2022 Festival Teacher Training & CEU Opportunities

Teacher Training / Intensive
​A Deep Dive Into the Chakras
​(6 CEU's)

with Robin Ivy Payton, E-RYT 500, YACEP
​$98
​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.
