Why teachers create an event on IKYTA
Your classes deserve to be found. When you create an event on IKYTA, you place your sadhana, workshop or training in front of a community that already values Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogui Bhajan
The form is designed to respect your time. You set a repeating schedule once, add co-teachers from a list, and keep a draft until you are ready. That leaves more energy for what matters most: teaching.
- Repeat once, not every week. A weekly class needs a single entry.
- Share the stage. Add co-teachers directly from the teacher list.
- Work at your own pace. Save a draft and finish later.
- Look inviting. Add a thumbnail image and a PDF flyer.
- Reach further. Optionally list your event on 3HO.org for Premium Memberships
Create an event on IKYTA, step by step
The process has nine steps. Here they are, grouped in four short stages.
Start with your story
Everything begins in your dashboard. Open My Events and click the orange Add Event button. Two clicks, and you are in the form.
Next, tell people what your event is about. The title and description are required. The editor lets you use bold text, lists, links and pictures, so you can make your invitation warm and clear.
Add a description with what to expect, who is welcome and what to bring.
- Open My Events from your dashboard menu.
- Click Add Event.
- Write a clear title, such as “Sunrise Sadhana: Weekly Community Practice.”
- Add a description with what to expect, who is welcome and what to bring.
Set the when, the how and the where
Now give students the practical details. Choose the start and end date and time, then pick the time zone. If your event repeats, choose how often in the Repeats field. The start date counts as the first occurrence, and the schedule continues from there.
Then describe the format and add the place and your links:
- Event Mode: for example, in person.
- Event Type: for example, sadhana.
- Languages: select one or several.
- Event Address: street, postal code, country, state or region, and city.
- Web Links: your website, Instagram or any other link, as many as you like.
Bring your co-teachers and make it irresistible

Then add the finishing touches. Upload a thumbnail image (JPG or PNG max 2 MB) and, if you like, a PDF flyer that people can download and share (max 5 MB).
Save, submit and track your event
Don’t worry about missing something. The form flags any required field you have not completed. When you are ready:
- Click Save Draft to keep working later.
