Chakra Yoga is a holistic practice of ancient techniques, designed to stimulate the flow of energy vortexes known as chakras. It utilizes all forms and types, from the postures of hatha, to breathing practices of pranayama to mantra and meditation in a systematic self study, leading to an in-depth understanding of Mind over Matter. It goes from the holistic health practices to the mystical and sacred. Because mind is connected to the body through energy (via the nervous system), learning how to work with these energies empowers and balances the chakras, bringing the body to a state of peak health, and the mind to a calm state. The result is a consciousness that is free to embrace its spiritual nature, a mind that is peaceful and clear, and a body that maintains optimum health.
Chakra yoga is an elaborate form of tantra or kundalini yoga. In Tantra tradition the positive and negative, (male and female) energies of the body are united to create blissful feelings, and in chakra yoga these feelings are awakened at the level of each of the chakras.
