Chakras, The Elements and Energetics of Yoga

In yoga and ayurveda chakras (energy centres or wheels of energy), The 5 elements, Marmas (Vital points) and Nadis (energetic channels) are part of our anatomy. These places connect our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual being.

Feeling butterflies in our stomach, having a 'gut feeling', a broken heart, lightness of heart, 'restriction' in our throat or a knot in our stomach are all physical sensations of our energetic body reacting or responding to our environment or energies surrounding us.

The Workshop:
The focus in this workshop is to understand what the chakras symbolises and how to connect with them in our yoga practice. We will discuss these subtle energies and how they affect us and how a focus on the energetics in our yoga practise can influence our response to our environment.

It is a practical yoga class with asanas relating to the 7 main chakras, pranayama (breathing exercises) aiming to balance the nadies connecting the chakras, meditation, shavasana (yogic relaxation) and discussion.
