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.

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.
