Kundalini Yoga East is guided by the husband and wife team of Sat Jivan Singh and Sat Jivan Kaur Khalsa, senior teachers in the Kundalini Yoga Tradition, as taught by Yogi Bhajan. They had been living, breathing and serving the teachings of Kundalini Yoga since Yogi Bhajan himself asked them to start teaching in New York City in 1971.

SAT JIVAN SINGH

He blends his 37 years of yogic teaching and lifestyle with 34 years in the practice of law to make Kundalini Yoga relevant to his students as well as fun, invigorating, revitalizing and inspiring. In 1971 when Yogi Bhajan needed a teacher with the strength, consciousness, commitment and professional credentials to send to New York City he looked no further than Sat Jivan Singh. In addition to studying directly with Yogi Bhajan, Sat Jivan Singh served him as a trusted personal advisor and confidant over the years. Sat Jivan Singh’s students include well-known actors and actresses, corporate CEOs, Judges in the Federal, Supreme and Family Courts in addition to FBI personnel.
