Hari Kaur Khalsa

Hari Kaur Khalsa trained me to teach Kundalini Yoga. At the time, I was struggling with addiction, and she held space. I couldn’t really see myself, and she helped me soften my stance. She is a light for the practice in New York City, her generosity and wisdom will always influence my ways of seeing and being.

What’s your favorite part of your work?

Sharing the meditative space with students and peers and participating in the evolutionary process

Whats the least favorite part of your job?

Nothing. All is perfect.

What still excites you and keeps you engaged with teaching yoga?

Continuous practice, exploration, and study. Sharing discoveries. Training new teachers and helping them grow and succeed. Enjoying and witnessing the transformational power of kundalini every day.

If you didn’t teach yoga, what else would you do?

As my mother Gloria was dying I asked her that question. She said she would have been a rock and roll singer. That’s my answer too.

What’s your finest advice for a newer teacher?

Practice. Study. Crystallize. Become a diamond. Become wise. When you and your teacher meet, it is like a sculptor’s hammering striking a stone. Let the sparks fly. Uncover your Self.

Evolutionary biology or God(s)?

However you now label the beauty and infinite nature of wisdom and consciousness, keep searching for the right words that work for you. Stay curious and keep an open mind. If you open your mind, you will explore new states of consciousness and find what you seek.
