Frequently Asked Questions

What can you learn from Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training?

Kundalini Yoga Teacher training changed my life. It changed me. Here’s what happened and what I learned. By Salimah Kassim-Lakha.

1. Yoga is much more than the postures

Dangling upside down in a forward fold I thought I was having the height of an experience. Turns out adding meditation, mantra, breath work and the philosophy behind the practice - is really where the practice begins. The poses are secondary.

2. I am responsible for my own experience

As I learned more about the connection between mind and body, I started to see how my thoughts affected my reality. If i decided to have a good day, I would have one. If I decided to let my mood run the show - it did. And I had to deal with the consequences. It gave me an awareness of my super powers. Now I have much more control over how my days unfold.

3. Everyone is doing the best they can

Including me. This is true on and off the mat. I have watched students who have never meditated before - find a regular daily practice for themselves. I have seen the most inflexible student bend and touch their toes after a few classes. And I have let people off the hook - because everyone is doing their best. Including me.

4. Off the mat is just as important as on the mat

In the early days of my Yoga practice - I would take all of my ups and downs to my mat. In that one hour - I would set my intention and let it all go. By the time I stepped off my mat - whatever it was would have faded off into the distance. Now I set my intentions before I do anything.

5. It’s all about technique

One of the hardest things I have ever done was to sit down, close my eyes and clear my mind. Let’s be honest, it never really happened. I would plan my dinner, my wardrobe and everything in between. Teacher training showed me how to use my breath to calm my body, when to use a mantra to focus my mind, and the power that comes from doing these things on a consistent basis. Now as I run my Yoga studio - I always establish a technique - saving me time, effort and money.

6. Spirit is what Spirit Does

The universal principles and teachings of Yoga helped me to appreciate and celebrate spirituality in all its forms. Being closer to nature, seeing the divine in all beings and learning about other spiritual traditions has enriched my day to day experience.

7. Patience Pays

Yoga and meditation strengthens the nervous system. As my nervous system got stronger, I was much more able to handle my emotions. I freaked out less. I became more patient. Being patient has ushered in a new level of relating to myself and to others. I see things more clearly because I take the time to notice instead of making snap decisions. Everything takes time - and it takes patience to see that.

8. Saying Yes

Back in the days before Yoga, I trapped myself in my comfort zones. Same people, same ideas, same habits. Once I dedicated myself to my practice and to the teachings, I started to say yes more often. Yes to new opportunities, to the unknown, to the unfamiliar and I watched myself grow, my perspectives on life and love shifted in ways that helped me be more open, loving and compassionate - with myself and with others.

9. There is always more to learn

The ancient art and sciences of Yoga and Meditation are vast. I consider this field to be about lifelong learning. Each movement, mantra, meditation and breathing practice has a nuance to offer the entire body of information I already have. It’s fascinating, in-depth and so relevant to day to day life.

10. Expect the Unexpected

When I started taking Yoga classes - I had no idea what lay ahead. I really didn’t give it much thought. I went to class and I knew I felt better after. After about a year of doing that - my perspective on life shifted. When I started Yoga Teacher Training, I knew I was signing up to change my life. Now, fifteen years later, I owned a Yoga Studio, have clients all over the world, and speak to audiences regularly about the power of Yoga and Meditation. In one breath it has all been unexpected and in the next breath feels like exactly what I was born to do.

Who needs Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga offers the answer to anxiety, depression, undiagnosable health issues, lack of clarity in life purpose and much more. Gaining these benefits comes from a daily practice of Kundalini Yoga Kriyas and Meditations. One of the most impactful aspects of Kundalini Yoga is that it provides a spiritual experience which is unlike any other form of Yoga. When you can meet yourself spiritually, you can take on any challenge because you know you have all the resources of the Universe to guide and support you.

How do you prepare for Kundalini Yoga?

On a practical level, you simply need a place to practice and to clear time in your schedule to commit on a daily basis. On a deeper level, you need to be willing to meet yourself. This means having a willingness to witness all aspects of your personality. You need to be willing to examine your childhood, heal trauma and choose to believe, act and show up differently in your life. You will understand fear as a projection of the mind and choose love instead. When you tackle what you are afraid of - you can come to clear and easy solutions to most of life’s challenges.

What are the prerequisites for Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training?

Once you find yourself in this place of clarity, you likely want to dive in deeper. That is great news, for you and for humanity. When you strengthen your nervous system, your capacity to handle stress, emotions and the demands of work and family life increases. You are more calm, self confident and able to make clear and compassionate decisions. When you act in this way, everyone around you has the opportunity to level up and meet you at this more conscious level. Your ripple effect becomes greater. You become a leader in your life and you can have a greater impact in the world. Here is what you need to do to prepare for Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training:

1. Practice, Practice, Practice.
The best way to gain the benefits of Kundalini Yoga is to practice daily for 20 to 40 minutes. You can choose a Kriya and Meditation from my YouTube channel or contact me for a Kundalini Numerology Consultation and I will select the best Kriya and meditation for you. This is key to strengthening your nervous system.

2. Set Your Intentions
Once you have practiced daily for 3 to 6 months, you are ready to apply for Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. It is important to be clear on what you want to gain from the program. Is it for personal development so that you can show up differently in your life? Is it to establish a new career so that you can exit the corporate world and work in a way that aligns with your values? Are you ready to do both? All of these reasons are important and will help motivate you as you go through the program.

3. Save Your Money
Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is an investment in yourself. It will pay off in thousands of ways that you can’t even begin to imagine when you sign up. So make sure you have financial resources ready and available so that you can sign up after your application is accepted.

4. Share your Goal
Allow your friends and family to support you as you embark on this journey. Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training is a life changing process, which will inspire everyone around you. As you grow and transform, your network will start to reflect those changes. The more people who are aware of the process you are going through - the smoother it will be.

How Do You Teach Kundalini Yoga?

This is the main question Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training answers. This is not available in videos or books. This is a process of personal discovery, developing your voice, your point of view and relating to the mentors and other students in the program. The secondary part is learning the format and flow of a Kundalini Yoga class. There is a well developed structure to the teaching methodology. Once you learn that technique, you can be a leader in all places in your life. Finally, you will have the opportunity to lead and teach your friends and family. People who may never have tried Kundalini Yoga, are instantly interested because they have witnessed your journey, they know you and they trust you to guide them. It’s a very rewarding way to give back to the world around you.
