Connect to the Infinite Source, Activate Your Inner Power
2024-01-22 19:00 - 21:00 UTC
Connect to the Infinite Source, Activate Your Inner Power
We would like to invite you to an extended class with Suhab Kaur on Monday 22nd January, exploring the numerology of the year with a special kriya and meditation to activate our connection to the Infinite, for purification and healing, and to help establish a flow of prosperity in our lives. This workshop will be streamed live online only.
The total sum of the numbers in the year 2024 is 8. In many cultures number 8 expresses infinity, the oceanic, and the double wheel of life or the clepsydra, connecting the finite with the infinite. In the Mul Mantra the 8th sound is ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ (Akaal Moorat), the image of the Undying. Its gift, or virtue, is the all-embracing power of Compassion. In the human realm this power finds expression in the mother’s capacity to give unconditionally and nourish all children. In Kundalini Yoga, the mantra Sat Siri Akaal, one of our daily sadhana practices, allows us to tune into the vibration of the True, Great Infinite.
We will practice a kriya and an Ashtang mantra, a chant formed by 8 sounds, to balance the neuro-glandular system and unblock the energy channels, so you can expel guilt and grief, rejuvenate and heal. We will also practice Sat Siri Akaal to connect to the Source, feel the flow of the Infinite within, and open up to the bliss of prosperity.
Please book your tickets in advance.
And you can book your online ticket from here.
All monies raised will go to good causes and suggested donation is £4

Suni-ai: Deep Listening
with Suhab Kaur
“From listening, death cannot approach. Nanak says, those who listen flower forever”
You are invited to join the Guru Ram Das Project’s forthcoming One for the Heart online workshop, on Saturday 10th January 2026. We will celebrate the start of the New Year with an exploration of Suni-ai, the state of “deep listening” as taught by Guru Naanak Dev Ji.
Guru Naanak’s teachings on Suni-ai are contained in several stanzas (Pauris 8-11) of his sacred poem Japji Sahib. Guru Nanak teaches us that through deep listening we can acquire the highest virtues, the wisdom of sages, and the ability to “comprehend the depths of boundless knowledge”.
Suni-ai is a profound, active state of being fully present to sensory and spiritual input. It is the state of the awakened self-sensory human; it relates to the extraordinary dimension of the 10th Spiritual Body, the Radiant Body, and its virtue, Royal Courage.
Suni-ai (Deep listening) is a way of living. As we practice to listen in this way, we learn to focus and expand, tune into subtle frequencies and invisible dimensions, connect to the Earth and the Sky. Our ability to go beyond the chatter of the ego mind and listen to our higher self, to our intuition, to nature and to others becomes refined, and as a consequence we feel more grounded, supported, and connected to the larger Whole. We listen deeply so that we can tune to the Hukam, the divine will, and act in harmony with the flow of life, in a neutral, intuitive, fearless, inclusive, compassionate way.
In the workshop we will learn how the expansive and transformative practice of Suni-ai/Deep Listening can lead us to a spiritual awakening and to living a creative and purposeful life. We will also practice a meditation for Strenghtening our Inner Voice and reflect, from the perspective of the sacred numerology of Karam Kriya, on how Suni-ai relates to the year we are about to enter, 2026, and its qualities and its gifts.

VAGUS NERVE - Medicine for the Soul
2026-02-14 09:30 - 12:00 UTC
Specialist workshop on the healing power of vagus nerve with Medical Doctor and Kundalini Yoga Teacher Trainer, Dr Adi Priya Kaur.

