9 Ways the Aquarian Yoga Program Transforms Your Life

By Sandra Shama Kaur, Kundalini yoga teacher and founder of YallaYoga

In the summer of 2012, I completed the Aquarian Yoga Teacher Training Program, accredited by the Kundalini Research Institute in New Mexico, USA. Without a shred of doubt in my heart, I can say that it was the best investment I ever made in my life.  My entire life shifted from being a young lost soul, trapped in unpleasant relationships and unhelpful habits, to an empowered young woman who drives the ship of her life, unafraid to rise to challenges and utilize her energy to contribute positively to the world, uplift mankind and transform her relationships. Here is a short synopsis of what this training can do for you:

1- Acute Awareness

You will gain such an acute awareness of yourself. An awareness that is so fast, sharp and deep that within seconds you will recognize how your own thoughts and habits are sabotaging your potential for excellence and you will have the tools that can set you free in 9 seconds.

2- Sweet Self Care

You will know how to take care of yourself. You will have a razor sharp self-monitoring system that will alert you to your own emotional imbalance, fatigue, sleeplessness, weak digestion, stress, looming sickness, anger or fear. What is even better: you will have tools that can zap you out of this state all by yourself. That is, without resorting to psychologists or psychiatrists, medication or stimulants like caffeine, cigarettes, drugs or alcohol. You will effectively become your own doctor.

3- Self -Sensory

You will develop your meditative mind, which will give you the patience to wait and see what comes to you. Your mind will direct you to work towards the right channels. You will meet the right people. Your creativity will be your sensory system. You will be overflowing energy, touching the hearts of people, feeling their feelings and filling their emptiness.

4- Become Authentic

You will drop the mask: the make-up or hairdo, the fancy car or the diamond rings, the designer bags, shoes and attire. You will become comfortable just being you, plain and simple. You will honor your word and speak the truth, the word that honors your identity, your being and your soul.

5- Intuition

You will have a pre-emptive knowing that will tell you what to say or do before a situation calls for action. You will know the consequences of your action before you act. You will see something coming, before it comes. You will be way ahead of the game.

6- Conquer Crisis

You will conquer crisis. You will have the physical capacity and mental vitality to penetrate a crisis with wide open arms and cross to the other side of the tunnel with grace, honor and humility.  Each crisis will bring you one step closer to your destiny.

7- Illuminating Radiance

You will radiate light wherever you go. Without having to say a word or look a certain way, your sheer presence, aura and light will be noticed by others who will show you the reverence, trust and understanding that you deserve.

8- Purposeful Living

You will know your purpose. You will appreciate your uniqueness. You will understand your talents and abilities. You will be able to reorganize your strengths, talents and abilities in a way that makes you excellent and serves your community.

9- Community Shaper

You will gain the tools that will allow you to become an effective member of society. You will be able to serve others through being a Teacher. A teacher that “walks the walk and talks the talk.” You will be able to teach others how to self care, and also care for others. Your role in society will be that of the Archangel who alleviates the pain and suffering of those around you by sharing tools for empowerment and self-initiation. You will show others the path - the way to become their own masters, their own teachers and their own doctors.
