New dates for 2026!

November 22 - December 17, 2026

at The Yoga Barn

Ubud, Bali

Join a heart-centred, month-long journey of self-inquiry, self-development, and self-discipline. This immersive training invites you to deepen your personal yoga practice while exploring the foundational principles of living and teaching the ancient system of Kundalini Yoga.

Led by Greg Kaps, the training offers an integrated approach to this powerful tradition. Drawing from the Classical Himalayan Kundalini lineage, Yogi Bhajan style Kundalini, and more than 20 years of direct practice and teaching experience, Greg will guide participants through a gradual, practical, and grounded study of these mystical teachings.

Graduates will leave with a well-rounded understanding of the science of awakening through Kundalini Yoga, along with greater inner intuition, stability, and confidence. The training also supports students in recognizing the seeds of Kundalini within other yoga styles, while developing the ability to create their own sequences and teaching style through an awakened inner guru and authentic voice.

Beyond personal growth, participants will experience the profound support of sacred community, sharing the process with like-minded, heart-led, and spirit-connected people. These connections are often lasting for a lifetime.

We will study and practice:

Daily kriyas, asana, pranayama, mantra, and meditation practices
Grounding and integration practices, with evening time for restorative work, quiet reflection, self-massage, or calming meditation
Energetic anatomy: chakras, koshas, vayus, nadis, bandhas, and more
Techniques for working with each kosha and every chakra, with 35 layers of practice
Safe and skillful sequencing
Pranayama techniques
Specific meditations and tools for teaching meditation
Chanting and mantras
Kirtan and bhakti practices

A day of karma yoga is also included during the training, offering an opportunity for selfless service to support the local community and environment. Past contributions have included garbage cleanup, tree planting, and painting an orphanage.

Commitment to the practice and process

Prerequisites are required. Please read carefully before applying.

Kundalini Yoga is a powerful technology that works with subtle energy and affects every layer of the being. Students should already have a degree of inner stability through their yoga practice and must be psychologically fit to participate in an intensive process. This is not a drop-in yoga holiday, but a life-changing experience of opening to the wisdom and energy within. At times, the process may feel confronting or uncomfortable, so readiness to meet whatever arises is essential.

Support will be available from an experienced team of teachers, yet the deepest support must come from within. The training is designed for sincere, dedicated practitioners who are established in their inner being and ready to take a deeper step. A mature relationship to thought and emotion is necessary to create a beneficial experience for yourself and the group.

To apply, students must have either two years of dedicated yoga practice, or one year of practice plus completion of a 200-hour Hatha-based training. Special exceptions may be considered through an evaluation process to assess stability.
