Sat Darshan Lafontaine
I’ve been working with Kundalini, embodiment, and consciousness for over two decades. What began as a personal practice, became a clear calling to teach — and later to train others — as a Kundalini Yoga and Shakti Dance teacher, holding long-term learning containers, retreats, and teacher trainings.
A powerful Kundalini awakening a decade ago reshaped both my life and my understanding of transformation. While it opened subtle perception and deepened my relationship with consciousness, it also revealed something essential: intensity and spiritual experiences without integration lead to bypassing and destabilisation rather than healing. What followed was a long process of embodiment, including years of trauma healing and shadow work, that profoundly changed how I approach this work.
Over time, I immersed myself in trauma therapy studies, further confirming how spiritual practices on their own are often insufficient for trauma healing. This deepened my commitment to safety, attunement, and integration — especially when working with strong energetic processes.
Today, my work brings these streams together. I offer trauma-informed therapy grounded in somatic trauma therapy and Internal Family Systems–informed work, both on its own and alongside Kundalini Activation for those who are drawn to it. Kundalini Activation is facilitated as a body-led process, guided by the intelligence of each person’s system.
This combined approach forms what I call the Healing Arc: a way of working where activation and integration are held in balance, allowing change to be regulated, embodied, and sustained.
At the core of everything I do is presence, listening, and trust in the body’s timing. I’m not interested in peak states, but in the quiet embodiment of awareness — how it settles, matures, and continues to unfold in everyday life.
Alongside this work, music is part of my path. I record and share mantra music under the name Sat Darshan — a long-standing offering that lives alongside my facilitation and therapeutic work. My music is available on major streaming platforms.
