Kundalini Illuminated Residency
direct connection to spirit and soul
KUNDALINI ILLUMINATED is the woven ritual of yoga. Ancient lineages and contemporary teachings reveal ILLUMINATION as the pathway of Kundalini Shakti, a universal life force that bridges mysticism with modern relevance to generate embodied consciousness and attuned presence. This multidisciplinary residency charts a unique course through Kundalini Yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, Tantra, and Social Advocacy.
This is a calling to be of service in the world, to strengthen your soul’s resonance, and be in sacred reciprocity with life.
KUNDALINI RESIDENCY is a 10-month immersion online or in-person at TEMPLE MILE END. The residency flows like the evolution of a flower from MATURATION to TRANSMISSION. Each month is a progressive experience of extensive teachings, practices, and self-study with integrative time to build an authentic personal Sadhana (spiritual practice). From this foundation, we explore the technology of transmission and learn how to share heart-centred offerings with skill, integrity, and leadership. Attune your subtle, mental, physical, and radiant bodies with a close-knit community, mentorship, online classes, and nourishing space to support your growth and confidence with everlasting tools.
A TEACHER’S EXPLORATORIUM: this empowerment program is open to all students of experience and backgrounds, though it is recommended to have an initial training in Hatha yoga, After 222 + hours of study and coursework you’ll receive a 200 hour Yoga Alliance Certification in the way of KUNDALINI ILLUMINATED.

the art of Becoming
and, in one single moment of intention, that spark was given form.
and in that single moment of becoming whole,
all infinite moments of before
became clear.
and you were illuminated once more.

Kimiko Tao Fujimoto
I’ve been a devotee of Kundalini Shakti for over 14 years; and in service of the sacred pulse of life for over 41 years. I found yoga at the age of 20 in search of great mysteries I could have never guessed would come to find me… Since 2006, I’ve been a space holder for yoga that’s manifested in multiple studios, teaching thousands of classes, creating innovative teacher trainings in hatha vinyasa, restorative, and yin, and mentoring hundreds of students and teachers. This Kundalini Residency is my illumination filled with a multiverse of the many ways yoga has transformed my life with purpose and agency. Inscribed in the manual and upon these offerings are the workings of my master teachers: Shiva Rea, Sianna Sherman, Christopher Tompkins, Gurmukh and Sally Kempton. This residency is the culmination of a long love affair with creativity and mysticism, and an enduring studentship to yoga. Kundalini Yoga unleashes a vibration so evolutionary it can dismantle supremacy and scarcity mindsets, and reform the way we understand wellness, representation, and advocacy. It is an essential technology and tool that can help us shift through the ages and relearn how to live in sacred reciprocity, embracing the cycles of life with insight and tenderness, and honouring the lineages past, present and future. If you’d like to meet we can schedule sometime to speak of what’s in our hearts and see if this the residency for you…
