Bio: Mahan Deva Singh

Mahan Deva Singh participated in his first Kundalini yoga class in 2006. That experience was so deeply moving and transformative; it took two years to fully process it and to garner the courage to take his second class. When he finally returned, it didn’t take long for Singh to realize that as he practiced patience and self-love on his mat, those qualities came easier in his life. As he sat with discomfort on his mat, life’s more challenging moments seemed less formidable. As he experienced neutrality and expansiveness in mediation, connectivity and authenticity becomes the norm in his relationships. In 2011, he know he was supposed to teach this technology of Kundalini yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, to others, and be of service. Singh completed a one-year teacher’s apprenticeship with Siri Temple in the summer of 2012 and has begun a 1000-hour IAYT Yoga Therapy training with Shanti Shanti Kaur Khalsa, Ph. D. through the Guru Ram Das Center for Medicine and Humanology. His main focus of study has been the practical application of Kundalini yoga to support healing for trauma survivors, as well as for those suffering from anxiety and depression, recovering from addiction and processing grief. Above all, Singh believes that we are all here, in these bodies, on this planet to do our Soul’s work. He is deeply honored to have the opportunity to witness and hold space for the journey of others, whether it be in class or in consult.
