Course Outline

The Mother’s Journey course covers topics that range from pre-conceptional care and consciousness to care of the mother and her children as they leave the nest.

The course is primarily intended to equip the trainees with knowledge and techniques that enable them to teach Kundalini Yoga and Meditation to pregnant women.

• The Journey is divided into 6 weekend modules to choose from.
• Each module is 16 hours long.
• Candidates wishing to complete The Mother´s Journey need to attend at least 5 of the 6 modules in order to certify. The complete course comprises a minimum of 80 hours duration.
• The 2nd module is compulsory for those intending to obtain the certificate.

The other major objective of the course is to share the ancient and universal wisdom from the yogic tradition, which has largely been lost in the West. This includes principles of living, daily practices, recipes, etc.

There will be an exam upon completing all three weekends and then you will be certified to teach at the end of the course. Insurance cover will be available and we are aiming to have KYTA CEU qualifications and ultimately a seal from KRI.
