About the Course
Balance your subtle energy body, calm your nervous system, release physical tension and clear out stagnant thoughts and blockages in this two-hour class using movement, intention, breath, mantra and chanting. Open to all levels of practitioner and based on the Jivamukti Yoga method.
According to Yogic tradition, everyone has seven energy centers that serve as junction points between the body and consciousness, or between matter and the mind. These spinning vortices, called Chakras in Sanskrit, receive, assimilate and express our vital life energy. When the flow of energy in one or more of the chakras becomes blocked, we may develop physical and mental illnesses.
The chakras are levels of perception and can be used for radical healing and real, lasting transformation. Deep routed emotional, physical and karmic difficulties can be overcome and positive changes in perception realised.
Drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the modern techniques of Sarah’s teachers, Sharon Gannon and David Life, coupled with a combination of asana, mantra and visualisation, you’ll be led on a journey of healing as we seek to balance each of the chakras as a way to achieve real and lasting change.
