The Venue - Maher Maher is a caste-free, interfaith ashram, situated in the countryside around Pune/ Maharastra,

Maher began as a shelter for abandoned/abused women. Today it takes care of many women and more than 850 children. Maher is not an orphanage but is a temple of humanity that strives to create fine human beings. It is much more than a shelter. All the children receive an education and skills are taught to the women to empower them and give them income earning capacity.

Maher has received many awards and has an exemplary approach to hygiene, lifestyle and education.

The ethics of Maher are in alignment with the Teachings of Yogi Bhajan.

You will have the opportunity to interact with the staff, children, women and men living and working on site and visit projects of Maher in neighbouring villages where we share our music, our humour, our humanity.

The training will create bridges between East and West.

In 1969 Yogi Bhajan founded 3HO – the Happy, Healthy, Holy organisation, based on his first principle ‘Happiness is your birthright.’ Through 3HO and the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI), Yogi Bhajan trained thousands of Kundalini Yoga Teachers. In 1994, 3HO founded the international Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association (IKYTA), to further spread these priceless teachings through the united efforts of Kundalini Yoga Teachers worldwide.

Master of Kundalini Yoga, he arrived in the United States in 1969 with a stated mission : ‘I have come to create Teachers, not to gather disciples.’ For the rest of his life, he travelled internationally teaching Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness.
