LIFE-FORCE ACADEMY
Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training
Level One · 2027 · with Jai Dev
Come into your own.
This teacher training takes you deeply into the practice and into yourself. It’s a journey of discovering your gifts, developing your intuition, and working through the patterns that obstruct your happiness and sense of purpose.
Through three intensives, weekly classes, and personal practice, you’ll become a skillful practitioner and learn to guide others. You’ll cultivate the joy, creativity, and confidence that give your teaching life, whether you’re leading a yoga class or bringing greater presence and inspiration to the people around you.
Online & in Nevada City · Begins February 3, 2027
For those who feel the call,
whether or not they plan to teach.
You may feel drawn to this training because you want to understand the practice more deeply and give it a greater place in your life. That is a wonderful place to begin.
Learning to teach is part of that process. You practice putting your understanding into words, guiding another person, and sharing something you have experienced yourself. Those abilities have a place in your work, your relationships, and the way you move through the world.
Kat came into the training out of curiosity. A businesswoman with no plans to teach in a yoga studio, she wanted to discover the yogini in herself. Here, she shares what she found and why she now wants to help others experience it.
“The teacher training was a coming home to myself.”

Three dimensions of a complete practice.
Yogic Philosophy & Cosmology
Study the yogic understanding of the mind, life force, and your relationship with the larger universe. Return to these teachings through practice until they become useful in your own life: how you meet challenges, make decisions, and find direction.
Topics from the manual
- Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras
- Yogic cosmology and the mind
- Sankhya: consciousness and nature, the three gunas, the mind
- Concentration and meditation (dharana and dhyana) in practice
The Body, Techniques & Subtle Anatomy
Explore how breath, posture, movement, mantra, and meditation work together. Through the study of the body and subtle anatomy, develop greater precision and sensitivity in your practice, along with an understanding of why the techniques are used.
Topics from the manual
- Yogic anatomy
- Meditation and the concept of kriya
- Sound, mantra and Naad Yoga
- Fundamentals of kriya practice: synchronizing asana, mudra, pranayama and mantra; the centrality of the navel (Nabhi)

The Art of Teaching
Develop the skills to lead a class, explain the practices, and support the people in front of you. Teaching gives you a way to put your understanding into words and action, drawing on the experience you’ve cultivated yourself.
Topics from the manual
- Daily sadhana, and preparing mind, space and intention
- Clear practice instructions and guiding attention
- Sequencing a class
- Neutrality, and individual creativity within discipline
- Compassion and bodhicitta (“The Supreme Jewel”), ethics and integrity
- The teacher as student: learning through teaching
Included in the training
The Art & Science of Kundalini Yoga
Written by Jai Dev, the training manual brings together the philosophy, practices, and teaching principles you’ll explore throughout the program.
You’ll study the mind, breath, subtle anatomy, mantra, and meditation, then return to the practice to discover how the teachings come alive in your own experience. The book gives you a place to revisit what you’ve learned as your understanding grows.
The people you meet. The work you do. What you discover.
Harrison entered the training with a goal of becoming a teacher. Along the way, he found friendships, worked through challenges, and learned more about Kundalini Yoga than he had imagined.
His reflection gives a sense of what it means to commit to this journey. There’s real effort involved, and there are people beside you as you practice, learn, and grow. He looks back with gratitude for Jai Dev, Krishna, and the community that helped him reach the point of being ready to teach.
“I feel like I am a transformed person...like I'm more conscious than I've ever been.”

A journey of self-discovery.
Maxine describes the training as the hardest journey she has been on. It asked her to look within and put aside her ego, a process that brought a depth of love into her life unlike anything she had experienced before.
When she reflects on what that journey meant to her, her answer is clear.
