What is African Kundalini Yoga?

African Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training of Southern Africa (AKYTTSA) is a yoga teacher training school that uses Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, Hatha Yoga principles and practices, and the African principle of Ubuntu – building community by recognising the humanity in everyone as a reflection of one’s own divinity. African Kundalini Yoga is an inspiring mix of spiritual, mental and physical practices that draws on Indian knowledge systems and the deep wisdoms belonging to African spirituality.

It combines movement, repetition of mantras, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, earth rituals and ceremonies, and ancestor work. The aim is to strengthen all the physical systems of the body, build control over the mind in order to break unwanted habits, and create powerful self-control within the acknowledgement of the interleaving systems of our existence.
