Entrance Criteria
There are no concrete requirements for entry, however, if the student has little or no experience of Kundalini Yoga then entry will be based on the recommendation of one of the course tutors. 1 year of regular attendance at a Kundalini Yoga class is recommended before starting training.
Equal Opportunities Policy
While honouring a policy of non-discrimination on grounds of gender, sexual orientation, religion, age or ethnicity the Karam Kriya School reserves the right to refuse entry to any students on grounds of general unsuitability and to refuse continuation of the course as a consequence of inappropriate or discriminatory behaviour.
Certification Criteria
Students must satisfy the following criteria to qualify for certification:
Fees:
Full payment of course fees by the 7th weekend.

Students must attend 180 hours of classroom time, plus 20 hours home study. Exceptional or special circumstances may result in a student completing the course by attendance at future KY teacher training programmes. Attendance at a minimum of 5 sadhanas on the training days. Note: maximum length of training to receive certification is 2 years from the start date – which provides the opportunity to catch up on missed weekends in the first year and to complete course requirements.
