Chakra Yoga is a
holistic practice of ancient techniques, designed to stimulate the flow
of energy vortexes known as chakras. It utilizes all forms of yoga,
from the postures of hatha, breathing practices of pranayama, to
mantra and meditation in a systematic self study, leading to an
in-depth understanding of mind over matter. It goes from the holistic
health practices to the mystical and sacred. Because mind is connected
to the body through energy (via the nervous system), learning how to
work with these energies empowers and balances the chakras, bringing
the body to a state of peak health, and the mind to a calm state. The
result is a consciousness that is free to embrace its spiritual nature,
a mind that is peaceful and clear, and a body that maintains optimum
health. Chakra
yoga is an elaborate form of tantra or kundalini yoga. In tantra
tradition the positive and negative, (male and female) energies of the
body are united to create blissful feelings, and in chakra yoga these
feelings are awakened at the level of each of the chakras.
