Sierra Siri Prakash
Sierra Siri Prakash, also known as Sierra Siri Prakash Knolle, is an International Lead Trainer with the Kundalini Research Institute — the body that sets the global standard for Kundalini Yoga certification. Her path into this practice began in Los Angeles in the 1990s, and for more than three decades she has been deepening both her personal discipline and her capacity to transmit it to others. Today she is based in Bali, Indonesia, where the pace of island life and a rich international community of seekers provide a natural setting for the serious inner work she facilitates. She brings to her students not only technical mastery but a lineage of sustained practice that is rarely found in a field that often moves quickly.
Sierra teaches KRI-certified Level 1 and Level 2 Kundalini Yoga and Meditation teacher training programmes, intensive immersions, workshops, retreats, and both in-person and online classes for practitioners at every stage of development. Her immersion programmes in Bali sit at the centre of her offering, structured to guide students through the full body of knowledge required for professional KRI certification while also deepening their personal sadhana — the daily practice that underpins every aspect of this yoga. She has served on international trainings since 2014, including programmes in the Philippines and the United States, which speaks to the trust the Kundalini Research Institute places in her guidance.
What distinguishes Sierra's teaching is the combination of scholarly grounding and genuine warmth. She holds the rare dual designation of Level 1 and Level 2 International Lead Trainer, a credential that requires sustained mastery of yogic humanology — the study of how the mind, body and spirit operate as an integrated whole. Students and participants consistently note her joyful, unhurried teaching style and her ability to meet each person where they are, whether that is a first-time seeker or a seasoned practitioner preparing to certify and teach. Community building is woven into her work: people leave her programmes not only trained but connected to a wider global network of practitioners.
Sierra's programmes are well suited to those who want a rigorous, lineage-based introduction to Kundalini Yoga, those preparing to teach it professionally, and practitioners looking to consolidate years of personal practice into certified training. Her base in Bali means her immersions combine serious yogic study with the particular stillness and beauty of that island. Online classes make her accessible to students who cannot travel.
