ARE YOU PASSIONATELY DRAWN TO LEARN ABOUT THE SUBTLE ENERGY THAT MAKES UP THE CHAKRA SYSTEM, HOW TO BRING YOUR CHAKRAS INTO BALANCE FOR A HEALTHIER BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT? IN THIS MODULE WE LOOK AT HISTORICAL TEXTS AND PRACTICES TO PROVIDE US POWERFUL INSIGHT INTO THE MIND-BODY ASPECTS OF THE CHAKRA SYSTEM.
This 50-hour accredited Chakra Immersion Yoga Training with Yoga Australia covers the physical and psychological properties of the seven chakras. Chakras are a spinning vortex of energy that is not seen by the human eye but can be seen, felt, and sensed with intuition. This invisible healing energy, called prana (vital life force), keeps us vibrant, healthy, and alive. Through personal practice combining asana, meditation and pranayama you will discover how to move and clear blockages that may be held in the body. We will dive deep into discussions on each individual chakra to investigate how they work both individually, collectively, and how they show up in our everyday lives. This immersion will leave you with a deep understanding of the Chakra system.
This Chakra Yoga Training / Immersion is available for both Yoga Teachers and Practitioners to get re-inspired by your own presence and to re-awaken all of your seven Chakras. Fusing elements of Vinyasa and Yin Yoga as well as Qi Gong, we dive deep into the chakras with the intention of demystifying the Chakra system as something esoteric, and use it as a map to understand the different qualities and how they resonate with our body/mind.
On a more practical level, you will learn how to prep and sequence to awaken specific qualities, taking into consideration the physical as well as the subtle body for teaching general yoga classes as well as workshops and retreats.
This training is delivered over 2 weekends, one month apart, Sat/Sun 8.30am-5.30pm.

What you will learn on
Retreat Immersion
In this training we explore the Chakras each day through guided meditations, affirmations, pranayama, mantra and mudras, plus time to study the theory and anatomy of the Chakras.
You will also experience specially designed Chakra Yoga classes daily with Miriam, incorporating Qi Gong elements so you can learn to generate more presence, awareness and a peaceful mind as a foundation for a powerful body, mind and soul.
The course is both practical and theoretical – meaning you will be spending time on the mat investigating, opening, strengthening, lengthening, trying, and testing. You will also be learning through visual lectures and meditations, as well as post-module quizzes to consolidate your learning.
This unique combination of learning techniques will provide you with a much deeper understanding of what the chakras are and how they correlate to anatomy, bioenergy and physiology. It will give you many tools to take your yoga practice further as a dedicated student, and provide richer class plans as a teacher.
