Aquarian Teacher Training
Kundalini Yoga Level 1
Brighton, UK Programme
(part of the ANS School)
This Level 1 Training Programme is for everyone who has been touched in some way by Kundalini Yoga, whether you would like to become a certified Teacher and formally teach, or simply deepen your personal experience of Kundalini Yoga.
Yogi Bhajan likened the study of yoga to an adventure in consciousness. and during the training we will explore the nature of consciousness.
The course provides you with tools to build a successful and rewarding life, together with comprehensive training in both theory and techniques of Kundalini Yoga. You will learn a lot about yourself and make some lifelong friendships along the way as you develop a strong practise within a supported structure.
You will gain the knowledge and self-confidence to make a difference in yourself and the world around you.
