An Exploration of the Subtle Body and Chakra System
with Sheila Ewers

Saturday-Sunday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Location: Lift Yoga Johns Creek
Tantric Yogis believe that your body is pulsing with consciousness and energy that is particularly concentrated in 7 major centers called chakras. The word chakra translates literally to wheel or disc and indicates the swirling energy that aggregates around major nerve centers and organs in the body. These impact our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing and become repositories for our accumulated life experience.
In this weekend intensive, we will examine the architecture of each chakra’s anatomical structure, investigate the history of the chakra system as described in ancient texts, learn to listen to our own ancient wisdom with deeper consciousness, and discover tools to steward our pranic field with greater sensitivity.
During our time, we will explore:
– Experiential exercises to energize awareness and sharpen sensitivity.
– Tools to enliven the energy body and connect to each center of psyche and soul.
– Anatomy instruction about physical systems associated with each Chakra.
– Collaborative creation implementing your new understanding.
