Nine Treasures Yoga was founded by Tej Kaur Khalsa, a longtime teacher of Kundalini yoga and a student of Yogi Bhajan for over three decades. I was brought to the teachings of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation through a USC psychology experiment in 1972.
Having studied counseling to heal people from their troubles, I realized after my first three months of yoga training that the practice took me light years ahead of anything else in a very short time.So fascinated was I by it all, I began a side hobby of transcribing and archiving the teachings. This quickly became my passion for decades, a way to saturate and submerge myself in the subtle essence of it all.

In their hearts, people will understand what is going on. They may not find words to express themselves, but one day they will. That day they will like to uplift fellow beings. The walls of hatred will fall down. Instead of ill will and gossip, there will be prayer on the tongues of everyone. Rather than competing for wealth, people will compete for spiritual growth.

Tej is one of two major lineage holders of the Golden Chain of Kundalini Yoga. Master of the Archives, she is an absolute powerhouse and repository of esoteric knowledge. Tej dedicates every waking hour to sharing these teachings accurately and helping everyone she can. Nine Treasures Yoga is a gift from her to humanity... Thank you, Tej!!!!! Sat Nam 🤍🌈⚡️

Tej is a true O.G.
Hailing from the arranged marriage, 1970's, Yogi B golden years. Her eccentric often superstitious prophetic explanations for why life gets nuts at times are the highlight of the whole class experience for me. She's a hoot and loveable to boot. Like a fairy godmother of sorts. You got a problem? She's got answers. She single handedly got me through my early years in LA. I was one of those deer in headlights types that sat in the front row and hung on her every word. I was hooked!
And to see these younger hip celebrity Kundalini teachers coming up with their east

This class is truly one of the best things about LA ! The community is so welcoming , and Tej channels the energy from the high teachers like no other ; ). The experience is really beyond words. Tej's classes have a way of opening your heart and giving you the energy and optimism to be bright and light; even when the world around is not so shiny! Hugs & Sat Nam

Sat nam....I first met Tej, Kundalini Yoga Master & Therapist in the late 90s when she taught at Goldenbridge Yoga small studio near CBS studio. I can recall how awkward I felt, being the opposite of the "normal" fem women in that studio. I have always been the "boy on a motorcycle " in a group of women, and Tej has a way to get anyone like me past the fear, past the wanting to disappear. I was severely bullied since young and her wisdom, her energy, her low key humor and her guiding transformative flow is special. I recall assisting teachers on retreats like Paulo Mattiolli

I walked into 9 Treasures Yoga in the winter of 2015 with a friend who was visiting from out of town that requested we go there. Little did I know that meeting Tej Khalsa would become such a fulfilling and life changing experience. I decided to stick with the class because each experience was so different and beautiful and I felt like the yoga, breathework, and mediation would help me improve as an athlete. Little did I know that Kundalini Yoga would not only transform me physically but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. What started as "supplemental training" for me soon became

Tej is a magnificently connected and gifted teacher. She connects to her divine self and then, re-connects with her class. I feel that she is an advocate of teaching others to adore “the teachings” not necessarily the teacher because after all, we are all students and teachers in Life. Her devotion to her practice and classes have certainly enriched my practice and my life.

My wife and I love Nine Treasures. Each class is good for the body, mind and soul. Whether you're an experienced Kundalini practitioner OR a beginner who doesn't even know the word "kundalini," you'll get something positive out of the classes. I've tried other classes in other places: sometimes they're too stone-cold serious, sometimes way too airy and not grounded at all, sometimes they're not welcoming -- but Tej has cultivated an environment that's just the right blend. You'll feel welcome. You'll also feel challenged -- all in a friendly

Tej is a treasure to be cherished. Each class is akin to a workshop and you will feel as though you have worked through lifetimes of karma and upgraded your energy to another dimension. Her teachings are incredibly pure and powerful! She is the custodian of the archives of all the teachings of Yogi Bhajan and offers us sacred and secret teachings daily! Her dedication to teaching and helping us all grow as spirit beings is beyond inspiring.
I feel so blessed to have this beautiful angel in my life to continue to grow on this journey of life together. She made me fall in love with the teachings

Prior to attending class with Tej..I'd never
had any interest in yoga. I am a high adrenaline sort of girl and I presumed yoga class was too slow and dull for me personally. BUT... I went because a friend STRONGLY (lol!) encouraged me and explained that Kundalini Yoga was very different from just a regular yoga class in the gym. SO TRUE!!! It completely has changed my life. I'm in better shape than I have been in years.... not just physically but more importantly, emotionally and spiritually. No one needs to be an athlete or be in perfect shape physically to do this class. You set

I have been doing kundalini for 9 years now. I started at golden bridge and have been going to Tej since she was a teacher there. I have done kundalini at many studios from many teachers here in LA and in NYC but Tej is really the best. Her intro talk is never too long or sarcastic like some yoga teachers can be. She talks highly of her Kabbalah chiropractor and is very respectful of other religions and spiritual paths and focuses on unity when this comes up in her talks - which I think is the sign of a real teacher. Her classes are vigorous enough that I feel I got a work out and the meditations

Going to Nine Treasures is really something. The community is strong. There's that saying: we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I feel like Tej embodies that knowledge, she is a real person and so mystical at the same time. She's great, and really there's nothing like chanting the Adi Mantra with a hundred people! I love practicing here. It is my go to Kundalini spot.

I've been twice now and both experiences were amazing. I could really feel the love and care of Tej, the instructor, all the way from the back of the room. I had never before tried kundalini yoga - and I'm not in great shape - but I was able to keep up with the class. The classes are deep and intense.

Tej is a great teacher and guide to have in front you. Her classes are always unique, and always challenging you to go deeper in to your strength. As kundalini master teacher, her classes aren't regular yoga classes. As well as a physical practice, meditation and mantra chanting is involved.
Try it out, you will probably love it!

Walking into my first Kundalini yoga class with Tej over 8 years ago was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have been learning as much as I can from her ever since and what I have received is beyond words. She is the most compassionate, wise, funny and REAL person and her classes reflect that. I can't recommend her enough. If you are looking for an authentic, uplifting and transformational experience just go!
Also I have to say the community of yogis at her new yoga center are really welcoming and inclusive which I think is really cool , especially in a city like Los Angeles.

Nine Treasures Yoga is a treasure! It is held in a martial arts studio which has a slightly padded floor and lots of good energy from the martial artists who practice there. There is plenty of free parking down below and the room itself is big and spacious. Now the teaching of Tej Kaur Khalsa is truly a gift! Her sensibility and sensitivity, wisdom and heart are all present each and every time she teaches which is everyday except Sunday. It is a gift that she gives us and I am so grateful to be a recipient of the teachings that have been passed down to her by Yogi Bhajan. Sat Nam

Tej is THE BEST Kundalini teacher in LA and once you take her class, you will FEEL why. She is not only the appointed guardian of Yogi Bhajan's teachings, but her energy is truly what makes her shine. Forget the celebrities that will vouch for her - a community of yogis can swear on the awesomeness just by showing up. No frills, drama, or nonsense. NO COMPARISON.
Also, there is ample parking on the bottom parking lot, which they opened up just for her class.

Tej Kaur Khalsa is my favorite yoga teacher of all time. Her teachings and friendship have been such an inspiration and help in my life. I was so excited when I heard she had opened her own studio and left Golden Bridge Yoga in Hollywood. I first took a Tej class in 2004 and from there my life has totally changed. Kundalini is an amazing practice. http://youtu.be/FFhW2dimehk (YouTube Interview with Tej)
