Embodied Wisdom: A Journey to Understanding & Working with the Chakras

Chakras are one of the most talked-about ideas in modern yoga, yet often one of the least understood.

This two-hour workshop offers an accessible introduction to the chakra system through yoga philosophy, movement, breath and sound. Together, we will journey through all seven chakras, exploring what each represents, how its qualities can show up in our everyday lives, and practical ways we can work with them.

Through illustrated visual boards, teaching and embodied practice, you will be invited to experience the chakra system as more than an abstract concept, but as a framework for self-understanding and exploration.

No previous experience with yoga or chakras is needed.

About the Teacher: Arushi

I am a yoga teacher and yoga therapist trained traditionally in India. My teacher training and yoga therapy training were completed at The Yoga Institute in Mumbai, one of the oldest organised yoga centres in the world. I hold RYT-500 registration with Yoga Alliance and a Level 6 Yoga Therapist certification from the Yoga Certification Board of India.

My teaching is rooted in traditional Hatha, with a particular love of pranayama, meditation and the philosophy that sits beneath the postures. I believe yoga was never really about touching your toes, and that the tradition becomes far richer once you understand what it is actually pointing towards.

This workshop is close to my heart. The chakra teachings were part of my training from the beginning, and I have watched them become reduced over the years into something decorative and vague. I wanted to offer them the way they were offered to me: clearly, honestly and with genuine respect for their depth.

My hope is that you leave not only informed, but with something you can actually use.
