Exploring the Chakras -
Energy Centers of Awareness, Inner Connection & Transformation
With Colleen Duggan, ERYT 500, YACEP
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 AND 12, 10:30- 5PM EACH DAY
The chakra system has captured the curiosity of modern yoga practitioners — often introduced through colors, symbols, and personality traits.
In the yogic tradition, however, chakras are understood as something far more subtle and alive: dynamic centers of awareness within the energy body.
In this experiential workshop, we’ll explore the chakras from a classical yogic perspective—as part of an interconnected energetic landscape that shapes how we experience both our inner and outer lives.
We’ll also trace how knowledge of the chakras traveled to the West and evolved through its relationship with Western metaphysical and psychological thought. Through meditation, breath, mantra, gentle movement and reflection, we’ll move beyond simply learning about the chakras and begin cultivating a more direct, embodied relationship with the subtle body.
We’ll begin with an accessible overview of the energy body, offering essential context that brings the chakra system into clearer focus. From there, we’ll explore how the chakras function as gateways for vitality, perception, and transformation — helping bridge ancient teachings with lived, embodied experience.
Practices of exploration will include -
guided meditation and reflection
somatically informed yoga
breath awareness practices
accessible teachings from the yogic tradition
time for inquiry and integration
No prior knowledge of chakras or subtle anatomy is needed — just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to explore.
This offering is ideal for students who want a deeper, more grounded understanding of the energy system — one that honors tradition while remaining practical, embodied, and relevant to everyday life.
