Chakra Workshop

Yoga Through the Chakra System

This February, join Gita for a one day intensive workshop from 9am to 3:30pm and elevate your practice to a more holistic approach. Learning the chakra system and how to incorporate its aspects into your asana practice will expand your practice beyond the physical for an experience that includes the Mind and Spirit. “Traditionally, Indians saw the body as containing seven main chakras, arranged vertically from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel, and these “wheels” were thought of as spinning vortexes of energy.

Each chakra is associated with particular functions within the body and with specific life issues and the way we handle them, both inside ourselves and in our interactions with the world. As centers of force, chakras can be thought of as sites where we receive, absorb, and distribute life energies. Through external situations and internal habits, such as long-held physical tension and limiting self-concepts, a chakra can become either deficient or excessive—and therefore imbalanced.

These imbalances may develop temporarily with situational challenges, or they may be chronic. A chronic imbalance can come from childhood experiences, past pain or stress, and internalized cultural values.”
