Level 1 & 2 Lead Trainer, USA

Picture
​Tarn Taran first met Yogi Bhajan in 1970 and Guru Dass in 1972 when he was traveling with his wife, at Yogi Bhajan’s request,  to Amsterdam to help establish Kundalini Yoga in Europe.  In 1974 they moved to Hamburg and established the first Guru Ram Das Ashram in Germany.  They went on to start a very successful Golden Temple Vegetarian Restaurant and were the original founders of the Yogi Tea Company. 

Tarn Taran Singh started the first Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training program in Europe and was was one of the originators of the European 3HO Yoga Festival.  As Kundalini Yoga spread through Europe, he became the 3HO European Regional Director.  When the Yogi Tea business started to expand internationally, he joined the management team, working both in the USA and Europe.  All the while he continued to travel and teach.

 In 2007 he joined KRI full time as the Executive Director of the KRI International Teacher Training Program where he oversaw its continued development and global expansion.  He has recently left that position in order to more fully enjoy his “golden years” traveling, teaching and making music.  He presently lives in Espanola, New Mexico.

Lead Trainer & Course Coordinator

Mahanraj  is a KRI Certified Lead Teacher Trainer.  She is  a Radiant Child Yoga Teacher and also a Sat Nam Rasayan practitioner.  She is undertaking her Level 3 Training at present. She has had an interest in yoga and anything spiritual from a young age.  She took her first yoga class at 8 years of age.  During her twenties and thirties when life got stressful she always went back to yoga classes.  She never had the desire to be a teacher until she took her first kundalini yoga class and then things started to change.  She was amazed at the connection and expansion that she experienced.  She did her Kundalini yoga teacher training with Guru Dass for her own growth but just before the end of her training her passion for the teachings and experiencing her own growth she knew she needed to share and teach this amazing technology.
She has been the representative in Australia for the International College of Kundalini Yoga and worked closely with Guru Dass since 2010 organising and been present and supporting and teaching all students undertaking their Level 1 and Level 2 trainings.  She lives in Ocean Shores in the Shire of Byron Bay with her husband and four children.  She teaches classes locally.

Brenda Rosenfeld (Deg Satya)

Brenda is a highly qualified naturopath, clinical nutritionist, medical herbalist, mentor and lecturer with more than 20 years of clinical experience.
She was an Intensive Care registered nurse for 10 years and brings her combination of medical system training and complementary therapies training to her practice, bridging the divide between orthodox medicine and naturopathy.

She focuses on the body-mind-emotional connection and the way our body reflects everything that we think and feel. Brenda understands that our bodies want to be as well as possible and can be incredible in their ability to regulate and repair themselves.

From the time of her first Kundalini Yoga class, a great and enduring love was born. She cannot imagine her life without Kundalini Yoga. Her original idea behind doing the Level 1 Teacher Training was to just dive deeper into the teachings of Kundalini Yoga for her own learning. It didn’t take long for her to realise that she “had to teach it”, especially after experiencing the support it gave her as she recovered from an injury. 
​

“Our world needs Kundalini Yoga (and Naturopathy). I believe Kundalini Yoga (and Naturopathy) can make an incredible difference to the health and wellbeing of our world and all populations. By shining our own individual light, by being kind, respectful and compassionate to ourselves, we can be that to others and we can lead by example. We’ll no longer need to be judgemental if we can learn to not judge ourselves, that we will no longer need to be unkind or disrespectful as we will learn that it starts with us first being kind and respectful to ourselves. Our bodies are the messenger and what we are experiencing is our body’s way of trying to get our attention. It is about learning to go within and learn about ourselves. It is about truly owning that we are human and that we are always doing the best we can based on what we know about ourselves, our perceptions and our conditioning in each moment. The science and technology of Kundalini Yoga gives us so many of the tools we need to develop the most important relationship we will ever have – the one with ourselves.” 
After some time consolidating her learning from Level 1 Teacher Training, she is excited to embark on Level 2 in 2024.
 
Away from her Kundalini Yoga practice and Naturopathic clinic, she loves to dance, be at or in the ocean, walk the beautiful Coogee to Bondi track or other wonderful walking trail, enjoy an adventure and loves playing board games.
 
"Ananda Devi came to Kundalini Yoga via a Universal intervention.
​  
As a result of seeking an experience to deepen her existing physical practice with greater spiritual philosophy, she embarked on Kundalini Yoga teacher training not understanding the practice at all. 
 
She lived her childhood in far North QLD, a lifestyle deeply embedded in fundamental Christian faith.  Ananda Devi’s early life was structured for living in quiet reflection, with time prioritised for communion & community, and in hindsight, she is grateful to have experienced that devotional living.  At the time though, her passion for a little more activity and open horizons saw her studying Engineering in Sydney on scholarship.  And activity & open horizons she experienced!  
 
Kundalini Yoga has offered a practice for self-knowledge & self-realisation, energy alignment & transformation.  It’s an ongoing evolving experience that will keep illuminating, clarifying and resourcing the essence of her BE-ing.  Ananda Devi seeks to live life with sensitivity, listening & imbued with Love, and with that, is still following the divine breadcrumbs of Universal Intervention.
 
Coming together in Service to All is something that sparks joy in Ananda Devi & it was a deep honour and pleasure for her to support the budding and blooming of the first three Kundalini Yoga Festivals in Australia.

Ananda Devi initially studied with Guru Dass and Sat Siri in Brunswick Heads, Australia in 2010, and continued her exploration of Kundalini Yoga with Guru Jivan, Sat Sabat, Sat Mukh and is presently studying with Tarn Taran Singh & Mahanraj.”
