Exploring the Chakras: The Heart Chakra (in-person or livestream)
w. Judah Gesmundo

This six-session semester will cover basic concepts and practices related to the seven chakras. According to Yoga tradition, the chakras (spinning wheels) are located in the subtle/energy body and run from the base of the spine to just above the crown of the head. 

Each chakra will be covered over the six weeks of the semester. Session four begins with chakra opening exercises followed by a specific focus on Chakra Four, the Heart (Anahata) Chakra. Sessions include presentation content, breathwork/pranayama, asana practice, and end with savasana and meditation.

You will: 

  • Increase familiarity with each chakra, its element and qualities

  • Gain knowledge of specific postures that can help open and connect with each chakra 

  • Enhance your awareness of the flow of prana within the subtle body

Join Judah Gesmundo for this semester exploration, tapping into and gaining understanding of the energy of the chakras within your own body.

The Heart Chakra / Anahata

Anahata is the middle of the chakra system - the heart itself. With its element of air, it brings a focus to the breath which initially comes into and out of the lungs in the area of the heart and chest. When the energy of the Heart Chakra is balanced and flowing it brings connection, bestows feelings of deep compassion, unconditional love, serenity, and joy.
