Yogi Bhajan PhD, Master of Kundalini Yoga, arrived in the United States in 1969 with a stated mission: "I have come to create Teachers, not to gather disci-ples". Since then he travelled internationally teaching Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness.

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 world-wide.
