Chakra Day - Retreat - 1: Muladhara (The Root Chakra!)

What is The Chakra System?

The chakra system is a concept originating in ancient Indian spiritual and philosophical traditions (especially yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra) that describes energy centers within the human body. These centers are believed to govern aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The Chakras are linked to specific areas and organs in the body, which means that we can create a physical yoga practice to target that particular area. We can also map Western psychological and social theories onto the Chakra system to form a complete and cohesive personal development system. (As outlined masterfully in the book "Eastern body, Western mind".)

What will we do during this day retreat?

We will begin with breathing practices and a Vinyasa class which targets the Muladhara Chakra.

We will then have a discussion / information session round the Chakras and around what this specific Chakra is said to represent.

You will…
