Overview

In this lesson, we introduce the chakra system as a model for understanding energy distribution and psychological tendencies.

Objective

Become familiar with the location, qualities, and themes associated with the seven major chakras.

What You'll Get

You'll learn the foundational characteristics of each chakra — from the root's connection to survival and grounding, to the crown's association with transcendence and unity. We explore how imbalances might show up physically, emotionally, or behaviorally, and how specific practices can support balance. This model offers a symbolic, integrative framework for sequencing classes, choosing themes, and helping students connect physical practice to inner experience. Whether you work with chakras literally or metaphorically, this gives you language and tools to address the whole person.
