Yoga for Balancing the Manipura – the Third Chakra
Saturday, January 28, 2-3:30
at Asheville Community Yoga
“That by which we fall is that by which we rise.” – Traditional Tantric aphorism
The tantric yogis understood that real transformation involves turning your own “lead” into the shining “gold” that is your greatest personal asset. Your greatest strengths lie hidden in your greatest challenges. In this workshop we will explore the Third Chakra, the Manipura – the subtle energy center where that deep personal power resides often disguised in the form of fears, hang-ups, worries, insecurities and/or jealousies. It is here that personal issues can be transformed into vital energy which can be harnessed for personal growth. The Third Chakra is the Alchemist’s crucible through which you can catalyze your life and provide fuel for the expansive potential of the heart.
Integrating knowledge of yoga and Ayurveda as well as scientific understandings of the neuro-endocrine structures related to the Third Chakra, Kaoverii has developed yoga sequences to help you develop and strengthen the structural, physiological, energetic and emotional aspects of the Third Chakra. You will learn what the traditional Tantric texts have revealed about this sacred energy center and be introduced to Carl Jung’s theory about the Third Chakra and its relevance to your physical and psycho-emotional health, and spiritual growth. You will leave this workshop with yogic tools to help you keep your third chakra balanced, healthy and strong.
This workshop will help you:
- Enhance emotional well being and in turn improve your physical health
- Relieve stress and tension and feel less neurotic and more peaceful and aware
- Improve your digestive function
- Improve your relationships
- Feel clearer about your issues and how to resolve them
- Feel clearer about your purpose
- Use yoga to balance your third chakra and your mind

Yoga Cosmology, Psychology and The Chakras:
A 4-Day Intensive
March 15-18, 2012 (Kirtan Friday March 16th), 7:30 am -5:30 pm each day
Ancient yoga masters believed “as above, so below” and mapped out this relationship in stunningly beautiful detail through their descriptions of the internal energetic lotuses or “chakras.” The chakra system is not only a portal to personal growth and spiritual awakening, it is also, and perhaps more poignantly, the exquisite holographic reflection of the universe within each of us.
Chakras are subtle energy centers which control physical, psychological and spiritual health. Many current teachings about the chakras come from a New Age perspective (post 1970). In this four day intensive workshop you will delve into the chakras from the perspective of the ancient Tantrics – the yogis who first perceived and wrote about the chakras. This workshop offers a history of chakra theory and gives an in-depth look at the system as interpreted by Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and other innovative thinkers.
You will gain a deep understanding of yogic macro and micro cosmology – of how the innate order of the universe reflects in our psychology and subtle anatomy. Asanas and other hatha tantric yoga practices were originally developed to balance the chakra system. You will learn yoga postures and practices to bring the inner world into its natural harmony and balance it with the external order of things. And you will acquire tools, crafted through the timeless technology of yoga and tantra, to balance your own chakra system and to help others balance theirs.
Why Balance the Chakras? Because the chakras control all aspects of our being. When you work to balance your chakra system through yoga, you are creating balance in your mind, body and spirit. At Heaven On Earth Yoga Institute.
