Immerse your self with the Self

"Level 1 teacher training... is for me a space of learning—the collaboration of knowledge, life and practice is a wholistic integration of student/ teacher/ class and hearted connections. Guru Dass gifts a life of lived experiences, his storytelling and ability to connect history, experience and consciousness creates an opening for the student to experience their own journey within the collective meanderings of life...This is a teaching, a retreat, a gathering, a respect for the nurturing of a life journey within the awareness of the sacred path we may all live... and the connections we have with people, spirit and nature". - Gav · Melbourne

Normally most people enter Bali with an on-site 30 day visa, which is free of cost for over 140 countries. But in our case you need a special visa, which you need to apply for at the Indonesia Embassy in your country. You will need to state the purpose of your travels (study) and need to present a sponsor letter, which Desa Seni will provide once you have registered and paid for the course. If you have any questions please contact us as soon as possible. Visas can take up to 3 weeks to be processed, so we encourage you to begin applying around 2 months before the course begins. The costs for these visas depend on the country you are applying from and the passport you hold, so you will need to inquire with the local Indonesian Embassy about the costs in your country. You will need a valid passport with at least 6 months before it expires. Once you've registered and made your payment you must request Desa Seni a letter of sponsorship to apply for your visa. FAQ

Check in begins at Desa Seni at 10:00am on April 15th, 2017. If it is possible, we highly suggest that you arrive in Bali two or three days in advance of the course beginning. This is to help you rest and recover from jet lag before the course begins. Q: When should I get to Desa Seni? A: You need to be in Bali to check in for the course on April 15th, 2017.

A: The best and easiest way is by taxi, at least on the first day. The address is: Desa Seni, A Village Resort Jl.

Q: How about getting around if I am not staying at Desa Seni? A: Many people rent scooters to get around Bali. If you are staying in another hotel it might be a good idea to get one, as you will need to come to Sadhana every morning at 4:30 am. Rentals are cheap and can be done through most hotels themselves. Otherwise you can arrange taxis to pick you up from the hotel in the morning and from Desa Seni in the evening. Q: What should I pack? A: Once you register you will be provided with a suggested packing list. We suggest you bring one large suitcase or duffle as checked luggage and one small bag or knapsack as your carry on.

We suggest you consult with your doctor if you are concerned about this issue, and do whatever makes you feel comfortable. There are also sites online with helpful information.

Whatever medications you are required to take at home, please continue to take them while in Bali. |

The only KRI approved Level 1 Immersion course in Bali!
|
KRI (Kundalini Research Institute) is the official international training organization that promotes the teachings of Yogi Bhajan and oversees teacher training programs in 52 countries, graduating over 3000 new Kundalini Yoga teachers annually. The Level One KRI Aquarian Teacher Training Program consists of a 220 hour program (180 hours in class; 40 home practice). Graduates of Level One earn the title of KRI Certified Instructor of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®, are registered with the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association (IKYTA) and fulfill the Yoga Alliance RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) 200-hour requirement. The primary regulatory body for Kundalini Yoga teachers is IKYTA, not Yoga Alliance.
Beware of non-KRI certified Kundalini Yoga teacher trainings! Be aware during your search for a teacher training about who your trainers are, their qualifications and legitimacy, and what institution you will be certified by once you graduate. Too many students have been misinformed and have had to re-take their training with legitimate teachers once they discovered they were not properly trained or certified after completing their training. This is a KRI certified Level 1 teacher training course taught by KRI certified teacher trainers. |
