Chakra Yoga

The chakras are the yoke of yoga, existing at the meeting point of mind and body, spirit and matter. They form a profound formula for wholeness as centers of organization for the life force energy that governs our beliefs, behaviors, and health. Yoga is the spiritual language in which we converse with this ancient system. Learn how to balance the archetypal elements of earth, water, fire, air, sound, light and thought, as you wiggle your way up the spine and across the Rainbow Bridge. Discover the tools to navigate the chakra system through asana, pranayama, chanting, meditation, and more with the award winning author and workshop leader Dr. Anodea Judith.

Chakra Yoga Teacher Training

27 CEU’s possible for therapists, social workers, and yoga teachers. More about CEU’s

The chakras represent the architecture of the human soul. As meeting points between mind and body, spirit and matter, the chakras form the yoke of yoga. As portals between the worlds, the chakras are the seven windows to the soul that connect the inner world with the outer.

Yoga is the spiritual language that opens these centers and brings us to the core consciousness of the divine within. Chakras are modulators of subtle energy and the goal is to free the prana to travel fully through the whole body: grounding your first chakra and rising through the core to the infinite consciousness of the crown.

In this training, yoga teachers and seasoned students will learn asanas through the lens of the chakra system. What postures do we use to open, stimulate, or relax various chakras? How do we read the body to understand the functioning of the chakras within? How do we combine opposites, such as opening and closing, holding and releasing, charging and discharging, to pump energy through the whole body-mind system? How do we incorporate breath, mantra and mudras into our chakra practice? How do we access and strengthen the core?

You will learn sun salute variations for each chakra, along with yoga and bioenergetic exercises for each chakra, along with chakra philosophy, pranayama, mantras, guided meditation and more.

Testimonials

Just attended Anodea’s Chakra Yoga Workshop. A fun, informative, engaging journey up the chakras through asana, philosophy, pranayama, chanting, lecture and discussion. Anodea’s presence and presentation is inviting and informative!George H.

I find the value of Chakra Yoga Teacher Training as a way into my self and understanding my body and emotions the best way I’ve found of integrating head learning and internal/emotional knowing which is helping me toward really living what I know and feel to be true. I love Anodea’s teaching style which allows for people to go inward while also having the anchor of language and communication to integrate. Appreciate the combination of intellectual framework and emotional depth.
