Kundalini Now

International Independent School of Kundalini Yoga Here we are in the 2020's (a quarter of a century after i-SKY began training yoga teachers).

The following is how it looked for us in 2010 (15 years into our "mission"):

Thank you for your interest in the School of Kundalini Yoga Instructors course, which is licensed by KRI, the Kundalini Research Institute of the USA, as Level 1 of the international Teacher Training Programme approved by Yogi Bhajan, recognised by the Yoga Alliance and which leads to membership of the International Kund

alini Yoga Teachers Association. Due to the increasing demand for our courses and retreats, ISKY now also offer programmes in Germany, Ireland, Israel, Sweden Malaysia and will begin courses in several other countries over the next year. Please contact us for further details. Since 1996 we have offered an annual cycle of what has proved to be a very successful and rewarding course programme. Rewarding for those individuals who have chosen to explore their own self-awareness through this ancient technology and successful in that SKY continues to offer the oldest Kundalini Yoga training course in the UK and now also offers ever more programs across the world as i-SKY.net, each year empowering more and more competent teachers many of whom never expected to teach at all! Every year several students join us with little awareness of their intention to teach but with a genuine motivation to deepen their understanding of the process that Kundalini Yoga has sparked within them. Every year several of those students discover themselves, in the realisation that we are all teachers in the making. The course itself has developed over the years and is now offered in over 20 different countries. The definitive 220 hour syllabus is now supported by two excellent course manuals and enjoys international recognition by the Yoga Alliance. The course is largely experiential but if you thought that this course would be nothing but yoga postures you are in for a most informative surprise. The next opportunities to join our main UK course will be in October and November 2010. This course comprises 9 residential weekend units, 7 running from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon and 2 running from Friday evening to Bank Holiday Monday afternoon. The course must be completed within a 2 year period (i.e. any unit missed in the first series must be attended in the second series). As well as the core group of new students, who will progress through the course with you, you will subsequently meet experienced students from the previous year completing their attendance requirement. We find this approach broadens the participant’s experience as well as allowing some flexibility for those juggling other time commitments. Your tutors this year are all internationally experienced teachers resident in Europe with a wealth of diverse knowledge to enrich the exciting syllabus that has been developed by KRI. Each Part is presented by one of the SKY Trainers supported by a member of our SKY Teacher in Training team, whom you will have met on your first weekend, this ensures continuity as well as a variety of presentation styles. A Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association was established in the UK for the first time in 2000 and all UK students are now registered with KYTA UK from Part 3 with UK insurance available from Part 6 of the SKY course. International students will be registered with IKYTA the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association upon completion. We firmly believe that experience is the key to understanding, so you have several opportunities to experience this course before committing yourself to registering as a student. Firstly our annual yoga retreat in May offers the opportunity to meet with past and present students and teachers and get a flavour of the SKY style. Secondly you can attend Part 1 &/or 2 of the course, with no obligation to continue the course further unless you then choose to do so. Please note though, that the demand for places on our courses now means that only those who register for the course in advance will be assured of a place. Several places are now reserved a year in advance and some late applicants may be disappointed. The final part of the course encompasses a yoga retreat which is open to all students of Kundalini Yoga and which affords instruction opportunities for our graduating students.

May the 4th be with you
an i-SKY "KNOWGA" Gathering
Online 4th May 2024

As we build to the September 2024 launch of our KNOWGA training program we are scheduling another online Gathering: May 4th – be with us all 😊

We have appropriated the title from “Star Wars” Day, although Darryl maintains that he thought of it first 🙄 – and he did spend the late 70’s replying “May the 4th ?” in a puzzled tone to anyone saying “May the Force be with you.” 🚀 – so who knows?

We do hope that you may be able to join us live (online) on Zoom 10:00 – 12:00 (UK Time) on the morning of Saturday 4th May when Guru Dharam and Darryl will share an experiential Knowga Gathering. The Gathering will be recorded for subsequent viewing by those unable to attend in person. The event is free of charge but registration (by email only) is required both to attend live and/or to view the recording subsequently. Registration by email admin@i-sky.net GATHERING 4 May 2024

Unlike recent online i-SKY events this one will not include an information presentation (although an info download will be made available) and instead there will be an evening Q&A / Social Chat with Livtar Llyn, Guru Dharam, Darryl and whoever else turns up 19:30-20:30 on the same Zoom link as the morning Gathering (free too).

If you would like to make a day of it, you can also join Guru Dharam in between 3-5pm as he travels back in time (to 10am in New York) for a May 4th be with you Cave Practice (this one is not free – but 2 out of 3 is not bad) 😉.

