“I can attribute my growth in my Kundalini Yoga practice from attending Patrick’s 40-day Boot Camp. Patrick’s unyielding dedication, focus and strength as a teacher encouraged and inspired me to ‘keep-up’. I found that (the bootcamp) was the tool to solidify my commitment.” —Beth Beljon., Los Angeles, CA
YBC40 is an online forum for Kundalini yoga, Kundalini Gong Meditation and Personal Awareness so that the individual may achieve self-mastery. It is also the home of The Kundalini Yoga Boot Camp and schedule of classes taught by Kundalini Yoga Instructor Patrick Lacho.
How this all came about: Once I finished the Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training certification, I began to teach soon after because I had gotten so much from kundalini yoga in the way of self-mastery, that I really wanted to give back some of the wisdom of my experience. After teaching a few classes I realized that this stuff isn’t actually being taught by me, but rather is coming through me. I realized that my life experience is the package that the teachings are delivered in. Having gone to West Point, and served as an army officer I knew that these life lessons I had gained would help others who desire to take themselves to a higher level of play in their lives. The self-discipline and leadership that I learned in the military fit perfectly with the yogic sciences of marshalling the mind through perseverence and intention backed by will power. I started to see parallels between the military training I had received and the way in which this technology of kundalini yoga gives the individual the leverage of mind to foster change in their entire being. Specifically I realized that a 40 day meditation, which allows a person to break a habit just by doing it over that period of time had much in common with military basic training or boot camp, which is also about six weeks or 42 days long. That thinking was the impetus for this program.
Where it is now: Once I created the program and took some groups through it a few times, it occurred to me that this website has the potential to reach millions of people around the world, most of whom might never make it to a class. The teachings have their own power and I realized that in this age of instant digital communication, I could create an online forum and community for those seeking self-mastery, including, but not limited to kundalini yoga and meditation. I have been expanding this site considerably over the last months and I plan to add greatly to it– especially adding meditations and yoga sets with audio and video instruction, which individuals can practice at home.
The YBC40 blog is where you can find a wealth of information and articles about kundalini yoga, kundalini meditation, Sound healing, Gong Meditation,
general philosophy, words of wisdom, vegan and vegetarian recipes and more. There are a lot of ways in which you can use this site to enrich your life physically, mentally, and spiritually using meditation and yoga to enhance health, happiness and wholeness. Have a look around and enjoy the site.
