TRANSFORMATION

KRI Level 2 Teacher Training Modules

Transformation is about the deepening of your own core capacities, character and consciousness. In this stage we will share a lot of new content in terms of information, techniques and themes, but the essence of this stage is about your establishing the ability to use your applied mind, applied intelligence and applied awareness.

Level Two is open to KRI Level One Certified Instructors. The 300-hour certification program consists of five 62-hour modules and fulfills the Yoga Alliance 500-hour requirement. Graduates of Level Two earn the title of Certified Practitioner of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®. Before your Level One certification you thirsted for a deeper understanding of the yoga. In Level Two you acknowledge on a heart level that it is no longer sufficient for you to just have the skills and fulfill the basic duties of an instructor. To reach the next level means assessing where you are in your commitment to authenticity, and offering yourself up to transformation.

Yoga West is committed to offering at least one of the modules per year, so that our Level One Teachers can move forward in their Level Two studies, taking these profound courses with their peer community of teachers, and in the high calibre that is the hallmark of Yoga West's Aquarian Teacher Training Program.

Level 2 Courses offered at Yoga West:

Conscious Communication (January 2012)
Mind and Meditation (January 2013 – plan ahead!)
Authentic Relationships
Vitality and Strees
Lifesycles and Lifestyles

CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION

Saturday, Sunday, Monday, January 28, 29, 30, 2012

and Friday, Saturday, Sunday, February 3, 4, 5, 2012

This particular module addresses our projection and effectiveness; exploring the basic concepts behind conscious communication through discussions, interactive exercises and reading. We will practice meditations and exercises to increase our sensitivity and we will engage in constructive self-examination. It will be intense, it will be challenging and it will certainly be rewarding.

Use your communication skills to create a common notion with others—even those you disagree with. Communicate your whole Self, with awareness, kindness and fearlessness. Listen—don’t just hear. Elevate your communication to the power of creative dialogue so that life becomes a flow, in harmony with the Infinite.

Key Topics

Meditative and Intuitive Speaking.
The Art of Deep Listening: Sunni-ai.
Applied Consciousness and Mastery of the Fifth Chakra.
Shadow and Light: Letting Your Presence Speak.
Communicating with the Infinite – Prayer, Grace and the Flow of Spirit.

Course Affirmation

I have integrated conscious communication into all areas of my life. My communication uplifts others to their own consciousness. I represent my whole self directly.

I speak each word consciously, understanding that it is witnessed by my own consciousness and supported by the Cosmos.

I create harmonious communication even with those who oppose me. I am heard in the hearts of others as I hear and qualify my own words as I speak.

Program includes:

Full days of instruction with senior teachers.
Powerful meditations, yoga, DVD classes with Yogi Bhajan, and small group work with your peer teachers.
90-day study program with meditations and small group work.
Certification in the Conscious Communication module (one of the five modules that comprise certification in Level Two.)

Daily video classes and meditations with Yogi Bhajan

What do we mean by communication? The definition of communication is a practice that creates a “common notion” with another person or object of attention...

At what level do we communicate? Did you ever learn that your existence is your communication? Your projection is your relationship? You are the power? But life is often sour. There is no happiness, because your communication has no purpose of Self. You communicate to impress someone. You don’t communicate to relate you to someone. That’s why you suffer now. You don’t communicate consciously.

—Yogi Bhajan
