Description
On Monday, November 23, 2026, Guru Singh will gather at Universidad Nacional de Río Negro in Bariloche for an exploration of Mass Violence, Genocide, and Their Lasting Impact on Indigenous Peoples—a session that weaves traditional Kundalini yoga practice with extended teachings on yogic philosophy, meditation, and the application of ancient wisdom to contemporary life. This gathering in Bariloche represents a significant moment for consciousness work rooted in the yogic lineage of Yogi Bhajan, brought to this region of Argentina with intention and depth.
A session typically includes guided kriyas—structured sequences combining breathwork, movement, and mantra—alongside philosophical discourse drawn from yogic texts and Guru Singh's decades of study. Expect Sanskrit chanting, pranayama exercises, and teachings that explore the relationship between consciousness, energy, and the subtle body, all contextualized within the profound themes this particular gathering addresses.
His approach is notably philosophical rather than fitness-focused. While physical postures are part of Kundalini practice, the emphasis remains on breath, sound, and internal energetic shifts. He draws heavily from his work through Kundalini University and the teachings compiled in his book Buried Treasures, often connecting yogic concepts to universal themes of awareness, transformation, and spiritual awakening—particularly relevant when exploring historical trauma and indigenous resilience.
The atmosphere at Universidad Nacional de Río Negro will tend toward introspective and ceremonial rather than fast-paced or performance-driven. This gathering is designed for those already interested in yogic philosophy, meditation practice, or exploring consciousness through traditional spiritual frameworks. It's not an entry-level yoga class or a high-energy movement experience. If you're unfamiliar with Kundalini terminology, mantra repetition, or extended breath practices, expect a learning curve. Those seeking purely physical exercise or secular mindfulness may find the lineage-based spiritual framing less accessible.
