The Chakra System Unveiled | |
with Carrie Meyer
Friday March 1 (6:00 - 9:00 pm*) ---- and ----
Saturday March 2  (12:00 - 6:30 pm)
This two-part workshop on the chakra system offers a rich compilation of information distilled from a wide range of sources historically rooted in the ancient traditions of Yoga and Tantra. Each of the seven main energy centers will be examined in detail with reference to energetic anatomy and corresponding physical, psychological, and transpersonal attributes. Our exploration of the chakra system will extend to subtle-body theory and will be augmented by yoga postures, breathwork, and meditation, all of which help to support or restore the healthy function of the chakras and the subtle-to-physical-body network. Participants will be provided with a packet detailing chakra information for easy reference and additional printed handouts. For those who have previously studied the chakra system, this workshop is sure to clarify or enhance your understanding of concepts that may perhaps seem vague or that have been only superficially grasped.

Experience stress reduction, less anxiety, improved sleep, relief from chronic pain and symptoms, a feeling of well-being, and deep relaxation. Integrative Restoration (iRest® www.irest.us/ ), the modern-day version of the ancient life-changing practice of Yoga Nidra, is a deeply relaxing guided meditation and self inquiry. Resting on your back or sitting in a comfortable position, you are skillfully led through ten steps that invite a state of complete relaxation and stimulate great potential for realizing one's deepest desires and the timeless wisdom that lies within. This process invites a letting go of limiting beliefs and conditioning and opens you to experience all that life presents with ease. Each week we will experience opening our senses, relaxing deeply, and inquiring into our nature of wholeness. This six-week workshop takes you step-by-step through this practice. A workbook and recordings are part of the cost of the workshop. Together we will rediscover and explore our highest potential for health, well-being, and happiness. Space in limited so we will have a small intimate group. Past participants are welcome and can drop-in to the classes ($15 per class). Read More > |

Our needs can be different each time we step onto our mats. At FUSION, we believe that it's important to consider how we're showing up on any given day and decide what's best for us... honoring the first tenant of yoga, which is "ahimsa," (cause no-harm to oneself or others).
