About The Kundalini Research Institute


 

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.

Shine because that is important. Share because it is demanded of you." - Yogi Bhajan
