The Kundalini Warrior program is an approach that commits to trauma-informed language, cuing, and ethics. The curriculum is intentionally designed to be a safe space for students to question anything taught, as the educators do not consider themselves "gurus" with all the answers. Kundalini Yoga teaches a blend of postures, breathwork, meditation, and mantras, drawing on practices like Kriya, Laya, and Naad yoga. The philosophy is rooted in the belief that each student is sovereign and that by embracing a more accessible and inclusive way of teaching, they can find their own unique voice and authentic expression.

Spiritual Warrior 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training

Yoga Farm Ithaca, 2026

Lead Faculty: Jeannie O'Neill, Sabrina Trapani

Although we acknowledge the breadth of knowledge of Yogi Bhajan and what he brought to the world, in this school we recognize that the roots of Kundalini Practices (Laya Yoga and Kriya Yoga), go far deeper than his lineage. It is our assertion and intention that students learn to tap into the inner light and power. This is a ‘Guru Free’ teacher training. Students are encouraged to bring in their own spiritual traditions and teach from a space that is authentic to them. It is vitally important that as yoga practitioners and teachers, we acknowledge that experiential learning, embodied practice and using our own inner guidance system is far more efficient than following a strict doctrine.
