Teachers:

Adesh Khalsa studied under first generation senior teachers Sat Jiwan Singh and Sat Jiwan Kaur in NYC at Kundalini Yoga East and received her Kundalini Yoga Certification in 2003.  She has taught thousands of hours of Kundalini Yoga classes since she began teaching in 2002.  Adesh also trained under senior teacher Anne Nowell and received her Yoga Instructor certification with emphasis in the methods of the Krishnamacharya Lineage, primarily Ashtanga and Vini Yoga, in 2008.  She has used Kundalini Yoga primarily as well as other healing modalities in her own life to overcome Lyme disease and a debilitating car accident.  She is living proof of the power of the teachings.  She continues to help people by giving them effective tools to achieve their goals of health, stability, santosha (contentment), and abundance in their lives by teaching them kundalini yoga practices.  Her inspiration for leading this training is that Kundalini Teacher trainings being offered severely lack basic foundational information and skill related to asana that every yoga teacher should know.  She is keeping the teachings of Kundalini Yoga as they were passed down from Yogi Bhajan.  What she is doing differently is reintroducing the essential knowledge and practices of Hatha yoga to give the teachers a more comprehensive training so they can help students to prepare their body to do the practices with more precision and ease, thereby achieving a deeper exalted experience.  This is why Hatha was originally studied as a prerequisite in India before ever receiving the sacred and secret teachings of Kundalini Yoga.

Anne Nowell- Senior Teacher, has been instructing yoga for 30 years and has lived and studied in India and at two Sivananda Yoga Ashrams.  She has trained and instructed for many years in the Krishnamacharya lineage both in Ashtanga and Vini Yoga directly under Pattabhi Jois and Desikachar.  Founder of the Ashtanga Yoga Centers of San Diego.  She will be teaching an introduction to Patanjalis Yoga Sutras as well as the history of yoga in the US.  It is rare to have someone with over 30 years of teaching experience who studied directly with such prominent yoga icons on our staff of teachers for this training.
