My Kundalini Global Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training

My Kundalini Global Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training is a 220-hour professional teacher training created and taught by me.

It is for those who want to teach Kundalini Global yoga, those who want to deepen their practice, and those who feel drawn to a powerful process of self-enquiry and transformation.

You do not have to know, at the beginning, whether you want to teach. Many people come for the qualification. Many come for the personal work. Many discover, along the way, that the two are deeply connected.

Kundalini Global was created in answer to the need for yoga to be more inclusive, intelligent, boundaried and relevant to the world we are living in now.

My training works with posture, breath, meditation, relaxation, prayer, ritual, nervous system regulation, teaching skills, spiritual literacy, inclusion, self-reflection and the art of holding a room.

It is rigorous, generous, practical and deeply personal.

You will learn to teach. You will also be invited to look honestly at who you are, what you believe, what you carry, and what becomes possible when you begin to experience yourself differently.

The 2027 Training is now open for booking.

The next Kundalini Global Level 1 Teacher Training begins in May 2027.

The training is taught live over five four-day modules. You can take the whole training live online, wherever you are in the world, with the option to join me, in person, in London for two of the five modules.

The full training is recorded, edited and stored for you in a private Vimeo library, with no time limit on access.

If you’d like to read more, ask any questions you may have or take a look at the website

How old do you feel when you’re anxious? It’s a s

How old do you feel when you’re anxious?

It’s a strange question, isn’t it?

But I want you to think about it.

When you are frightened, overwhelmed, triggered, furious at the world or desperately anxious, how old do you actually feel?

Five? Seven? Twelve?

In my work, I call this dropping. When we are triggered, we can find ourselves responding to the world from a much younger, frightened part of ourselves.

The adult is still there. But the child who felt unsafe, abandoned, ashamed or helpless has taken centre stage.

And yes, beautiful person, I know.

You might say to me, “But Carolyn, have you any idea how hideous it all is? Have you SEEN the world we’re living in?”

I have. And there is plenty to feel frightened, angry and overwhelmed by.

But here is the question.

How much of your life are you prepared to hand over to your fear?

How much of your thinking and feeling is being governed by the pain of the past and the terror of the future?

And what might happen if you began to recognise those patterns, take responsibility for how you respond, and learn to make the adult YOU feel safe enough to live in the present?

You deserve a life that is not endlessly governed by the pain of the past and the fear of the future.

This is the work of deep recovery.

Mastering the Addictive Personality: The Path Out of Hell begins THIS SATURDAY, 7th November.

Seven consecutive days exploring anxiety, addiction, shame, trauma and compulsion. With practical tools, yoga, breathwork and the opportunity to design YOUR own recovery programme.

To understand what happened to you, what you’ve been doing with it, and what you now want to change.

Join me in London or live online.

We begin this Saturday. Come and join me.

I know what it is to live in the Hell of your own thinking and feeling.

I also know that you can change.

How you think.

How you feel.

How you respond to life.

And, from there, who you can become.

Imagine your mind filled with a thousand rats. If

Imagine your mind filled with a thousand rats.

If you have a tall, dark history, those rats may, from time to time, curl up together in a corner and go to sleep.

All is quiet. You feel safe. Perhaps even calm.

And then something happens. You are triggered.

Suddenly, the rats are awake. Scattering, tunnelling, racing around your mind, desperately looking for safety.

And where do they go?

Into the familiar places. Anxiety. Obsessive thinking. Compulsion. Addiction. The behaviours you have learned to use to escape how awful you feel.

The rats are looking for safety. But the places they run to may be the very things keeping you trapped in your own Hell.

So how do we begin to change this?

How do we learn to recognise our triggers, understand our patterns and work with our mind and body rather than constantly fighting against them?

And, importantly, how do we begin to feel safe enough that we no longer need to escape ourselves?

Beautiful person, this is the work I love.

Mastering the Addictive Personality: The Path Out of Hell begins THIS SATURDAY, 7th November.

Over seven consecutive days, we will explore addiction, anxiety, shame, trauma and compulsion, with yoga, breathwork, practical tools and the opportunity to design YOUR own recovery programme.

A chance to understand how you think and feel, what you want to change, and what becomes possible when you begin to take yourself on.

You do not need to identify as an addict to join me.

Mastering the Addictive Personality begins a week

Mastering the Addictive Personality begins a week on Saturday, 7th November. Seven consecutive days online, or in Battersea, London. Recorded if you can’t make it all live.

This is a deep dive into you understanding yourself. Your mind, behaviours, how the relate to your story, your body…

Perhaps you identify as an addict in recovery. Perhaps not. I regard addiction as suffering.

