Guruatma K. Khlasa is a yoga therapist and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor, also certified with the Kundalini Research Association.
She is the Assistant Director of 3HO Anti-Addiction Technology and Systems, and, since 1994, a certified Massage Therapist in Texas. January 2009, she was ordained a minister of Sikh Dharma International (thus the wearing of a traditional turban).
Guruatma has spent the last 30 years in a deeply personal study of how yoga, pranayam (breathing techniques), meditation, diet and nutrition, PT, attitude and lifestyle choices affect the course of chronic and critical illness. Her work draws on the tradition of yoga master and doctor of psychology Yogi Bhajan, who spent 35 years in the Western world teaching how Kundalini Yoga can be used as a powerful tool for facing and rising above any challenge, so that you can reach your excellence. Her own experience of moving through life challenged by a very rare and relapsing auto-immune imbalance gives her deep and on-going exposure to the wide array of issues facing those of us who find ourselves fighting in this arena.
Guruatma continues her research by taking care of herSELF in order to maintain her "KEEP UP SPIRIT!" She works one-on-one with clients presenting conditions of pain and depression, peripheral neuropathy and loss of mobility, amputation, facing impending death, hearing loss, debilitating side-effects generated by drugs and chemotherapy, glandular and nervous-system imbalance, weight and addiction complications, life-altering transition, loss of identity, and many more.
Since January of 2008, she has been teaching the 6am Kundalini Yoga class, Monday thru Saturday at 3HO Yoga Central in the Montose area of Houston, TX.
You may know her as she was a participating member at the West Grey Adaptive Recreation Center from Sept of 1999 thru April of 2008, being assisted throughout her re-cooperative process by the water, gym and art therapy programs.
Her ongoing Chair Yoga Class at the West Grey Adaptive Recreational Center is very popular, and continuing into its' second year.

HOW MY EARLY MORNING YOGA CLASS CAME TO BE
what's the scoop? tell me what's a happenin...
By the grace of the
blessing to be waking up earlier and feeling stronger these days, I am teaching
the early morning yoga classes 6 days/wk at the ashram and wanted to let
everyone know that I am taking advantage of this time to investigate and share
all my old files (6 legal-sized drawers FULL), books, lecture and training
notes, visual teaching-aids, archival 3HO publications and materials, etc with
the intention to resurrect the business Yogi Bhajan directed me to create and
pursue.
What a phenomenal and
inspiring project - we are having FUN!
In a private meeting with
Yogi Bhajan at Khalsa Women's Training Camp in 1992, he said to me,
"Get up off your ass
and teach, write it down exactly as I say: when YOU become successful,
the cycle (of what was going on at that time) will break. Start in
Houston with eating addictions. You are the Assistant Director of '3HO
Anti-Addiction Technology and Systems'."
Obviously a master at meeting someone at their own level, he spoke true to my SELF/soul and precisely read my aura, me being the kind of woman who re-built 3 volkswagon engines in my garage in the late 70's and cares to know how my frig runs.
Soon after camp ended, I
spent time training at our 3HO SUPERHEALTH facility in Phoenix, AZ (a licensed,
in-patient, drug rehab center) and when I came home, worked to become certified
with the State of Texas to teach continuing education classes in the Yogic
Approach to Drug-Addiction Recovery to LPC's (Licensed Practicing Counselors).
Some of you may remember the
weekend seminars and classes I taught here at the ashram, back in those days,
and you are familiar with my tendency to tear things apart, break them down,
ask questions and investigate the depths of the 'given's - for instance, what
is going on in the brain when we are holding a particular eye focus or hand
mudra, what-all does MAGNETIC FIELD really mean (thank you Earl for working on
that with me), what are the dynamics of ROOT LOCK and where in the skull do we
find the precise positioning for TUNING-IN?
...all aspects of this type
of investigation I make my business - and I love my work, as it is
custom-made for my particular psyche and gifts to be able to pass the
science-of-it on to you in a way that you can understand.
Anyway, I became critically
ill in '95 and Ek Ong Kaar Kaur (now Sikh Dharma Public Relations spokesperson,
and the woman who so beautifully translated Japji - THE SONG OF THE SOUL as per
Yogi Bhajan's direction) took over teaching the classes, developing and
promoting the business until she left for New Mexico, maybe around '97.
Thus, the business went into RAHAO (pause)-mode.
Long story short........ I'M
BACK!
Perhaps you would like to join us as we investigate the technology and systems of that particular mornings' set and meditation.
Thank you for holding the
projection for me to be effortlessly placed in the perfect circumstances and
facilities to reach those in need of this technology. I am keeping a deep
focus and commitment to continue to take care of myself and be prepared for the
calling.
The morning class is a
vehicle for this process.
I feel deeply grateful for
the opportunity to serve in this capacity; it is a perfect arrangement.
humbly
guruatma
Monday through FRIDAY class is 6-7AM and Saturday 6:30-7:30AM.

My story is about finding BALANCE.
Perhaps you can find yourself somewhere in these gallery photos of me, as I stumbled from side to side, over and over again throughout my life.
In the last 2 years I have been blessed to enjoy the experience of holding fast to a firm, but flexible, middle-ground.
...by the grace of employing all the YOGIC TOOLS I will be sharing with you.
