This module is like a spark or the lighting of a match. It’s the start of a new cycle, a new beginning. This experience prepares and opens the psyche to the process of Self initiation and awakening of consciousness. The body is purified, and the mind gradually begins to stabilise.
The essential and fundamental techniques are well assimilated for the rest of the experience.

- Meet peers who share the same motivations, passions and interests in life and a group that will support you through this journey !
Why join us?
Our work is based on several fundamental elements:
Respect for the Tradition. We consider that without REVERENCE for where we come from there is no possibility of growing on a healthy basis because the reactivity of the subconscious will always take over. We respect the millennial lineage that has brought these teachings to us today. The gratitude of receiving this spiritual influx brings us closer to the wisdom of those great souls who have lived and integrated the teachings through the ages.
Collective intelligence. We are a TEAM of teachers: 3 lead trainers + a team of associate trainers. This allows us to reflect on a wider range of teaching and allows students to not get hung up on the personality of a teacher but rather on the essence of the teachings. This collective intelligence always emerges within the groups thanks to residential situations and participation in morning practices (sadhana) and daily tasks (karma yoga).
Intuition and creativity. The teachings are never presented in the same way twice, they respond to the ENERGY OF THE INSTANT and the burning questions of the students. The kriyas are selected according to the themes that emerge from the group. The content is adapted according to the specific needs that are identified within the team of trainers. The manual is used as a basic resource for the participants but we use it very little as a support to avoid that the understanding is only mental but a lived experience.
Pedagogical follow-up. Our training is HUMAN SIZE: it is possible to interact, ask questions and the teachers are accessible. There is a follow-up in study groups between modules which allows for continuity and integration of the transformation that has taken place during the intensive weeks. An individual interview with a lead trainer takes place at the beginning and end of the training.
Ashram-type immersion. We privilege PHYSICAL PRESENCE for the modules. This allows us to dive much deeper into the transformation of the subconscious mind and to build strong bonds of trust within the group.
Live music. As much as possible we play the music live with the musicians present.
APPLY NOW
This training is designed for those who wish to discover or deepen the path of Kundalini Yoga in a complete, rigorous and integrated way. This course provides the theoretical and practical technical elements needed to apply this technology in everyday life and to start embracing the profound transformation to which this path gives access.
In a process of self-initiation, you take on the responsibility of sharing these practices or taking on the role and responsibilities of a teacher if you feel ready. The International Yoga School “Ajai Alai Awakening” provides a 120-hour Yoga Training certificate after completion of all 3 Foundation modules.
Our Students testify:
Your teachers
She taught for many years in Austria before she began traveling to share her passion for the teachings. Sat Sarbat's motivation has always been the call to joy and conviviality. This is why she has always traveled with her husband, Satmukh, to wherever the teachings have called them, making herself available to all those who sincerely wish to improve their lives through introspection and practice.
Especially inspired by numerology, she offers private numerology consultations and training in this field.
Especially inspired by numerology, she offers private numerology consultations and training in this field.
But her favorite program is the SunChild, a teacher training initiated by herself and further developed over the years with Satmukh. The SunChild is addressed to all those who want to support children to live light and authentically; those who wish to reestablish a healthy relationship with their own childhood and inner child; and finally, to those who wish to teach yoga to kids.
Over the years, driven by the desire to gain tools for every possible need and request, Sat Sarbat has kept exploring and seeking certification in several other techniques:
- Gurdjieff's movements (an exceptional tool for developing presence and awareness);
- Grief Recovery by the Grief Recovery Institute of New York (certified coach);
- Tarot reading by Michel Camoin;
- Felicitas Goodman's ecstatic shamanic posture work;
- The Journey (Brandon Bay's healing work).
- Bert Hellinger's family constellations and Peter Orban's Symbolon archetypes (certified coach);
- Dieter Rehberger's PME Technique of Somatic Movement, a holistic method for promoting human health (certified coach);
- Trust Technique, to increase the trust of humans and their animals by James French and Shelley Slingo.
- Hypnotherapy from Cornwall School of Hypnotherapy (certified coach).
Sat Sarbat is a KRI-certified Lead Trainer in Levels 1 and 2 and Mentoring Lead. She mentors and supports trainers-in-training and is currently a member of the GEC (Global Ethics Commission). She desires to serve and give back what she was blessed to receive.Sat Sarbat encountered Kundalini Yoga in 1999 after an initial phase of life that was intense, adventurous, full, and very rich but also difficult and painful. The teachings opened a door for her, and she committed generously, without hesitation and reservation, to this new path. She studied with devotion all that was available: Sat Nam Rasayan, Numerology, Yoga for Children, and Conscious Pregnancy.
Sat Sarbat has the ability to touch by making spiritual teachings accessible and resonating in one's life. She exudes an unconditional love that allows masks to dissolve with grace.
Deeply inspired by the teachings of Kundalini Yoga and Sat Nam Rasayan, Satmukh has travelled around the world for over 15 years to share them and instil a sense of community and service. Today, he and his wife Sat Sarbat have settled in the wilderness of southern Austria. More sedentary, he teaches online and mainly in Europe face-to-face. Satmukh and Sarbat also welcome groups to their home to experience in depth the alchemy of the 5 elements and inner silence.
Satmukh is passionate about Tantric numerology and offers individual coaching to dissolve the veils and patterns of the subconscious mind embedded in our fears and beliefs. Together with Sat Sarbat, they have created an online training to use this tool in different healing and coaching contexts.
He also offers the "SunChild" programme to teach Kundalini Yoga to children, to provide a space for adults to "reconnect" and to manifest a transmission to children that supports their uniqueness and innocence!
To deepen his path as a Yogi, Satmukh has followed other teachings as his inspirations such as Agnihotra: Agni, the fire, has always had a central place in his teachings of transformation and discernment, Gurdjieff's Sacred Dances and Sufism, Felicitas Godman's Shamanic Ritual Postures (Certified Instructor) and also Somatic Movements as a source of alignment, healing, vitality and relaxation (Certified Instructor and personal coach).
Satmukh is a Lead Trainer and Mentoring lead at the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI). In 2012, he and Sat Sarbat founded the Ajai Alai Awakening school. This school has evolved over time and today offers a space to explore and update the Kundalini teachings through one's own resonances while remaining true to the tradition. We also believe that a committed relationship with a teacher and a community where we can be authentic are essential to connecting our truth.
