About the event
The notion of chakras stems from spiritual traditions of Hinduism. The term chakras is translated as “spinning wheel” in Sanskrit. In yogic philosophy, it is believed that the human body is not just made up of physical matter like bones, muscles, and tissue; the human body is also made up of layers of energy fields that flow through and around the body. These energy fields, or channels, are called nadis; the life force that travels through the nadis is called prana. In yogic philosophy, there are seven places in the body where these channels converge. These intersections are the main energy centers in the body, and what we call chakras.
Each chakra correlates with behaviors, emotions, values, and physical systems in the body. When energy, prana, in one of the chakras is blocked due to bad habits or environmental factors, the body will experience the blocked energy in imbalances that can lead to physical, mental, and emotional symptoms.
The purpose of this chakra yoga practice is to unblock the chakras, using Bij sounds and color visualization so that energy can flow through the body, bringing us to a state of balance, peace, and harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
The first half of the practice will be dedicated to explore chakra specific postures, the second half a guided chakra balancing meditation using crystal bowls.
