Sirgun Kaur (Kim)

Sirgun Kaur has lived in Austin all her life. She began practicing various forms of yoga and meditation in 1972 after she was introduced to Hatha Yoga in high school. Sirgun found Kundalini Yoga in 2003 during the Free Day of Yoga and was so touched by the class that she realized Kundalini was exactly what she had been searching for all these years. She and her husband, Richie (Bir Singh), have both been practicing regularly ever since.

Sirgun began teaching at Yoga Yoga after completing the 200-hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training program, along with her husband. She loves teaching at Yoga Yoga because she feels so at home and supported, constantly inspired by her students and fellow teachers. Her classes are fun and challenging with a very positive energy. She encourages students to go beyond their self-imposed boundaries, while still listening to their bodies, offering modifications and working within her students’ limits. Sirgun offers breath work and meditation to help students get in touch with their infinite and beautiful selves, face their problems and challenges, and relax and enjoy a better life. Sirgun is currently in Kundalini Level II training and plans to pursue several other types of yoga certification.

Sirgun loves taking classes from visiting teachers to learn more and strives to pass on her love and knowledge of yoga to anyone who wants to practice. “I love the fact that yoga keeps me young at heart, open minded, and increases my health and vigor daily. I love connecting to my infinity and finding that calmness and stillness within.” Her teaching is influenced most by Yogi Bhajan, the master of Kundalini yoga, Mehtab, Guru Karam Kaur, Siri Bahadur Singh and Guru Dev Singh of Yoga Yoga, Gurucharan Singh, Shakti Parwha Kaur, Gurmukh Kaur, and Paramahansa Yogananda.

When she is not enjoying the company at Yoga Yoga, Sirgun makes jewelry, gardens, cooks (she and Bir cater the Yoga Yoga Teacher Training retreats), and enjoys art and music of all kinds.
