Hari Kaur (Ann Ritter), PhD

A devoted follower of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation for nearly 40 years, I have completed the Master's Touch as well as all Levels II and III certification through the Kundalini Research Institute. I am a member of the Aquarian Training Academy at the Professional level. Human systems, with emphasis on somatics, phenomenology and communication leadership, represents the core of my academic life, which I integrated with my yoga teaching and therapy practice. A sense of belonging and the related freedom to be oneself, to contribute, to grow and to create a life of meaning are what I aim to convey to students--whether in a university setting or a yoga classroom. My KY classes are suitable for beginners and advanced students/practitioners, and a mix of genders.

Specialties are yoga for women (especially for the menopause years); yoga for your back; the intersection of Kundalini and Pilates; seniors/chair yoga; and trauma protocols (Kundalini yoga therapy module).

I am certified and have taught yoga for pregnancy and preparation for child birth, and yoga for young people and children, and have completed Krishnaa Kaur's training in Yoga for Youth; I also have a yoga-for-business protocol that uses Kundalini Yoga and Meditation to help reduce public speaking anxiety for those for whom English is a second language (ESL).

Through the Institute Association of Yoga Therapists, I also am certified for one-on-one and couples work, and I have studied Sat Nam Rasayan, the Kundalini healing modality. I gratefully enjoy my work with individual with clients in addition to teaching classes.
