Description

This event is suitable for everyone who wants to learn more about the chakras and how to replenish and use the energy they hold within the body. 

Join Lina Mookerjee for this day on the Chakras and get to know and understand the principles of energy and the Chakra system so that you feel confident to apply your knowledge to your own practice and where relevant in your classes and teach in a safe and effective way.

The morning session will enable participants to understand the context of energy through principles of Tantra Philosophy, and the infrastructure for energy transportation through the Chakra system. Topics will include: 

• Fundamentals and purpose of Tantra
• The practical workings of the human body's internal energetic infrastructure
• The purpose of working with the Chakras and its aim for personal and spiritual development
• The purpose and importance of grounding preparation (for own growth and in the teaching role)
• How to connect with the energetic system i.e. the internal electrical network (nadis) and establishing pathways
• How to connect with the Chakric system through the body, breath and mental awareness.

The afternoon session will enable participants to develop a way of working with the Chakra system, and to understand the requirements for practice, whether personal or within teaching. Topics will include: 

• The qualities required to connect and work with the Chakric system
• Responsibilities towards yourself, and, where relevant, your students in terms of safety, boundaries and ethical practice
• The 3-phase approach for creating a practice.

Additional Information

Lina Mookerjee

Lina gained her Teaching Diploma through the British Wheel of Yoga, under the tutelage of Fay Beddowes. Having been brought up in a Hindu Bengali Brahmin family, she is able to bring to her teaching a depth and richness of Yoga experience which only such a cultural and philosophical heritage can provide.

Lina was an engineer for almost 10 years, but her increasing involvement in integrating her learning with a Western humanistic perspective has meant that she is now a full time yoga teacher. Her practical grounding in the western world, combined with her understanding of an Eastern belief system that has underpinned a Yogic approach to everyday living for millennia, has created an holistic style of yoga which is particularly responsive to the physical and spiritual challenges of modern western life.

At the root of her teaching is a fundamental respect for and acceptance of each of her students - for who they are and whatever stage they have reached. Through her teaching, her aim is to facilitate students' self-exploration and enable their insightfulness to enhance their daily lives. Her Yoga is truly a living Yoga, and Lina is an emphatic example of this.
