The Aquarian Teacher Training Level 1: Foundation® is the first level of a three tiered KRI Certified Teacher Training Program of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Upon the completion of this transformative course you will become a Certified Kundalini Yoga instructor and qualify to apply as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) at the 200hr-level by Yoga Alliance.

Throughout this 220+ hour, 8 month program, you will be part of a supportive, yogic community who will share this deep experience into the teachings with you. Taking the time to meet over nine weekends with manageable hours allows you to integrate the teachings gracefully into your daily life while respecting your personal, family and work obligations.

You will be supported by a team of dedicated KRI Trainers who are members of the KRI Aquarian Academy and are available to you locally between weekends for the duration of the program and beyond. In this program life-long relationships and deep bonds of trust will form that fulfill the longing of the soul for fellowship and spiritual community. Our final weekend together is a 3 day, 2 night retreat at a nearby waterfront Retreat Centre - the perfect way to acknowledge your commitment, dedication and newly acquired knowledge by being surrounded by fellowship and community.
