About Kundalini Yoga & Meditation:
This Ancient Science is well over 40,000 years old. Traditionally it was passed down from Master to Student through word of mouth.
As a form of exercise it strengthens the body using breath, mantra, focus, and stimulates the glands and nervous system for better health and energy. The subconscious is cleared and the brain is balanced.
Kundalini Yoga can keep you young and help you live longer, happier and stress free. Our intuition is refined so in every walk of life, the Higher Self can be turned to, to guide you. Make it part of your life so that you can be the best of who you really are!
Kundalini Yoga and Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga was brought to the west in 1968 by Yogi Bhajan, also referred to as Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji. Born August 26, 1929 to a wealthy family in an area of India today known as Pakistan, he was the eldest son of a very devout family. At birth they recognized the mark of a saint on the bottom of his foot, and he was taken to many holy spots during his first 40 days of life. At age 7, he was sent to study with his Teacher, Sant Hazara Singh, and by 16-1/2 he was declared a Master of Kundalini Yoga – a rare feat, especially for one so young.
Leaving behind a lucrative governmental career, in 1968 he came first to Canada and then to the USA, to answer the call of the yearning hearts of so many who were struggling to find spirituality in the turbulent drug culture of the ‘60’s. Yogi Bhajan broke with the long-held tradition of silence, opening Kundalini Yoga & Meditation as well as White Tantric Yoga (a deeply transformative & healing meditative practice) to the public. Soon Kundalini yoga centers began springing up across the United States and then throughout the world. For the next 35 years, he taught thousands of classes and inspired countless people to keep up and live in their excellence.
Today we teach Kundalini Yoga as passed down from teacher to student, for thousands of years, and as gifted to us through our Teacher, Yogi Bhajan. It is with deep gratitude and respect that we carry on this lineage.
Sant Hazara Singh
Yogi Bhajan’s teacher, Sant Hazara Singh, was the Master of Kundalini Yoga and also the Mahan Tantric, a unique position held by only one individual on the planet at a time. Sant Hazara Singh was a very strict and demanding Teacher.
Yogi Bhajan was brought to study with him at his school at age 7, and he declared Yogi Bhajan to be a Master of Kundalini Yoga at age 16-1/2. Under his guidance, Yogi Bhajan learned the White Tantric Yoga knowledge which later aided him in raising the consciousness of many on this planet. When Sant Hazara Singh died the Tantric energy moved to one of his other students, a Tibetan, Lama Lilan Po. In 1971, Lama Lilan Po died, and the Mahan Tantric energy moved to Yogi Bhajan.
Kundalini Yoga burns not only karma of this incarnation
but MANY incarnations.
It cleans you out and resets you.

Tej Kaur Khalsa
Student of Yogi Bhajan
Tej Kaur Khalsa has been a student of Yogi Bhajan for over 35 years. She is the Custodian of the Archives of the Teachings of Yogi Bhajan, and a recognized authority on the teachings. She has been involved in numerous Yogi Bhajan publications as transcriber, editor, and compiler including the Woman’s Camp Series, 72 Stories of God, Good and Goods, and The Master’s Touch.
She holds a Masters Degree in Counseling, and during the many years she worked on Yogi Bhajan’s correspondence, received extensive training from him in yogic counseling. Her classes are occasions to enjoy deep meditative experiences and to learn vast amounts of yogic knowledge.
“I was brought to the teachings of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation through a USC psychology experiment in 1973. Having studied counseling to heal people from their troubles, I realized after my first three months of yogic training that the practice took me light years ahead of anything else in a very short time. So fascinated was I by it all, I began a side hobby of transcribing and archiving the teachings. This quickly became my passion for decades, a way to saturate and submerge myself in the subtle essence of it all. I feel we are now on a magical mystery tour that is revealing itself quickly to those with a destiny to elevate humanity. May the seekers be supported. Sat Nam.”
