Chakrasana or Urdhva Danurasana posture in yoga works energetically on all the Chakras, hence its a deep and intense posture in yoga, with great therapeutic effects.
Chakras are energy centres in the body. We have 6 or 7 of them in the body depending on which tradition one follows.
The 90 minute Chakra Asana class is based on a shortened version of the 2 hour class that Peter follows in workshops and retreats. The class is slow and meditative with an emphasis on feeling prana in the body/chakras. At the beginning of the class the body is prepared for the chakra yoga postures that follow. Kriyas are also used in the class to transfer energy through the body. All the Chakras in the body are activated and balanced.
Drishti (focal points), bandhas(locks), mudras(hand gestures), breathing practices and breath awareness are used extensively in the class.
The class is suitable for those who have been practising yoga for a while and/or are able to feel prana (energy).
Mind concentration is helped by employing techniques to relax the mind, eliminating any expectations and not taking ourselves seriously, yes you will also have fun!
