Healing the Pain of Our Past with Tarn Taran Singh
Cost: $25/adv or $30/day of
Transforming Anger into Forgiveness
Anger inflicts a heavy toll on your body, your mental peace and your relationships with others.
Yogi Bhajan says "When you are angry your entire energy consolidates into the wavelength of that angry thought, you stay in anger perpetually. Your anger takes away nourishment from your body, takes away heat from your stomach and energy from your blood circulation. If you realize the cost you pay for one moment of anger, you would never become angry.”
In this course we will use the tools of Kundalini Yoga to release the pains from our past and transform our destructive forces of anger, into the constructive and healing energies of forgiveness. (Class will include live mantra singing.)
In 1972 Tarn Taran Singh was a hippie on his way to Mexico when he stopped off in Tucson and met Yogi Bhajan (and Gurmukh!) at the Mahan Dev Ashram. He became Yogi Bhajan’s student and has been practicing and teaching Kundalini Yoga all over the world ever. He lived many years in Europe where he founded the European Yogi Tea Company and first European Teacher Training program. He is currently living in New Mexico working for KRI as the International Director of the Aquarian Teacher Training Program. He is also a musician and has authored a series of Mantra CD’s which include Mantras of Prayer, and Soul Bride.

Dissolving Happiness Through Ego

Valentine's Day Celebration with Gurmukh
The Heart center is the strongest of all centers. The heart center effects 108 trillion times more effectively than the head. Heart has the power of a 108 suns. Whenever you pray with your head, it will take a long time -- you have to go through intellect, thought, circumstances, environment, space, and time. Whenever you sing or pray from heart, it will be timeless, spaceless and absolutely effective. It works.
Let your heart become the Temple of Gold.
Please join us for a bountiful, beautiful and blissful heart-felt Kundalini Yoga and Meditation evening. This incredible class will be dedicated to the Infinite Power of the heart.

Clearing the Memories Collected in the Womb:
A Rebirthing Experience with Tej
Cost: $40/adv or $45/day of
The ancient yogic scriptures tell us that we enter our mother’s womb during the 4th month of pregnancy. From that point on, all thoughts & emotions experienced by our mothers are downloaded into our subconscious.
Many of our fears, attitudes, habits, physical health and predisposition to illness have been handed to us. Even the pattern in which we breathe is a direct result of the imprint we received while we were in the womb. Sometimes useful and sometimes not, these patterns are what we come into the world with, and they stay with us to form our personality.
This night, let us go into the unconsciousness and remove some of the non-useful information. Through meditation, breath and the sound of the Gong, let the ancient teachings bring us back to our state of innocence, from which we can then rebuild and direct our consciousness into a Renewed and New Way of Being which reflects our ULTIMATE DESTINY.
Be prepared for an Intense Rebirthing Experience.

Sat Kriya is one of the most Essential practices of Kundalini Yoga. It is a Gem all in itself. This Kriya is a complete action in itself.
When we are unbalanced in the lower chakra’s negative emotions, addictions, digestive trouble’s and fears are prevalent. Many times we feel as though nothing can get us out of these states. Sat Kriya is a practice that can remove us from these lower spaces.
In this workshop we will tone the nervous system, channel creative and sexual energies, regain are naval strength and calm emotional disarray. We will go deeply into the power of Sat Kriya. This Kriya can completely recalibrate your metabolism, heal your digestion, take away any unstable eating behaviors, facilitate weight loss, rejuvenate your sexual system, bring prosperity, help you to conceive, and completely detoxify the system. It also removes neurosis and gets rid of phobias and can help you to regain your naval strength after having a baby.
We will enter into a deep healing space together using the group energy field to uplift and transform using this ancient Kriya. We will follow this with a long GONG.
“Sat Naam is the bij or seed mantra. It is small and potent. Great things grow from it. If it is written in your destiny to be with God and know higher consciousness, this mantra engraves it in your destiny. Sat Kriya is to purify your being. Disease, ailment, weakness, impotency, laziness, and negativity – all improper things will leave you” Yogi Bhajan
