Chakra-Vinyasa Yoga merges the principles of the chakra system with the dynamic and flowing movements of vinyasa yoga. The chakra system consists of seven major energy centers in the body, each linked to different physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our lives.
In Chakra-Vinyasa Yoga, we match specific vinyasa sequences with the energy and themes of each chakra. Each practices focuses on a particular chakra, using yoga poses and flows that stimulate and balance that energy center. For example, grounding poses like Mountain Pose and Warrior Poses are used for the Root Chakra to help you feel stable and safe.
In addition to the thematic poses and sequences, Chakra-Vinyasa Yoga incorporates breathing exercises and meditation techniques aligned with the chakra being focused on. Chakra-Vinyasa Yoga offers a holistic and transformative practice. Through the integration of movement, breath, and intention, Chakra-Vinyasa Yoga supports balance, awareness, and harmony both on and off the mat. By aligning and activating your body’s energy centers, Chakra-Vinyasa Yoga offers wonderful healing tools to help you connect more deeply with yourself and the world around you.
