Morning Subtle Energy Practice
Each morning and evening of our Winter Raja Program will bring you in touch with the different chakras on a subtle level by helping you locate the Chakra and identify any mental emotional blockages that might be associated through use if meditation, affirmations, chakra breathing, Chakra colour visualisation and chakra seed sound chanting.
It can be a profound journey for most to look deeply inside in a systematic way and can make way for release and revelation about oneself. Those who are sensitive will also begin to recognise how an open or closed, excessive or deplete chakra feels and how it affects our outlook, behaviour and action.
These are simple yet vital skills that all can benefit from, a simple check-in each day to make sure our energy is flowing in a balanced way.
Chakra Healing Hatha Practices
The Yoga Asana of our Winter Raja Program is more akin to the subtle traditional hatha practices, where postures are held active, steady, yet at ease and in stillness to encourage subtle energy to flow in the various energy winds through the workings of the posture.
Students will experience the subtler impact of each posture in relation to the Chakras in a meditative perspective and begin to understand how postures can be utilised to master the subtle mental and bodily function.
The more open, supple and receptive the body is, the more it is able to sense and direct the energy flow throughout. That is why, this meditative approach to asana falls in our final week, so that students first move through the initial therapy, strengthening and softening work on the body to prepare it for meditation and subtler work.
In depth Meditation & Chakra awareness workshops
In our philosophy workshops, we will dive deeper into meditation teachings from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and share his key teachings on the 8 limbs, aspects of mind and the steps to liberation. We will also review different meditation approaches and techniques and their implications so that students feel more confident to approach meditation once settled back at home.
Our Chakra workshops we will delineate the location, anatomy and functions of each Chakra on a mental emotional and physical level and discuss how imbalances might be recognised. We will explore together the Chakra's: colour, element, sense organ, physical organs, seed sound, mudras, affirmations, emotions, deities, and visualisations that can help to bring balance to our energy centres.
I met Yan and Amit at a Yoga Teacher’s training course in Goa. It was an incredible experience. For me, what stood them apart was the generosity and integrity of their knowledge. Both were willing to give of themselves to their students; a valuable gift from any teacher. I hope to have more collaborations with them in the future and wish them the best on their path.
