The Ashram Experience

Ashram Experience, Portugal

For all Level 1 courses, this 5 day residential is the final part of the KRI Aquarian Teacher Training as organised by the Karam Kriya School and is an essential part of the training experience.

Trainees are recommended to undertake the Ashram Experience at least one year after the start of the course (when most if not all modules locally have been attended) and within 20 months of starting the course.

For trainees on UK courses, the cost is 374 Euros when you book online for teaching fees.

  • Food and accommodation costs are covered in your local course fee for the Ashram.
  • There are many options to attend the Ashram Experience throughout each year and trainees book their own place to suit their schedule.
  • Read the terms and conditions on the Quinta do Rajo website when booking your place. If you cancel your place on the training or drop out for any reason throughout the course but have booked and paid for your Ashram Experience place, Quinta will refund you 50% of the 374 Euro fee.

This is the final stage of Age of Aquarius Level 1 Teacher Training.

5 day stay experiencing community life, at the Ashram of the Ram Das Guru Association – Quinta do Rajo.

5 days of community life, surrounded by nature, that will help you awaken through the teachings of Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan.

SERVE

On the path to excellence the stepping stones are Obedience, Service and Love.
