I am a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher with 5 classes in my local area. I've completed 3 levels towards my Level II certification and love Kundalini Yoga. I dress in all white for my classes and do not wear a turban. I wear a cotton headband. This is also exactly how I dress for the Level II classes in Espanola, and I have never been chastised in any way. My understanding is that we should wear white on our heads, turbans are optional though encouraged.
Blessings,
Guru Prem Kaur

> Students of Kundalini Yoga wear turbans and white for 'energetic' reasons relating to their yoga practice not for 'religious' purposes. It is noticeable that within the Sikh communities that do not practice Kundalini Yoga it is only the men who wear turbans, often the turbans are in a variety of colors and worn along with western suits as well as casual wear.