May 4th be with you
an online i-SKY Knowga gathering (free and open to all - please share this invite with any whom you consider would wish to gather with or within i-SKY)
Saturday 4th May 2024
Gathering: 10:00 – 12:00 on Zoom
Social Chat: 19:30 – 20:30 on the same Zoom link

Please register by email admin@i-sky.net GATHERING 4 May 2024 and you will be sent the Zoom link on 1st May 2024. Please note registration is by email (not by social media) and all confirmations (and the Zoom link) will be sent by email from admin@i-sky.net

We look forward to seeing you soon.
With Love and Light
Darryl, Guru Dharam, Livtar Llyn

SHAKTI PAD: BREAKING THE EGO LOCK
A one day online workshop with Guru Dharam Singh.

We shall also examine life practice for a yogini in our post Piscean times. Principals, attitudes and protocols for a practical modern mystic.
Intended primarily for past students and those who associate themselves with i-SKY but suited to all who find themselves on a path of self awareness.
All are welcome
9am - 5pm UK time

Please share: 100% ONLINE i-SKY K1 Yoga Instructors course begins 7 November 2020.
As Covid-19 restrictions mean we cannot resume in-person UK courses at Ufton Court before January 2021 (if then 🙁) we are launching an entirely online course see i-sky.net/events for details. Ten weekends with five experienced lead trainers (Guru Dharam Khalsa Siri Sat, BenJahmin, Livtar Llyn & Darryl O'Keeffe) interspersed by "themed student support" from Livtar Llyn and Darryl plus specialist guest presentations. We have no doubt that this will be a suitably transformative experience in the i-SKY tradition and also represents extraordinary value. We really appreciate your spreading the word about it or perhaps joining us yourself 🧘‍♀️.
The first two weekends are open to all with no obligation to complete or continue the course. Guru Dharam is first up with "Personal Practice & Modern Kundalini Yoga" on 7-8 November followed by Siri Sat "Awakening through the Body" 12-13 December (the 2021 dates are at i-SKY.net/events)
Past i-SKY students can rejoin us for any of these online course weekends for the cost of a couple of yoga classes (£55 Sat&Sun 9-5) or redo the whole course for as little as £475 - also affording an opportunity for previously registered i-SKY students who did not complete their course to belatedly now do so 🧘‍♀️

"i-SKY is not an organisation it is an attitude, which individuals choose to associate themselves with (or not)." Darryl O'Keeffe reads the 2020+ statement from the i-SKY leadership team (Darryl, Guru Dharam, Livtar Llyn, Siri Sat & Ulrika) delivered on 31st August 2020 on behalf of all associated with i-sky.net and kundalinimedicine.com

14/08/2020

The final Report of An Olive Branch into historical Allegations of Misconduct by Yogi Bhajan was made public on 13th August 2020. You can find the previous i-SKY responses and a link to the final Olie Branch report at https://i-SKY.net/concerns where we will also post any further response by i-SKY in due course.

i-SKY Solstice Update June 2020

This is the first update of 2020 - but, as you may have noticed, there has been a lot going on...

The purpose of these updates is, of course, to let folks know what is going on in and around i-SKY but one of the features of life at the moment is the spectacular uncertainty about whatever is going to happen next. Uncertainty is encoded into the DNA of life but, as we try to plan our next steps, some times and situations present as more uncertain than others. The one thing I am confident in asserting is that whatever does come next - we will all begin in broad disagreement about it. Some will advocate responding to whatever presents in the "obvious" way, whilst others will strongly oppose this course as being exactly what should not be done. Our collective response begins as a three way split - for, against and with the remaining folks ignoring, or just not noticing, the challenge/opportunity. How it ends depends on how willing we each are to engage with opposing views - to influence and be influenced - to come to a common understanding - to make the journey from "me to we."
The yogi sits at the confluence of divergent viewpoints aware of each and attached to none.This does not mean s/he is indifferent, the yogi lights the way, s/he is a pathfinder, sitting at the point from which unified action can commence (or not).

UPCOMING THIS WEEKEND

DON'T MISS SOLSTICE RETREAT THIS WEEKEND (on a device near you).
Covid-19 restrictions mean we cannot offer our popular early summer event at Ufton Court in this year so instead our graduating students are offering a virtual event to the world - and it will be FREE (charitable donations suggested). The drop in program has something for everyone (including solstice sunrise from StoneHenge).

