Amrit Singh Khalsa, PhD (Amrit Khalsa, Phd)

I have been practicing and teaching Kundalini Yoga since 1989. I took my first Kundalini Yoga class in college for gym credit, and have been hooked ever since. After graduating with a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering I went to work for the Yogi Tea and Golden Temple Cereal company.

I spent more than 11 years working as an executive for the conglomerate of businesses and non-profits that includes Golden Temple, and was very lucky to have had the opportunity to meet several times a week for almost 4 years with Yogi Bhajan reviewing business items, and I love applying consciousness to doing business.

In 2007, I became a Kundalini Yoga teacher trainer, and I also moved to Santa Monica and am now working as the CFO/COO of Beanfields, an organic snack food company. I am now a lead trainer involved in Level 1 teacher trainings at Yoga West in Los Angeles, and Seventh Chakra Yoga in Huntington Beach. I also volunteer as a board member for both the Kundalini Research Institute (which oversees the teacher training programs around the world, and is preserving the recordings of Yogi Bhajan's classes and lectures in the Library of Teachings) and the Guru Ram Das Center for Medicine and Humanology (which is bringing Kundalini Yoga into the Health Care field with a new, 3 year, 1000hr Yoga Therapist training program).
