Tejpal:

 – Why do I practice Kundalini Yoga?

After years of exploring and experimenting with many spiritual practices from different traditions, Kundalini yoga supports my connection to my true essence. It was clear to me, after my very first class, that Kundalini Yoga would become the core of my daily spiritual practice. 

  • Why do I you teach it?

We live in a world of radical chaos where the linear mind becomes over stimulated. From there many distortions occur: depression, anxiety, isolation, addiction, to name a few. The practice of Kundalini yoga creates radical shifts toward oneness by transmuting deep limiting patterns in one’s life. Teaching Kundalini Yoga helps me go deeper into my own practice, and it gives me deeper meaning to my life purpose.

“Keep Up!”

Ramgeet has been practicing Kundalini Yoga and Meditation since 1994 and teaching since 2015.

I became a teacher to “Keep Up”, to serve when a teacher was needed and be the teacher I needed myself. We begin class by chanting to invoke the wisdom and grace of the lineage. I’m so honored be a link in the chain, both as a teacher and as a student. We are all students and we are all teachers. We lead by example and uplift each other as we practice together.

We also tune into the Divine wisdom that we all have within ourselves. No matter what the teacher at the front of the room is doing or saying, I hope I can encourage everyone to Listen to and Trust what best serves their physical bodies at that moment. That might be pushing harder, modifying or only visualizing the posture in the mind. We develop our intuition to be our own best teachers.

An Arizona native, Ramgeet studied ecology and botany. Currently she makes spice mixes for people to make Mexican mole sauces at home, dances (mostly salsa, bachata, contra, 5 Rhythms) and gathers wild plants.

Barb Piasecki

(SANT SAROOP)

Sant Saroop

Barb began teaching at age 12, when she was hired to teach Catholic religious studies to a 6 year old boy with autism.

She expanded her practice the following year coaching a boy’s “6 man” flag football team. It was during those fabulous football seasons that she realized the joy of motivating people to show up, keep up, and do their personal best. At age 16, Barb, and her sister, Joan, began organizing and leading week-long canoe trips for other teen-aged girls. She continued to organize extended wilderness trips including expeditions to the Arctic. For 26 years, as a middle and high school math and science teacher, Barb helped teenagers connect to their gifts and personal power, through compassion, connection, creativity, engaged learning, and so very much humor. After 20 years of a strong Hatha Yoga practice, the discovery of Kundalini Yoga in 2006 was the most beautiful lightning bolt of a gift from the Universe for her. Barb says, “It changes my life everyday in some way.” Sant Saroop has been teaching Kundalini Yoga since 2006. Along with the Kundalini Yoga tradition, she has studied many teachers from other traditions including Pema Chodron, Tara Brach, Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, Gary Zukav, Dzigar Kongtrul, Anthony de Mello, and many others.

“All life is Yoga”

Libby grew up in India and lived 28 years in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

“Growing up and breathing spirituality in everyday life is a gift of many lifetimes.” Leaving India, Libby moved to Germany.  “At a time when I was going through depression, I had my first Kundalini Yoga experience. It brought me a wholesome, balanced feeling of connectivity and bliss. Soon I was attending class regularly and began practicing on my own. Kundalini Yoga with its unique blend of Mantra, Kriya, Pranayam and Meditation, is for me the fastest, most effective way to becoming ‘real’. Kundalini Yoga tunes my body and nourishes my spiritual roots, bringing Prana, health, and joy into my life. It is from this place of joy and deep reverence that I wish to share the technology of Kundalini Yoga with all.”

Libby began practicing Kundalini Yoga in 2008. In 2012 Libby took her Kundalini Yoga Level 1 Teacher Training in Germany.  In 2020 she renewed her Level 1 Teacher Training at Yoga4AllTucson. She has been teaching since January 2021. Libby works serving as a caregiver. Libby enjoys the outdoors, pet and garden sitting, cooking, and building community through practicing Yoga.