CONCERNS
Serious historical concerns about the conduct of Yogi Bhajan raised this year led to an ongoing investigation in the USA. The i-SKY response is detailed at i-SKY.net/concerns where the outcome of the investigation will also be published. https://i-sky.net/concerns On 25 May the scope of the page was widened to include the unrelated concerns raised by the movement engendered by the death of George Floyd, an African American man killed by police during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

SELF AWARENESS
It would not be an i-SKY update without a little timeless wisdom from "A Short Guide to Self Awareness" by Judy Fraser - on this occasion addressing both Fear and Denial:

Fear
It is often said that fear is a built-in defence mechanism, deliberately designed by the Creator. If we had no fear of crossing the road, for instance, we might misjudge the speed or distance of an oncoming car and get badly hurt. Despite the fact that fear can sometimes be helpful, we are trained to think of it as a negative emotion. As young children we are constantly told: “There is nothing to be afraid of” while being expected to embrace fearlessly every new experience or concept immediately. Fear, we soon come to realise, is not something to be readily admitted, rather it should be denied or hidden. Little boys are taught to puff out their chests and boast about not being afraid of anything. Girls perhaps have a little more leeway, they at least are allowed to cry! As adults, if we can view fear as an often helpful and natural control mechanism, we might learn how to work with it and perhaps even be grateful to it as a signal which warns us against overextending ourselves. Most of us become nervous, fearful or anxious when we are endeavouring to learn a new skill and similarly notice that as we become more adept and familiar, fear subsides. When this happens, as it almost constantly does when we are young and everything is new, adults will unwittingly try to divert or suppress our fear. This is another example of a case where we absorb negative vibrations. Though the adult is trying to be helpful this negative reaction to a child’s fear can be very counter-productive. It does not actually work with the fear, bring it out into the open or help the child accept it, let alone overcome it. This is what we are left to work with, as adults, both in ourselves and with our children. We must first acknowledge and accept that we (or they) are experiencing fear before we can overcome it. If our own childhood fears have been suppressed, or if we have not been in an atmosphere where it was safe to express fear, we need to re-learn our creative expression and communication. Upon acceptance, fear becomes an aid to our progress and expansion, rather than a paralysing, anxiety-producing nuisance. As we learn more about our inner working, we open to new levels of confidence and understanding. When we know more about what to expect we reduce the incidence of the unexpected having the power to bowl us over and we are more prepared to deal with unpleasant occurrences when they do arise. Ironically, when we consciously engage in self-discovery fears may seem more real, vivid and BIGGER than ever, so enormous and so plentiful that we think they can’t possibly be diluted, let alone dissolved never to return. It seems a vicious circle. We often think it better to ignore or suppress our fears (as our parents taught us), out of the fear (there it is again) that we might inadvertently be feeding fear by acknowledging it at all. Where to begin? What we must understand is that the same energy which fed rather than dispelled our fears can be used now to disperse them and rectify the imbalance. First, accept rather than deny that your fears exist. Talk about them. If you actively seek counselling, information and guidance, there will be so many of your own resources for you to process and examine, so much for you to synthesise and think about that you will notice your fears diminish as they become transformed into food for further expansion.

Denial: Facing Change
From the time we are small we are told about the world, told who we are, what we should be, what is or isn’t good for us. Especially when we are youngsters, we actively express a willingness to experience – sometimes in an open challenge, or rebellion against what has been told to us by others. We are not afraid of change; we are afraid not to change. When we are discouraged by our elders from experiencing things for ourselves, we often respond to their advice with the challenge “Who is to say that what is correct for you will be the same for me? I am not afraid to learn for myself!” It is only later, perhaps as a result of negative experiences, that we become afraid of and resistant to change. All our lives, we question the rules and regulations imposed upon us. Many of us recognise that rules – since they were supposedly designed to aid us – should be flexible. They should, ideally, be adaptable to change, as we must be, to survive the variable and complex stages of life. There is a time to question and a time to accept. When, for example, a loved person or way of life outlives its usefulness or becomes destructive to us, we need to know how to deal with the situation and that we can help ourselves to create the space to move on. When we forget that we are in the cradle of Mother Nature our reaction is one of denial. We can’t accept the change becoming apparent in our lives, yet we can’t deny it either. An internal conflict can arise, where we feel we must move on and expand, yet we are afraid of change, fearful of hurting someone (or being hurt ourselves), afraid of letting go, unsure of what may follow. We might even feel that life has suddenly lost all meaning. Shadows of the past emerge; we are uncertain and a great chasm of loneliness, perhaps inertia, overwhelms us. When we have finished a chapter in our lives we can learn to be willing to leave it. We can give ourselves permission to remove ourselves from the experience or place or person that has, in effect, died. Some of us are now reaching that stage in our awareness where we realise that many of the rules by which we have allowed ourselves (or not) to be moulded and guided have become crystallised and outdated. We see that we must establish new guidelines, perhaps even belief systems, which will further and nurture personal – and collective – growth. Looking at it from another point of view, it is much harder to see that we also impose our beliefs and projections on others. Good intentions exist on both “sides” but it is just as intolerable to impose our conditions on others as it is to have theirs imposed upon us! Again, adaptability, flexibility and open-mindedness are essential. There is no real security in the cloak of concepts and projections that many of us wear. Whether it is of our creation or others, the protection that such a cloak affords is of the flimsiest kind. Eventually we must all become free of that outer layer of conditioning, and move on and into deeper aspects of the self.

