 BECOME A KUNDALINI YOGA TEACHER

Your journey into becoming a teacher is the journey to the discovery of self.  The more at peace you are with you, the deeper your sense of acceptance and self love, the more impact you will have in guiding others towards the same goal.  Being a teacher is not about fame, success or money it is about opening the space for others to find peace and true meaning in their lives.  Once you do that everything else will follow.  Guru Dass
