Teaching around the chakras gives a class a focus beyond the poses, and I love that. So we gathered seven of my chakra classes into a free series called the Chakra 7-Week Experience. You get one class a week by email for seven weeks, working your way up from the root to the crown.
What’s a chakra, in plain words?
In yoga tradition, the chakras are seven energy centers that run along the spine, from its base up to the crown of your head. Each one is connected to parts of your body and to how you feel physically and emotionally. You don’t need to know anything about them to start. Each week we just give one of them our attention and let it shape the practice.
Week by week
Each week you’ll get a new class dedicated to one chakra. Here’s the order:
- Week 1: Root Chakra (Muladhara). Feeling grounded and stable. We spend a lot of time in the lower body this week. Yoga for your 1st Chakra (59m 13s, filmed in Costa Rica).
- Week 2: Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana). Creativity and passion, with plenty of movement in the hips. Yoga for your 2nd Chakra (55m 34s, filmed in Costa Rica).
- Week 3: Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura). Personal power and confidence. Expect some core work and twists. Yoga for your 3rd Chakra (48m 55s, filmed in Costa Rica).
- Week 4: Heart Chakra (Anahata). Love and compassion, for others and for yourself, with lots of heart opening. Yoga for your 4th Chakra (1h 11m 28s, filmed in Colorado).
- Week 5: Throat Chakra (Vishuddha). Finding your voice and expressing yourself. Throat Chakra Yoga (59m 22s, filmed in Colorado).
- Week 6: Third Eye Chakra (Ajna). Intuition and insight, and letting go of the tension we carry in the face and jaw. Yoga for Your 6th Chakra (55m 10s, filmed in Colorado).
- Week 7: Crown Chakra (Sahasrara). Connection to something bigger than yourself, and a little stillness. Crown Chakra Yoga (55m 46s, filmed in Colorado).
What the classes are like
Each class pairs poses with breath work for that week’s chakra. They’re all-levels classes, so whether you’re brand new or you’ve been practicing for years, you’ll find a version that works for you. The first three were filmed in Costa Rica and the last four in Colorado, so you get a little of both.
How to join
The Chakra 7-Week Experience is completely free. Just add your email on the Chakra Challenge page and we’ll send you one new class every week for the next seven weeks. That’s it.
If you’d rather go at your own pace, all seven classes also live together in our Chakra Yoga collection, and you can find more of my classes in the Class Finder.
I hope these seven weeks give you a little more balance, on the mat and off it.