If you want to really get the roots of your own suffering, this is a fantastic week where my role as an embodied and forensic trauma therapist really comes to the fore as we build each person in the group their own, unique, recovery plan.

Read lots more on my website. Ask any questions you may have. I still have spaces available and would love to meet you there, if you choose to join me in the room in Battersea, or sign in via Zoom.

I’ve been running this week for over a decade. It gets universally excellent feedback. Read that on the website. You’ll find it via the link on my bio or go to carolyncowan.com

Anxiety is a form of addiction. Is that a controversial statement? I don’t think so. It’s about what you do, how you think, feel, and behave in response to triggers and to the world…

MAP is an excellent week. Running 7-13 November this year. It is both online and in person. You can pick and choose if you join me via Zoom or in the room in Battersea London.

What if you could learn to bear how you feel?

To notice anxiety without spiralling into it.

To experience an uncomfortable emotion without immediately needing to escape.

To change your relationship with yourself.

I got clean and sober when I was 31.

But it wasn’t until I was 45 that I really began to understand how anxious I was.

I had stopped acting out. No more drugs, no more alcohol, no more of the extraordinary chaos that had been my life.

But I had simply found another way to manage how awful I felt.

I was acting in.

Anxiety. Obsessive thinking. Compulsion. The relentless need to control and protect myself from a world I did not trust.

I was sober, yes. But I had not yet found deep recovery.

And this is something I find fascinating about addiction. We tend to focus on the thing we are addicted to, rather than asking why we need it in the first place.

What are we trying so desperately not to feel?

What if we could begin to understand the roots of our thinking, feeling and behaviours, rather than endlessly finding new ways to escape them?

And what if, from there, we could actually change?

This is what I offer on my training.

Mastering the Addictive Personality: The Path Out of Hell is seven consecutive days of exploring addiction, anxiety, shame, trauma and compulsion.

Together, we will look at what drives your patterns, learn tools to change how you feel and, importantly, you will design YOUR own recovery programme.

Not somebody else’s idea of recovery. Yours.

You do not need to identify as an addict to come. You may simply be tired of living in the relentless noise of your own thinking.

And perhaps ready to discover who you might become without it.

Mastering Addiction – The Path Out of Hell 7th – 1

Mastering Addiction – The Path Out of Hell 7th – 13th November 2026

Online or in person in London. Read full details on my website, carolyncowan.com

If you are a yoga teacher, therapist, facilitator

If you are a yoga teacher, therapist, facilitator or practitioner who wants to work in prisons, rehabilitation, recovery or other trauma-informed settings, understanding addiction matters.

Not just the behaviour but also the shame underneath it.

The anxiety.
The compulsions.
The safety mechanisms.

The ways a person learns to regulate, escape, numb and cope.

Mastering the Addictive Personality is not only for people who identify as addicts.

It is also for people who want to work more intelligently, compassionately and effectively with those who do.

If you want your teaching to go deeper than technique, this week is for you.

7–13 November

I am long term sober from drugs, alcohol and gambl

I am long term sober from drugs, alcohol and gambling.

My experience is that the path I walk is often in need of an upgrade.

An upgrade in how you meet anxiety.
Compulsion.
Addiction.
Shame.
The patterns you keep finding yourself inside.

Mastering the Addictive Personality is a week of looking beyond an ability to managing the problem, towards what becomes possible when you begin to understand yourself differently.

7–13 November.

If you are ready for more than coping, come and join me. It is both online and in person in London. Up to you. Do a mix! A fabulous group forms for this each time. It is glorious.

What if your life could be so much bigger than you

What if your life could be so much bigger than you currently believe is possible?

I talk a lot about shame. Anxiety. Addiction. Trauma. The patterns we repeat, the behaviours we cling to, the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we can expect from life.

And i do not negate the importance of these things. Not for a moment.

But I don’t do what I do simply to help people understand why they suffer.

I do what I do because of who we might become when we l no longer organise ourselves around our suffering.

It can be so easy to hold on to the victim position. To see ourselves through the lens of what happened to us. To allow our past to dictate the possibilities of our future.

And I am not suggesting that what happened to you doesn’t matter.

But what if it doesn’t have to define the size of your life?

My life is gigantic. Not because it has been easy, or because I haven’t suffered, but because I choose to see possibility. I choose to participate in my life.

And this is really what my work is about.

Not just understanding the addictive personality, the anxious mind or the shame we carry, but exploring the extraordinary possibility of being human.

Who might you become if you stopped believing that this is all there is?

My seven-day training, Mastering Addiction: The Path Out of Hell, is an invitation to explore exactly this.

7th–l-13th November 2026. In person in Battersea, London, or online.

You do not need to identify as an addict to come. You simply need to be curious about what might be possible.
