The seven major chakras are at the center of the entire energy system of the human experience and are related to specific physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic qualities. Though every chakra is present in the entire body and field of consciousness, it is at each of these seven locations that subtle forces and bodily functions combine to create a center for holistic healing and transformation.

Mastery of Asana starts with mastery of Anatomy and alignment. This allows you to fine-tune your student's practice to prevent injury, aid in rehabilitation, and establish individualized protocols for best practices based on individual needs and universal alignment principles. By gaining a strong foundation and understanding of exercise science and current research, you will feel confident in educating your students in a safe, effective, and progressive program. Once a foundation of correct form, alignment, progression of postures, and growth potential is understood, you and your students will feel more free to explore authentic and natural movement in each pose. This opens new pathways that ultimately prevent injury while also gaining freedom to enjoy the practice. Sign Up
