Established on
February 1, 1972 by Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D., Master of
Kundalini Yoga, the Kundalini Research Institute is
entrusted with The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan. KRI, a
non-profit corporation, safeguards the purity,
integrity, and accuracy of the Teachings of Yogi Bhajan
by:
-
Developing 3 levels of International Yoga Teacher Certification
-
Preserving the teachings legacy for the
future online Library of the Teachings
-
Awarding the KRI Seal of Approval to
products that successfully meet the standards of KRI Review
-
Providing services and resources for Kundalini Yoga students and teachers via online services and upgraded Yogi Bhajan Products
Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, was brought to
the West by Yogi Bhajan in 1968. Yogi Bhajan taught
that, through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and
meditation, your glandular and nervous systems are
stimulated, and your capacity for creative potential is
heightened. You gain inner vitality to compensate for
the adverse effects of stress so you can excel in life.

Kundalini yoga classes are a dynamic blend of postures, pranayam, mantra, music and meditation, which teach you
the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation.
Balancing body and mind enables you to experience the
clarity and beauty of your soul. No previous experience
in yoga is required for you to achieve results with your
very first class.
Men of great knowledge
actually found out about the chakras –their workings,
their petals, their sounds, their infinity, their
co-relationship, their powers.
They found that the life of a human is totally based on
these chakras. This total science gave birth to Kundalini Yoga.

Finance Report for 2008
The Kundalini Research Institute,
entrusted with preserving and spreading The Teachings of
Yogi Bhajan since 1971, fulfills that trust in three
primary ways: The Aquarian Academy, which trains and
certifies teachers and trainers all around the world;
The Yogi Bhajan Library of Teachings, the living archive
of Yogi Bhajan’s entire catalogue of teachings on
Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, health and nutrition,
humanology and more; and KRIs products and services,
which provide resources for students, teachers and
trainers all around the globe through our website,
books, yoga manuals and DVDs.We are accomplishing these
goals with very limited resources: 13 Full-Time Staff
and 5 Seasonal Contractors, along with a handful of
trusted outside vendors.
Like most other
nonprofit organizations, we depend on you! Donations and
grants provide the resources we need to move forward. As
a business, we make every effort to have our products
and events pay for themselves. But much of the work we
do here at KRI has no such business model to depend
on—the success of that work depends on you. Your
donations make the work of The Yogi Bhajan Library of
Teachings possible. We thank you for your support in
2008 and your ongoing support in 2009—and we will
continue to serve you by providing the resources and
services you need to take these teachings out into the
world and more deeply into your own lives.
