The SSSC has announced an Independent Healing and Reparations Program. For more information click here.

IKYTA recognizes one National Association per country, that holds a neutral space for all teachers and trainers to connect and support each other professionally and personally. Each certified KRI Level One Aquarian Teacher is encouraged to join your NKYTA. If your country doesn't have one, teachers can join or renew their membership as an International Member directly with IKYTA.


What is IKYTA's relationship with the National Associations? There is a collaboration agreement between the National Associations (NKYTA) and the International Association (IKYTA) as we can work together and support each other to fulfill the missions of both associations. According to this agreement, the mission of the NKYTAs is to represent, nurture, unify and support Kundalini Yoga Teachers in collaboration with IKYTA so that they can teach the Kundalini Yoga Teachings as taught by Yogi Bhajan® with purity and grace in their home countries.

How can this mission be achieved?

  • By unifying and connecting Kundalini Yoga teachers through community building.
  • By communicating with their membership on all levels.
  • By promoting Kundalini Yoga teachers, events and activities.
  • By creating and fostering opportunities for member enhancement, through courses, events, etc.
  • By representing Kundalini Yoga in their home countries.
  • By upholding the Code of Ethics and providing support in the case of ethical dilemmas.
  • By possibly certifying teacher credentials (as does Yoga Alliance). NKYTAs may be the most appropriate way to do this, due to local laws and regulations.
  • By promoting Seva (selfless service).
  • By possibly providing insurance and legal help.


And you? How has your National Association helped you fulfill your purpose as a teacher? How about sharing your experience? If you feel called to share your thoughts, write to us here!
