In the second of a series exploring the Chakras, we will begin with an exploration of the second chakra: Svadhisthana. Through the tools of restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra and reiki/energy work we will ease our second chakra into balance.
Located above the pubic bone, below the navel, Svadisthana can be translated as “the dwelling place of the self.” It is the chakra that governs relationships: both with the Self and with others. When this chakra is balanced, a person will enjoy a strong sense of creativity, and balanced emotional and sexual wellbeing.

A healthful second chakra leads to feelings of wellness, abundance, pleasure, and joy. Likewise, self respect, personal magnetism, and refinement in behavior grow and flow freely.

We will begin with a short introduction to the subtle energy body and the importance of the second chakra to our wellbeing. We will then nestle into supported restorative postures to cultivate grounding in the body and openness in the Svadishthtana.

To facilitate the benefits of the restorative postures, Sarah will offer gentle hands on mobilization and adjustments to the physical body. Energetically, she will additionally provide (hands on or off) support to maximize the energetic focus of our practice. Sarah offers a strong background in manual therapy, and energetic healing techniques.  A few of the tools she may employ include Sensory Integration, Myofascial Release, Subtle Alignment Technique ( Meridian work), Reiki, Acupressure. Amanda will guide a Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) experience to ease you into deep relaxation with the intention of cultivating connection to the second chakra.

This offering will be limited to ten participants so we are able to give ample hands-on work and attention. No experience is required — just an open heart and mind. Participants are encouraged to bring a soft blanket to this offering.

Sarah and Amanda love working together. Both women are passionate about their work and it is palpable in the experience of their class. One student described them as “peanut butter and jelly." Their complimentary offerings provide a full spectrum experience that is intended to encourage health in Body, Mind and Spirit.
