Chakra Teachers’ Training

A 10-week online course for yoga teachers who would like to work more intensively with the chakras.

Deepen your own practice and integrate concepts of sound and breath into your existing classes.

10 consecutive Saturdays; 13 Sept - 15 Nov; 1-4pm

“I really got a lot out of the ‘Yoga Teachers Guide to Chakras’. It helped me understand and integrate the different aspects of yoga and how different practices can work together.
