Guru Singh is a celebrated third-generation yogi, master spiritual teacher, author, and musician.
Guru Singh teaches conscious living through the tools of Humanology, Kundalini yoga, meditation, and sacred sound. He was born in Seattle in 1945 into a yogic spiritual household to a artist father and musician mother. His teachings grew from an esoteric curiosity inspired by his family’s deep connection to the masters of India and the blessings of being ready when teachers appeared.
Paramahansa Yogananda was his first teacher. Guru Singh’s great-aunt met Yogananda in Calcutta in 1916 and travelled with him from India to America in 1919. She studied with and served him until his passing in 1952.
In January 1969, Guru Singh met Yogi Bhajan, a spiritual leader from northern India and master of Kundalini yoga. From that moment on Guru Singh has been studying and teaching Kundalini yoga and meditation, a science taught in India for over five thousand years. He has spread this ancient science with passion and a practical fusion of Eastern mysticism into Western pragmatism.
Guru Singh’s books, music, yoga/meditation classes, blog posts, podcasts, and humanology lectures uplift thousands worldwide. Based in Los Angeles at Yoga West and Golden Bridge yoga studios, while traveling the world, he also teaches Kundalini Level I and II teacher training courses. He meets students privately for consultations and sound healing sessions when in Los Angeles.

I practice and teach both Hatha and Kundalini yoga. I see my hatha practice as daily maintenance – a great way to work out kinks in my body, get grounded and calm. My Kundalini practice is a place of transformation. The kriyas and meditations are much more specific than your regular flow class; much like an Iyengar practice but rather than focusing on physical alignment the kriyas are a specific set of exercises that generate energy, organize that energy and deliver you to a specific energetic state – particularly one of greater awareness. Within the practice are built in moments of stillness where we sit q speilling uietly and awaken to our Self. The breath-work within the kriyas is so powerful that it starts to strip away the layers that veil our consciousness, and in the sweet moments between poses we can sense the fullness of who we are. The kriyas work on strengthening your nervous system, balancing your glandular system, purifying the body, and calming the mind.
I have practiced kriyas that have left me blissed out, high and filled with a sense of connection and joy and others that have provoked and confronted me to the very core of who I am, both physically and mentally. I have learned to stay present, and accept pleasure and pain as part of 
the same journey to health and balance. Our ego naturally leans towards pleasure and comfort. It takes a disserted effort and discipline to begin to release the ego’s grip on our consciousness. This effort is the work required to begin to access the truth of who we are, to create a strong connection to our Soul and therefore our Soul’s work on this planet. It is where we start to make great strides toward living as an enlightened being.Kundalini yoga is not to be taken lightly, it is like an express train that shakes and wakes you up. I often say to students that you cannot stay the same when you practice Kundalini yoga. The very nature of what we do is to awaken the energy of consciousness, to practice in a way that sheds light on our self-imposed limitations, and invites us to think out of the box, and develop our Intuitive mind. Being able to live from our intuitive mind is one of the main goals of a Kundalni practitioner.
I had done some meditation before practicing Kundalini yoga, but it had always been elusive for me. Meditations within Kundalini yoga are multi-faceted. You can do the simplest forms like breath awareness or simple mantra, or there are more elaborate ones where there is a specific breath, mantra and mudra that all work together to balance different aspects of the mind and body. When practiced for 40 – 120 days the result is pure magic. I sincerely encourage you to have an experience of Kundalini yoga for yourself. It will add depth to your existing practice and to your life.
