Yoga of Integrity
Foundational Principles For an Authentic Life Lived in Alignment with Universal Values
Four-Part Online Course
A Welcome Note From Igor Kufayev
Course Introduction
Dear Friends,
Over the years I have observed how many sincere seekers of Truth are faced with unforeseen obstacles on their journey. These limitations are psychological in nature and largely due to a lack of knowledge on the complexity of the human condition. Although our innate nature is benevolent, or even perfect, the manifestation of success in any area of our lives––along with a sense of wellbeing and ultimately fulfillment itself––is rooted in how much those innate, universal qualities are enlivened in our own field.
This course is tailored to those who are serious about reaching their innermost potential. It aims to redress the fundamental principles which assist spiritual unfoldment. It further distinguishes what obstructs the progress and limits our potential for Self-realization. It dares to expose collectively held myths around spirituality which are based on false assumptions, so as to clear the path for the expansion of human consciousness through direct insight into the purpose of human evolution.
Whether you are an enthusiast, a lover or just a student of Yoga, this course is opened to all levels, yet above all designed for facilitators and teachers of this timeless science, as they are the ones who must embody these fundamental principles so as to be able to light the way for others.
From the Heart,
–Igor Vamadeva Kufayev
Overview
What is Yoga of Integrity?
The highest state of meditative absorption, also known as Integration or “bringing together”, is the joining of various elements into one stream of integral flow. According to Yoga Philosophy there are different degrees of coalescence, some deeper and more complete than others: from meditative absorption with cognitive functioning; to the cognition-less withdrawal of the Self abiding as Awareness; to the ultimate state of Sahaja Samadhi, as that spontaneous absorption whilst going about your daily duties.
Drawing a comparative analysis on the experience and understanding of Samadhi between classical Patanjali Yoga and Kashmir Shaiva Philosophy, in this online immersion you will learn about the main principles constituting spiritual work.
Course Topics
What You'll Learn
In this course, you will learn to establish the timeless foundations on the path of Self-realization.
01
When we don’t enliven the foundational principles that assist the process of awakening, we tend to dissipate our energies. Insights into spiritual integrity which are rooted in the ancient Science of Yoga allow us to progress safely and unfold the full human potential.
02
When we don’t bring the understanding of the psychological requirements for the process of Self-realization, we often have doubts or negative thoughts. With Yoga of Integrity, we understand how to work with obstacles wisely and rise beyond limitations.
03
Knowing the difference between conventional morality and spiritual integrity will enable you to be present to what is unfolding at any given moment in your life and to respond to it with an open heart and clarity.
04
Discover the meaning of the expression “to die before you die” and spiritual rebirth as well as the concept of jivanmukta (liberated while in a human body). What does it mean to “stand as Consciousness” and to live from a place of inner joy and true freedom?
05
Learn how vigilance and divine virtues can assist you in the process of Self-realization.
06
For those already committed to the path of reclaiming the Self, this course will deepen your understanding of the process of spiritual unfoldment and what is needed to integrate higher states of consciousness.
07
For facilitators and instructors, the complexity of the human psyche will be addressed from the Yogic and Tantric perspective, supported by personal insights Igor gained through decades of guiding aspirants on the path.
08
Yoga Philosophy unpacked. Ground-breaking insights into the meaning of sādhanā (spiritual practice), tapasyā (spiritual ardor, discipline), brahmacharya (celibacy), shraddhā (faith in Self/God), yajña (sacrifice) and vairāgya (detachment)

Igor Kufayev
About The Teacher
An artist, Advaita Tantra teacher, and founder of the Flowing Wakefulness Fellowship, for over two decades Igor Kufayev has been serving as a conduit of transmission for awakening towards the new era of heart-centered consciousness. Speaking from direct realization of Oneness, he inspires and initiates the recognition of the fullest potential present in human birth. Many have been touched by grace and awakened in his presence, as he continues working towards building a global community to serve as a container for exploring possibilities for alternative, consciousness-based culture.
Igor has been working with kundalini emergencies and all sorts of aspects of energetic transformation for nearly two decades now, drawing on rich experience of his own process and having guided many on this path of energetic transformation.
Igor’s involvement with sacred tradition expresses itself as non-intellectual, heart-based illumination. It could be said that Igor’s teaching methods are rooted in Advaita Tantra of Kashmir Shaivism. However, having studied such diverse traditions as Vedanta, Tantra, Sufism and Zen for many years, Igor remains elusive to categorisation, maintaining that tradition is not a set of esoteric teachings and techniques, but a vibrant field of energy enlivened in the hearts of those who go through this transformative process firsthand.
Igor emphasises the psycho-physiological nature of the awakening process, pointing to the importance of purification of the nervous system from accumulated stresses, accompanied by major rewiring of neural pathways which awakens dormant areas in brain cortexes. A teacher of immense spiritual experience, Igor facilitates spiritual growth using whatever means best suit the individual student—the degree of their spiritual evolution, readiness and capacity to respond—from energetic transmission to breathwork, mantra work, self-inquiry, and emotional introspection.
Having lived a full life in the world as a successful artist, Igor as a family man is now lovingly raising his three children with his partner Amrita Ma Devi. These skills of bringing the loftiest spiritual teachings into “the marketplace of life” make Igor an exceptional teacher. Igor not only brings the rare ability to initiate others into profound tantric practice, but also safeguards his students through all stages of awakening whilst emphasizing the importance of bringing the teaching where it rightfully belongs—into this body, into one’s relationships and the all-embracing perception of this world.
Igor’s debut book, Camatkāra: The Hidden Path, is a lucid exposition on Tantra’s most compelling outlook, which offers an alluring perspective on the role of aesthetic astonishment in our daily life, and ultimately points to the purpose of human experience. The book was published earlier this year.
Testimonials
In The Words of Others...
“There is a depth in this content that almost defies commentary as if one is to simply soak in it. And yet there are very specific statements that invite, almost demand, that we ask how and for what we stand in this world … which is completely linked to our unfolding of consciousness. Full of insights.”
—Gian Inder Kaur
“Igor is an extraordinary spiritual teacher who beautifully articulates the essence of many sacred traditions. Drawing most frequently from Vedic, Kashmiri Shaivite, Buddhist, Taoist, Sufi sources, he speaks from both direct experience and scriptural texts. He exalts the awareness of persons receiving his darshan through direct transmissions imparted during group meditation practice that enflames practitioners’ hearts into collective ecstasy. Many participants of his courses and retreats report lasting transformations, including sustained higher states of consciousness.”
—Michael Peter Cain, Founder Art Department, Maharishi International University
