Certificate - Introduction to the Chakras (2 hrs)
What are the chakras, how do they affect us, and how can we work with them to support our personal growth? Join Sandy for a guided tour of these seven centers of energy and consciousness located along the central axis of the body. You will explore how each chakra is connected with our physical, mental, and psychological functioning and our understanding of who we are. You will also learn asana and pranayama practices to unlock, strengthen, and balance the energy at each chakra, as well as how to do a short meditation.
You will discover:
Which chakra is the best place to begin working with the physical body and to initiate spiritual practice
How to gain a greater sense of security and stability through yoga practice focused on the root chakra at the base of the spine
Which chakra is considered the seat of our identity and emotions, and which is the seat of the mind
Two pranayama practices that enhance the energy of the higher chakras and prepare the mind for meditation, which leads you to the highest chakra
