The chakras are a kind of energetic anatomy in the body. The are 7 major chakras.

🔴 Muladhara - Root chakra
🟠 Svadhistana - Sacral chakra
🟡 Manipura - Solar Plexus chakra
🟢 Anahata - Heart chakra
🔵 Visuddha - Throat chakra
🟣 Anja - Third Eye chakra
⚪️ Sahasrara - Crown chakra

Sometimes emotional or physical ailments can effect the way our chakras turn either chasing them to spin too slowly or too quickly.

But when the chakras are aligned we have a feeling of wholeness, healthy, and stability.

The chakra system is another yogic tool to help us to better understand our physical and emotional bodies!

No. It is not required that you know how to do a headstand in order to practice yoga or even come to one of our trainings. In fact 80% of our students can't do headstands before they show up to training... (Or at least they think they can't.)

With proper guidance, instruction and intelligent alignment almost everyone can learn to do this!

So can you…