Working in emergency medicine as a doctor I have seen many more people with depression, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, digestive issues, insomnia, autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation, and pains; especially after the pandemic. In medicine, we say vagus nerve is important and in Kundalini Yoga, we say it is VERY important. Why? It is because this is the key to your emotional, physical and psychological well-being. In the workshop, we will demystify vagus nerve and explore why Kundalini Yoga can help us repair our own nervous system via the vagus nerve, to restore their inner capacity for inner resilience and self-regulation.
This is a special 2 1/2 hr One For The Heart workshop with medical doctor and Kundalini Yoga teacher trainer, Adi Priya Kaur.
About Adi Priya
Adi Priya Kaur is a Professional Trainer at the Aquarian Trainer Academy and an Emergency Medicine doctor based in London.
Her passion is to integrate physical and spiritual well-being. Her multifaceted career reflects a commitment to holistic health, combining the scientific rigour of Western medicine with the transformative practices of Kundalini Yoga and the arts.

Teaching Kundalini Yoga in Therapeutic Settings
2026-03-21 09:30 - 12:00 UTC
A specialist workshop for Kundalini Yoga teachers considering working with populations that require a more sensitive, adaptive approach

Specialist Training for Kundalini Yoga Teachers
A practical workshop for Kundalini Yoga teachers who are considering working with populations that require a more sensitive, adaptive approach to practice. Kundalini Yoga is traditionally taught with an emphasis on “keep up” as a way to build discipline, train the mind, and develop resilience. These principles have real value but may not be appropriate in a therapeutic setting.
This workshop explores how teachers can create a safe and inclusive space in which students are supported to practice Kundalini Yoga to their own ability. It addresses how to balance challenge with discernment, teaching students to tune in and creating space for self-agency.
Through discussion alongside Kundalini Yoga and meditation, the workshop introduces a more therapeutic teaching orientation while remaining rooted in the tradition. This is not a yoga therapy training, but a grounded entry point for teachers interested in working with vulnerable populations, including elders, people in recovery, and those managing health challenges.
Teacher Bio
Sat Shakti Kaur is the founder and director of JOY Yoga and serves as Project Director for 3HO Europe. A long-time Kundalini practitioner, she’s been teaching since 2007. She is a KRI-certified teacher and trainer, experienced in teaching general yoga classes for beginner to advanced students, specialty classes for women, students aged 60+, and those with health conditions. She has trained in Kundalini Yoga Therapy and is a practitioner of Sat Nam Rasayan.
A former ballet dancer, Sat Shakti has a background in business and the arts. Integrating Kundalini into her life, enabled her to heal a debilitating back injury. She loves sharing Kundalini Yoga for its deep capacity to heal and transform, meeting people exactly where they are.

Silver Age: Kundalini Chair Yoga
2026-05-23 09:30 (Europe/Paris)
Overview
How to teach Kundalini Yoga to older adults, or people with mobility challenges, with chair yoga teacher trainer Raghurai Singh.

“When you reach forty, you decline, not because there must be a decline, but because you have not taught yourself self-discipline. You did not become your own teacher.” — YB

During the session, we will explore various warm-up exercises and discuss how to effectively structure classes for different mobility requirements. The workshop includes a full Kundalini Yoga class featuring adapted chair-seated and standing postures, followed by a gentle meditation.
You can book and get your tickets from Eventbrite.

The Science and Research on Yoga for Trauma and PTSD - A Talk & Q&A with Sat Bir Singh Khalsa
2026-07-30 19:00 - 21:00 UTC
Attend online or in person
Join us for an accessible talk and Q&A with a world-renowned expert in yoga research, exploring the science behind yoga’s role in supporting people experiencing trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The experience of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been recognized as debilitating conditions with an unfortunately high prevalence in modern society. Despite the fact that many of the cardinal symptoms include physical bodily characteristics, many of the conventional approaches to treating trauma and PTSD are largely psychologically and cognitively based and have limited efficacy. There is now a growing implementation of trauma sensitive yoga for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. This workshop will review the scientific rationale for multicomponent traditional yoga practices including postures/exercises, breath regulation, relaxation and meditation/mindfulness techniques for treating trauma and PTSD. We will also review the research literature on the published clinical trials using yoga as a therapeutic intervention.
