200 hrs Yoga Teacher Training in India @ Vishuddhi Isha Yoga ( VIY)
We at Vishuddhi Isha Yoga Practice Kundalini Yoga in a spiritual way that draws on ancient tantric knowledge. We offer serious spiritual Yogis our Kundalini yoga teacher training in Goa India which involves a series of meditative and contemplative techniques (kriyas) that aims at cleansing the chakras and raising the kundalini energy from Mooladhara to Sarhshaha, eventually leading to complete metamorphosis and transformation of the consciousness.
Unlike its physical variant often being practiced in the West, practicing Kundalini Yoga at Vishuddhi Isha Yoga means drawing your awareness inward to your center self(Atman). We awaken the consciousness in a way that invites you to think creatively out of the box and develop your intuitive mind. Good health, willpower, concentration, youth, vigor, vitality and peace are the natural outcomes as we go deeper into sadhana (dedicated uninterrupted practice of a Yogi with complete love and devotion) over the prolonged period of time.
This method of kundalini works the strongest for your personal transformation. By gradually and safely awakening and employing the power of Shakti, you will benefit greatly from an elevation in consciousness, higher physical well-being and an expansion of awareness. Eventually, when you learn Kundalini Yoga in India with us, practicing Kundalini Kriyas will also help you living a harmonious and balanced life full of contentment and compassion!!!

What we teach in this course?
Kundalini Yoga YTTC Orientation by Pradip krishnaa
We teach authentic, ancient and traditional Kundalini Kriya Yoga methods which also include nada and mantra Yoga techniques and methods for cleansing the chakras and awakening the Kundalini. The course is comprised of Kundalini Yoga concepts in the form of interactive discourses with teachers, tantra Kundalini philosophy, physiology and detailed explanation and understanding of the Kundalini serpent energy within us. The Kriyas and meditations will bring slow and gradual changes to our mind, body and every aspect of our life. Strict discipline, austerity and persistent effort along with serious dedication is required in order for the aspirant to reach higher on this path. No sudden changes and results can be expected.
We don’t teach Yogi Bhajan Style of Kundalini Yoga at VIY. However, few methods and kriyas might bear similarity with Yogi Bhajan’s form of Kundalini Yoga. we follow Yogananda and Shivanada Kriya Kundalini Yoga lineages and we also draw our teachings from traditional classical Hatha, Nada, Kriya Yoga and Mantra Yoga systems.
Each Kundalini and Tantra Yoga Asana series is done with a specific breathing technique that intensifies the effects of the poses with the purpose of freeing energy in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards within the chakras. Kundalini sequences (Kriyas) may be done in conjunction with a designated breathing method (Pranayama) or holding a pose (locks) while breathing in a particular way. Our Kundalini Yoga class begins with a short chant followed by a warm-up to stretch the spine and improve flexibility. The main focus is the practice of Kriyas, which is a proscribed sequence of poses and pranayama which focuses on a precise area of the body. The class ends with a meditation, which is accompanied by the teacher singing closing mantra or a devotional prayer.
