Kundalini University honours the vast, cross-cultural origins of Kundalini while acknowledging the modern-day impact of how these practices have been taught. Kundalini is an inherent energy within every human body, understood and described across multiple lineages long before any one man or figure. What we share here is a living stream of practice, research, and embodied wisdom that continues to evolve.

We are committed to truth, transparency, and evolution. Unfortunately some Kundalini communities have carried the consequences of distorted power dynamics, secrecy, and unquestioned authority. We do not bypass this in KU, we meet it with honesty, and with the responsibility required to move forward differently.

At KU, we reform outdated language, dismantle rigid templates, and honour ancient roots with respect rather than replication. We cite history where possible, embrace Sanskrit and Gurmukhi to support deeper learning, and teach frameworks rooted in compassion, coherence, and self-trust so our students graduate from our trainings with an unshakable confidence in their Inner Teacher.

Our mission is to empower practitioners to discern what is right and true for themselves. We hold space for sovereignty, for nuance, and for the evolution of these teachings beyond hierarchy. We train teachers to lead with clarity, emotional intelligence, and integrity so that these teachings evolve beyond us.

This is a living lineage that shapes with your participation.

Kundalini is Kundalini (कुण्डलिनी) comes from the ancient Sanskrit root:

• kuṇḍa — “coil,” “winding,” “ring,” or “a circular vessel/fire pit”
• kuṇḍalin — “coiled,” “spiral-shaped,” or “possessing coils”
• Feminine suffix -ī — indicating a feminine energy or force

This word has been co-opted, branded, and distorted in modern contexts. Harm has occurred, especially through patriarchal structure and Guru model which has historically held an imbalance of power by male teachers and "masters." Yogi Bhajan a man sharing a version of Kundalini Yoga unfortunately joins this chain of Abuse. Physical, mental, emotional, sexual, spiritual abuse unfortunately continues to appear across spiritual, ancestral, and yogic traditions. Kundalini Univerisity promotes autonomy, ethics, discernment, and transparent education as essentials. We carry and co-create a body of diverse teachings on this platform, working with transparency, an on-going commitment to learning and growing with compassion, reverence for the human spirit and embodied integrity.

Within Kundalini University, Guru Singh’s experience and knowledge is shared as a voice of a respected elder whose spiritual depth extends far beyond his time with Yogi Bhajan. Raised in a yogic home devoted to the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, his path has always been rooted in practice, devotion, and humility. Kundalini University has no affiliation to 3HO and does not centre Yogi Bhajans teachings.
