The institute's work extends across publishing, research and teaching support. KRI publishes the Aquarian Teacher manuals and its catalogue of books and digital products, maintains the Library of Teachings, awards its Seal of Approval for publications and handles translation rights, and runs an e-learning center. Its research side collects hundreds of research and dissertation articles on the effects of yoga and convenes research symposia, including the 2026 edition.
KRI operates as a standards and education body for a global teacher community, with ethics and anti-harassment training required through its programs, a board of directors, staff, seva projects and an active news cycle through 2026. Its role in the post-2020 conversation about the lineage's history is part of its current governance story.
