Tarn Taran Singh
​Level 1 & 2 Lead Trainer, USA

​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.

Mahanraj Kaur

Professional Trainer & Course Coordinator

Mahanraj  is a KRI Certified Professional 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.
