In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the energy centers in your body. These wheels, or disks of spinning energy, correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs throughout your body..
To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open and balanced. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra. With new practices and awareness, we can learn to draw upon the wisdom that lives within our body and is emanating from these wheels of energy.
Unfortunately, most of us have lost our connection to these flowing wheels of energy. Through social conditioning and trauma we all have taken on habitual ways in which we block and armor ourselves. This chronic tension prevents the free flowing energy from moving through our body. These strategies that formed in childhood helped us find belonging and safety, but now keep us small and stuck. These fixed ways of seeing the world, constricting our energy flow, and minimizing our potential are at the root of much of the human suffering that we experience.
Join the Vitalist Institute lead teachers, Ryan DeLuca and Kaycee Joy, in this embodiment series aimed at opening and balancing your entire chakra system. Through bioenergetics and embodied breathwork, this 6-week series will teach participants how to work through chronic bands of tension in the body in order to get back to the state of ease, flow, and energetic harmony.

About Breathwork & Bioenergetics
Breathwork has the ability to transform your deepest wounds, allowing you to reconnect with your most authentic self; to engage again, in a life worth living. Any human who can breathe deeply can do this transformational work.
Learn to be an explorer of yourself and inhabit your whole being so you can feel at home in your body. Your body is a tool to develop awareness, stay present, self-regulate, feel whole, find balance, feel connected, know yourself, love yourself and be empowered.
The practice of bioenergetics utilizes specific movements and stretches designed to break up areas of chronic pain and tension in the mind and body.
When practiced consistently over time, bioenergetics creates deep shifts and allows participants to return to their natural state of presence and ease.
Through breathing and feeling deeply, the psychological, physical, and the energetic bodies are harmonized and strengthened.

What people are saying…
“I’m not alone in my journey”
“Before starting embodiment classes I was feeling emotionally overwhelmed with issues in my life. I look forward to each class because they enable me to pause, reconnect with my body, and focus on feeling my deep feelings. I can bring them up and let them go.
I’ve benefited so much from these classes. I have such an incredible increase in energy and sense of not being alone in my journey toward self-integration.”
-Annie R.
“I’m recovering my authentic self”
“I have found so much value in the somatic practice of bioenergetics to release tension in my body in order to find more ease. I feel like I’m recovering my authentic self and rediscovering my innate joy.
I’m surprised at how open and vulnerable the members of this community have been with one another. This is one of a kind.”
-Matt J.
“The practices are helping me release old ways”
“My relationship with myself has changed dramatically. I’m surprised at how beautiful and intense the experience and my life has been so far. The awareness I’m developing and the practice are so helping me release old ways and step into new.
"It’s so validating to be with a community of people who understand.”
Erica J.
