Sukhmandir in his Own Words

As a Teacher
My only role is to be a moderator of sorts. To be there to keep things relatively straight and to let people manifest. The other part is to teach what I’ve learned in my long life. I only teach the things and practices that actually work. No one has a franchise on the truth.

Why Do Kundalini?
The short answer: strengthen your magnetic field. We’ve depleted our magnetic field. It makes us much more vulnerable to illness, disease, and not-so-nice spirit energies. We have traumatic experiences and our life-force gets blocked or diverted to lower centers. Our pure inner light becomes an obsession or a leak gushing out. Seal off your leaks. It’s all the same energy. All the same light. You choose how it manifests. This practice teaches you how to move that energy.

Benefits of Kundalini
Improves your physical responses, your emotional responses, and your psychological beliefs. Achieve balance. Balance is healthy, holy. It helps you experience the culmination of what you want to do in life. It’s about not limiting yourself, about opening to knowledge that you are free.

Our Class
We are using yoga to open up the potential of every human being. That’s it. That’s the bottom line. We’re all sharing this beautiful consciousness. This will benefit anyone who is seeking to express their inner light. This has nothing to do with religion, belief, or paradigm. It only has to do with that connection with the inner light. Come to the place where the inner light is manifest. Our community is a global gathering of like-minded people that are able to support the vibration of higher consciousness, higher spiritual strength. Life-support.

Our Practice
When you come down to the level of vibratory frequency, what we apply to ourselves is what works for ourselves. Doing this practice raises your vibration. The results are immediately apparent. And anything in your life that doesn’t harmonize has to go. Lift your vibration and get on with your day. Let’s get on with it.
