Certification and Admission Criteria
Students must meet the following criteria to qualify for certification:
Fees
Full payment of the course fees is required before the start of the training. If a payment plan has been agreed upon, the individual arrangement applies after approval by the lead trainer.
Additional Classes
Students must attend a minimum of 20 Kundalini Yoga classes during or before the training period, independent of the yoga classes provided within the course. These must be documented and signed by the teacher.
Attendance
Students must attend all training days. If you miss a session, you can make it up at a later time - you can contact us for available options in The Netherlands, Belgium or other countries.
Additionally, participation in all sadhanas is expected, though exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The training must be fully completed within two years from the start date to qualify for certification.
Practicum Classes
Students must teach two practicum classes during the training period to gain teaching experience and receive feedback. To meet certification requirements, these classes must be performed satisfactorily and demonstrate a clear understanding of the teachings.
Exam
Students must pass the written or take-home exam with a satisfactory grade. If a student does not pass the written exam, the take-home exam will count towards certification. If both are not passed, additional assignments will be required to obtain certification.
Coursework
✔ Completion of a 40-day meditation practice, keeping a journal to record experiences and progress.
✔ Development of two separate course curricula – one for beginners and one specialized series.
Essential Reading
The official course manual is required study material.
White Tantric Yoga
In addition to the course requirements mentioned above, students must attend at least one full day of White Tantric Yoga (in any country). This requirement may be substituted by attending five Rebirthing Kriyas, taught by a certified KRI Teacher Trainer.

As a Kundalini Yoga teacher, ethical conduct is essential in upholding personal integrity, creating a safe space for students, and ensuring a supportive and respectful learning environment. These ethical principles apply both to you as a student during the training and later as a teacher guiding others.
