30 Day Chakra Sādhanā
30 Day Chakra Sādhanā
Participate in this 30-day commitment to study and practice, studying a system of chakras and their yoginīs as found in a 13th century yoga text called the Matsyendrasaṃhitā.
This unique 30-Day Chakra Sādhanā was offered live May-June 2024. It is now available on-demand for you to enjoy at your own pace.
During the sādhanā we will both study and practice, giving you an opportunity to:
- Engage with the philosophy and practices from a historically significant yoga text, the Matsyendrasaṃhitā
- Intimately explore the 7 chakras and their corresponding yoginī deities
- Integrate visualization, mantra, breath, and posture into a potent chakra-based contemplative practice
- Deepen your understanding of kuṇdalinī-śakti, the transformative energy of awakening
Each day for 30 days, Jacob Kyle (Director of Embodied Philosophy) will guide you through teachings from the text along with a focused practice, splitting time evenly between knowledge and experience. As you progress through 5 thematic "movements", you'll discern fact from fiction about the chakras, while harnessing their potential through an experimental yet Tantric approach.
Here’s a glimpse of what we’ll explore together…
- The founders of Haṭha Yoga and the frame story of Matsyendranātha
- The 7 Chakra Yoginīs and how to work with their symbols and mantras
- Origins of the chakra system in the Kaula and Kubjikā Śākta traditions
- Central mantras and vibrational tools from the text
- Yantras, maṇḍalas, and sacred geometry for meditation
- The relationship between Tantric Yoga and Haṭha Yoga
