Register now for Bringing Kundalini Yoga into the Healthcare Field

[Guest guest]

I am very interested in this topic. I am an RN since 1979 and a certified kundalini yoga teacher since 2006. I have not been working as a nurse since January, 2008. I have been teaching kundalini yoga in Coal City, IL. I would love to combine the two and also have an income to help my family of 5. I love teaching yoga, but finacially, I have given up a lot of my income. Spiritually, I have been enriched! How much is the course and do you help provide opportunities of work in healthcare that accepts kundalini yoga as a treatment, etc.? In the midwest, I have not found that the two; nursing care and yoga are encouraged or even accepted widely.
