Kevin Taylor
Team Captain
Kevin is a certified yoga instructor in the Kaiut method. Practicing a variety of yoga modalities over time, he's devoted the past seven years to Kaiut after a "vibrational experience" during his first class. "Feeling the shift happen within, I was sold." Shortly thereafter Kevin completed his teacher training, and continued his daily practice to promote inner peace, health, and well-being. Feeling the transformative impact he's received from Kaiut yoga, Kevin hopes to share it with the community of Santa Fe, and assist others in the pursuit of wellness.

Growing up in the Sikh community provided a strong foundation of spiritual and cultural values that shaped my perspective on life. For over thirty years, I have practiced Kundalini yoga, a discipline introduced to the West by Yogi Bhajan. Under his guidance, I learned to harness the transformative power of this practice, weaving together the teachings of Sikhism with the dynamic elements of Kundalini yoga. Each session has served as a journey of self-discovery and connection to a deeper consciousness, reinforcing my commitment to self-awareness and community. The rhythmic flow of breath and movement not only nurtured my individual spirit but also fostered a sense of belonging and shared purpose within the vibrant tapestry of my community. Amritjot believes Kundalini yoga holds the technology to spread awareness and vitality in this age of Aquarius.
