Program Description

The Learn to Teach BreathWalk Program is open to all KRI certified Kundalini Yoga Teachers ready to take the next step and learn invaluable tools, add another income stream and assist the community to improve and increase their vitality, mental health and wellness.

There are 5 key components that you will experience, learn and teach.

• Awaken: The awaken exercises are coordinated for the desired effect. Three to five different exercises are done for one to three minutes each. These are simple arm movements, postures and conscious breathing exercises.
• Align: Learning correct alignment techniques is vital to walking for maximum health benefits.
• Vitalise: A specific breathing pattern is used to achieve the desired effect for each Breath Walk. It may be for energising, mood control, mental clarity or connectedness. Techniques include segmented breathing and the use of mantra (primal sounds), either unvoiced or softly voiced. Segmented breathing coordinates with your walking rhythm, taking each step-in rhythm to the breathing. Most of the breathing techniques are done through the nose. The breathing-walking combinations, especially when combined with internally meditating on or whispering, clear the mind of constant self-chatter and allow you to walk with intention.
• Balance: The walk pace gradually slows allowing the senses to expand. Balance movements are usually done.
• Integrate: This is an “innerwalk” exercise to connect mind, body, and environment. Various exercises include “Play and Replay,” “Gathering Your Senses,” and “Expanding Bubble.”

This 90-hour program includes 24 hours face to face component that is run over 3 days filled with theory and practical activities. 66 hours are home study / practice.
