light!  She is always ready to help and encourage.  I've never seen her without a smile.  She epitomizes grace.

I've felt lost for many, many years.  The Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training has brought light back to my life stronger than I ever felt.  In a way, I feel I am finally home and know where to go and go back to.  It showed me how to live this life and what is after.  It has been the most enriching and amazing experience.  I'm now able to accept other's love and love myself; to be authentic and face challenges rather than go into hiding.  Everyone gave me the most genuine support and love.  I felt safe and accepted.
