A Deep Dive Into the Chakras

​Would you like to be able to articulate and guide your yoga students, clients or your self more clearly with relationship to the most prominent energy centers of the physical and subtle body? Where could a deeper understanding of the chakras take you?

The seven major chakras are often referred to in yoga, reiki, holistic health and intuitive arts, sometimes superficially or without clarity. Robin will present chakra study in an integrated way, drawing from her independent and guided studies, and 25 years of experience as an intuitive reader. Through experiential learning, guided meditation, subtle and physical body anatomy, art, and personal reflection, immerse in your inner universe from crown to feet. 

​This workshop is for the yoga teacher, reiki practitioner, holistic provider in any profession and for personal development, learning to tune in, feel, trust, and care for self and others. Yoga teachers will earn 6 Yoga Alliance recertification credits.

​Reiki I Certification

with Kristine Keegan, Master Teacher Usui Lineage, E-RYT
​Reiki an energy medicine practice that originated in Japan and is taught master to teacher. The practitioner places hands on or near the person receiving treatment with the intent to transmit life force energy (ki/chi).

The benefits to receiving a Reiki treatment include: reduction of stress, chronic pain, recovery from surgery or anesthesia, and the reduction of the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Reiki can lower your heart rate, improve immunity, mental clarity, and enhance your sense of well-being and spirituality. It may also offer a sense of ease and peace to people at the end of life.
​
You will leave feeling confident in your understanding of Reiki and how to treat.
