The seven chakras are the archetypal moments shared by everybody—the template of the human life. Release the past, come into the present, open your heart and allow stillness and peace to come over the mind so you can practice courage, compassion and humility. In this challenging Vinyasa class, Rolf Gates takes you on a flowing journey through the chakras, focusing on the relationship between the root (feet) and your core. Have a block and strap available.
