JAI RAM KAUR
Jai Ram is a Kundalini Yoga Lead Practicum trainer and Karam Kriya applied numerology trainer and consultant. She is also a certified Conscious Pregnancy teacher and trainer and founder of Small Blessings Yoga.
Growing up in Perth, she initially studied a Bachelor of Arts at UWA, followed by several years living in New Zealand and then a Bachelor of Arts in Dance at WAAPA.
Having engaged in meditation and spiritual teachings since her late teens, including in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Jai Ram set off to India in 2000 to explore the world and herself.
In South India, she met her German future husband. She had her first in depth experience with Kundalini Yoga in 2001 in France, where she also met her teacher Shiv Charan Singh for the first time. She went on to live in Berlin for the next 9 years, where all 3 of her children were born.
During this time Jai Ram also completed her 3 year Karam Kriya training with her teacher, Level 1 Kundalini Yoga training and began teaching classes.
The family move back to Jai Ram’s hometown of Perth in 2009 and have been there since.
Though she teaches all kinds of classes and people, women’s teachings, pregnancy and postnatal yoga have always been Jai Ram’s specialties and passions. Her own rapid and total entry into family life led her to seek a way of living that sees this householder’s life as the path to self-realisation itself, rather than a diversion from it.
Nowadays she teaches through intensive courses, both in person and online, Karam Kriya courses and training, Level 1 and 2 Kundalini Yoga training programmes and Conscious Pregnancy training programmes.
She is available for one on one consultations. You can read more about Jai Ram’s story on the blog.
She says..“I am here to serve you on your journey of becoming. The vision of Grisht Ashram has been with me for many years. In the centre of a courtyard with doors on all 4 sides is a fountain. That fountain bubbles and flows infinitely. It is the source of all life. It is the flow of spirit. Endlessly nourishing. All the birds and animals, children and adults come there to drink and have their deepest thirst quenched. The teachings point us back to this source, time and again. You see the outer fountain to ultimately recognise, it is within YOU, inside your very own ribcage. Pouring love to you from inside of you.
We live in a rather barren spiritual landscape in the West. A desert. When I said to my teacher on our first meeting that I wanted to serve in undeveloped countries, there where there is poverty, he said maybe your mission is to serve in the west where there is spiritual poverty. That’s what needs attention.
These words move me to this day. Through its offerings, may Grisht Ashram, school for the householder, you and me, be an oasis of spiritual nourishment for all who come.”