The link at the bottom is to a pdf with a collection of useful Learn Support Donate links to accompany this text from Guru Dharam & Siri Sat:

The law of Saturn decrees that “unlearned lessons” are re-presented within a cycle of 29 years.

The murder of George Floyd on May 25th, 2020, occurred nearly 29 years to the day after the American justice system failed to administer justice when Rodney King was badly beaten by five LA police officers, all of whom were acquitted of criminal charges, despite a graphic, 12-minute video recording. Black lives taken at the hands of over-zealous police are just as ghoulishly common in the US now as they were then, as officer after officer escapes accountability in the face of video evidence. This has been hideously demonstrated by the murder of George Floyd. But the subsequent demonstrations of global solidarity tell a different story. The turn of the wheel of Saturn has shifted us into the Aquarian Age, which is characterised by the collapse of old hierarchies as all our societal pillars are placed under the microscope of review. This includes the notions of justice, equality and common unity that we collectively demand are applied unilaterally irrespective of race, religion, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. The violence and outrage we have seen over the past week in the protests throughout the US from the dispossessed, the disenfranchised, the exploited, and the alienated simply reflects our collective lack of care, inclusion, and recognition of our fellow brothers and sisters. We stand for justice, we stand for equality, we stand for an end to the systemic violence against Black Americans that has existed for the last four centuries. Just as we believe we must all do our part as individuals to constantly and actively combat racism and anti-blackness, and to use our privilege to make space for those who have been unjustly relegated to the sidelines of the system, we believe it is especially important to do so as members of the yogic community - which far too often functions as a predominantly white space, despite its roots in India. We will be postponing this week’s Kundalini Cave Practice to next week in solidarity, and furthermore pledge to start (but not stop) addressing this issue within our own microcosm in the following ways: 1.We pledge to listen. If you are a Black yogi or a prospective student who has felt excluded by white spaces in the yoga world, and has the energy to let us know how we can make our spaces feel safer and more inclusive, we would love to know. 2.We pledge to help however we can. We understand there are a number of other potential barriers that might prevent a person from engaging in yogic practice. While we do not own or manage our own studio, we will do what we can to make our classes and trainings more accessible to Black yogis and yogis of colour, economically or otherwise, by sharing resources and interfacing with the studios who host us on their behalf. 3. We pledge to keep learning and supporting. We can't put it any better than so many Black journalists, authors, and activists already have, so we are including a list of links below to meaningful articles, books, and organisations to donate to that will directly support Black lives, causes, and businesses. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. Tony McDade. And so many others. We will continue to say their names. We will continue to be involved in this fight. We welcome your thoughts. Black lives matter. Black healing matters.

" I hope you’re well, healthy and in good spirits. I am doing research on the impact of yogic techniques on individuals’ subjective wellbeing pre, during and post the COVID-19 crisis. I have an MSc in Behavioural Economics and Happiness Studies (Paul Dolan was my teacher - he’s a Guru in Happiness and Public Policy) from the London School of Economics and I want to use my skills and time to give yoga the space it deserves in modern human sciences as a stress deterrent and wellbeing promoter. I am doing the study on a volunteering basis to investigate the value yoga has on people's subjective wellbeing and happiness levels. The data I am collecting via a survey will be used to write an academic paper based on empirical evidence which will be accessible for free. My aim is to produce plenty of insights to inform policymakers on the critical role yoga has played in keeping individuals physically and mentally healthy during the crisis. Find here the survey link https://cchiarpe.typeform.com/to/ck1BF2 I would really appreciate if you could do the survey and share it with your community. The more data is collected the more I can use it to back statements and the thesis. Also, people that do not practice yoga should do it for statistical purposes."

If you would like to assist (or volunteer someone else to) there are 60 brief responses required.

Our Story

Thank you for your interest in the School of Kundalini Yoga Instructors course, which is licensed by KRI, the Kundalini Research Institute of the USA, as Level 1 of the international Teacher Training Programme approved by Yogi Bhajan, recognised by the Yoga Alliance and which leads to membership of the International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association. i-SKY is based in the UK but has offered programs in Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Malaysia, Mexico and the USA. Please contact us for details of current and upcoming events and training programs. Since 1996 we have offered an annual cycle in the UK of what has proved to be a very successful and rewarding course programme.

We firmly believe that experience is the key to understanding, so we offer several opportunities to experience this course before committing to registering as a student.
