How a Chakra Kriya class is built

One chakra per class, three stages, and a week to go through all seven. What happens in the class, step by step.

Chakra Kriya Yoga works through one chakra at a time. A single class follows three stages, and a week of classes moves through all seven, from the base of the spine to the crown.

The asanas

The class begins with asanas chosen for that chakra. They prepare the body for the kriya.

The breath

Then pranayama chosen for that centre: bhastrika, kapalabhati or alternate-nostril breathing, depending on which chakra the class is working with.

The kriya

The class closes with the kriya itself: a seed mantra, a mudra, a colour and a point of attention held together, sometimes with a gentle bandha.

A week, seven chakras

Run as a week, one class covers one chakra a day, so that a full course moves through all seven in order. A single class stands on its own too.

I teach Chakra Kriya Yoga as a single class or as a seven-day course. If you run a studio or retreat and would like it there, write to me.
