Consciousness of the Chakras: a Kundalini Yoga Retreat Taught with Bill Savage.
July 23-25, 2010
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is a yoga of awareness and energy. A Kundalini Yoga session comprises mantra (chanting and music), pranayama (breathing), mudra (hand gestures), bandha (body locks), asana (body postures and exercises), savasana (relaxation) and samadhi (meditation). A session typically flows through a sequence of tuning in, warming up (breathing and/or exercises), kriya (a series of asana), relaxation, meditation, and closing. During the two-and-a-half days of the retreat, we will build consciousness of the eight chakras, from the first chakra up to the heart chakra and then up and out into the aura.
