Embodied Awakening - A Journey Through The Chakras
With Dara Daniels
$35*
Sacral - Svadhistana: At the second chakra, the 'indwelling place' of our soft bellies, we will compassionately explore this place of vulnerable emotions and wild creative life force energy.
Gathering once a month for 7 months, we will work our way from the ground up to explore the process of our embodiment through the lens of classical hatha yoga.
With an inward gaze we will use asana (yoga movement/poses), meditation, visualization, sound vibration, mantra chanting, and self-inquiry to activate each of the chakras and awaken or enhance the qualities that reside in our physical and subtle bodies in order to be the change we wish to see in the world.
We will begin seated with an introduction to the second chakra and the mysteries that lie within the sacred pelvis and lower belly. We will move through a series of gentle movements and yoga postures to arrive more deeply into our bodies and begin to awaken the energies of the pelvic region. We will return to a comfortable seat on the floor or in a chair to explore the more subtle aspects of this energy center through visualization, mudra (sacred gesture), and chanting Sanskrit sound syllables. Bring a journal, pen, reading glasses and your favorite meditation cushion or bench if you have one.
