Genuine spiritual masters understand that our highest spiritual evolution is grounded in creating a more beneficial way of life for ourselves and all other beings. Learning how to use our own body, heart and mind as a vehicle for this is at the core of all yoga and Buddhist practice. Both of these traditions have detailed maps of how to awaken this untapped potential to create greater happiness in ourselves and our world. Our weekend study will include selected teachings, practices and trainings from masters of the Kundalini tradition of Hatha Yoga, and the Bodhichitta tradition of Tibetan Buddhist masters. Join us for this introductory seminar in which we will systematically study, explore and experience genuine teachings from these two powerful paths of awakening.

Learn how to:

Identify the unique characteristics of each chakra and how they affect your life.

Practice asana and breath control patterns to open, strengthen & balance each chakra.

Explore the sounds, colors, energy & symbols associated with each chakra.

Release limitations and negativity that block your flow of energy at each chakra.

Learn practical techniques to integrate each chakra into your yoga practice.

Expand contracted energy into expansive loving kindness.

Realign your energy chakra by chakra.

Transform habitual awareness into a heart-mind awakening.
