Continuing on your Path:

The course structure includes:

• Morning check in with your small group of participants.  In this environment you will process your experiences of the course and examine in depth some important areas of the curriculum, exploring the nature of our stress identity as individuals and culturally.
   

• Kundalini Yoga Kriyas and meditations will be practiced daily.  Your course manual will include all the kriyas and meditations that you practice in class, plus a further selection of kriyas that you can use in your classes when you return home.
   

• Daily video class and meditation class with the Master, Yogi Bhajan.  These video classes are the heart of Vitality and Stress and each one explores a core theme of the module.  As part of your course materials you will receive DVD copies of the lectures presented in the course as well as printed transcripts of each lecture.
   

• In addition we will work individually, using kriyas and meditations as well as other processes to identify our stressors and provide tools to balance and uplift ourselves and others.
   

• A Home Study section to be completed during the 90 days following the completion of the course.  You will have study questions to answer, a daily meditation to practice, journaling, and three bridgeline calls with the members of your small group.
   

• Course final exam.  At the end of the 90 day post course period you will receive a multiple choice exam to complete for your course completion.  You will send your answers to your small group leader who will grade the exam and notify KRI when you have successfully completed your course requirements.
