Chakra Alignment FlowMovement • Mantra • Energy Awareness This intentional flow is a moving meditation through the body’s energetic landscape. Rooted in the traditional chakra system described in yogic philosophy and referenced in texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, this practice explores the seven primary energy centers as pathways for awareness, balance, and transformation. Each section of class will focus on one chakra through: • Targeted asana (postures that stimulate that energetic region) • Breathwork to direct prāṇa • Specific bija mantras (seed sounds) • Intentional affirmations We begin at the foundation. Muladhara – Root Chakra Grounding postures such as malasana and warrior variations. Mantra: LAM Theme: Safety, stability, belonging. Svadhisthana – Sacral Chakra Hip-opening flows and fluid transitions. Mantra: VAM Theme: Creativity, emotion, pleasure. Manipura – Solar Plexus Chakra Core activation and strengthening sequences. Mantra: RAM Theme: Confidence, personal power. Anahata – Heart Chakra Backbends and expansive chest openers. Mantra: YAM Theme: Compassion, connection. Vishuddha – Throat Chakra Shoulder openers and breath-centered holds. Mantra: HAM Theme: Expression, truth. Ajna – Third Eye Chakra Balance postures and inward gaze. Mantra: OM Theme: Intuition, insight. Sahasrara – Crown Chakra Seated meditation and stillness. Silent awareness. Theme: Unity, higher consciousness. The mantras are woven gently into the rhythm of the flow, creating vibration that resonates not only physically, but energetically. Sound, breath, and movement combine to guide prāṇa upward through the subtle body. This class is accessible yet layered, making it meaningful for both newer practitioners and seasoned yogis seeking deeper energetic awareness. Expect: • Fluid transitions with clear energetic intention • Guided mantra repetition • Thoughtful sequencing aligned with each chakra • A final integration in savasana to harmonize the system This is not just a physical practice. It is an internal alignment. Move with awareness. Chant with intention. Leave feeling balanced from root to crown. ✨
