Suspension: The individual cannot serve as a KRI certified teacher or an ATA credentialed teacher trainer, and cannot represent KRI, 3HO, IKYTA, NKYTA, or SDI. Other restrictions and/or requirements may be included. After a specified period of time the individual may apply for Reinstatement. Reinstatement typically includes an at least two-year Probation period.
Revocation (formerly “Permanent Suspension,” “Indefinite Suspension”): Permanent revocation of KRI credentials – The individual is permanently prohibited from representing KRI, IKTYA, SDI or 3HO in any matter and from teaching Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. If the individual is a Sikh Dharma minister, their title and ministry status is terminated. Any status in the KRI Aquarian Trainer Academy is permanently revoked. Revocation, for the safety and wellbeing of the community and Kundalini Yoga students, prohibits the individual from ever teaching KYATBYB anywhere. Revocation may also bar attendance or teaching any subject at major events such as Solstice, Yoga Festival, etc. Such exclusions apply as their presence at such events could pose safety risk for other attendees and retraumatize those who were harmed.
Termination: Permanent termination of SDI Ministerial credentials.
