NAAD & SHABAD TEACHER TRAINING
A 30-hour online immersion into
Shabad Guru, Naad and Gurmuk
There is a difference between singing a Shabad and entering the Shabad.
Many of us have chanted these words for years. We know the melodies. We recognise the mantras. We may even share them in our classes.
But what happens when we go deeper into the sound itself?
When we understand how the tongue forms the words, how pronunciation and rhythm shape the Naad, what we are actually reciting — and begin to meet Shabad Guru not simply as sacred music, but as a living teacher.
This training is an invitation to go there.
Over four weeks, Satkirin Kaur and Rupinder Kaur will guide you through Shabad Guru, Naad Technology, Gurmukhi, pronunciation, rhythm and selected Shabads — bringing together understanding, practice and the experience of sound.
November 17 – December 10, 2026
Live online + recordings | English & Spanish

What Is Naad?
Naad means the sound current — the subtle vibrational force that underlies all creation.
In Naad Yoga, sound is not symbolic. It is functional. The precise arrangement of syllables, rhythm and breath reorganises the mind and nervous system. Through repetition, listening and discipline, the practitioner experiences a shift from mental noise to inner coherence.
Shabad Guru and the Sikh Tradition
Naad Yoga is deeply rooted in the Sikh tradition, where the Shabad is understood as the Guru. Gurbani Kirtan is not performance but a sacred technology of consciousness.
When we chant with correct pronunciation and devotion, we align ourselves with the Shabad. The transformation does not come from personal effort alone. It comes through resonance with the sound current.
The Science of Mantra and Sacred Sound
Mantra works through vibration.
Each sound syllable affects the meridian points in the mouth, stimulates the brain and regulates the breath. Over time, consistent mantra meditation:
• Stabilises the heart centre
• Strengthens the nervous system
• Reduces mental agitation
• Builds resilience
• Deepens meditative awareness
Naad Yoga is both devotional and precise. It requires sincerity and discipline.
The Role of Sangat
Naad Yoga is amplified in community.
When voices merge in Sangat, the vibration expands beyond the individual. The collective field strengthens intention and steadiness. Group chanting is not louder sound — it is deeper resonance.
Ways to Practice
You may begin in different ways:
• Join the Chat & Chant Club
• Enrol in the Free Mantra Course
• Study through Naad Academy
• Work in Personal Mentoring
Consistency matters more than intensity.
A Lifelong Path
Naad Yoga is not a technique to master. It is a relationship to cultivate.
The voice becomes prayer.
The mind becomes servant.
The heart becomes steady.
