Product Description
This course is considered SELF-CARE.
Western scholars believe that the chakra system began in India around 1500 and 500 BC, when the earliest yoga texts, the Vedas, were written. The West was introduced to Chakras through a book translated from sanskrit and published in 1919, The Serpent Power by Englishman Arthur Avalon. Each chakra is associated with a specific Great Element (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Space). This 4 CEU online class will focus on the five elements of ayurveda, the universal life force of prana, the spiritual laws of each chakra, chakra imbalance, types of meditation, and so much more!
