This workshop focuses on taking students to an in-depth understanding of the seven vital energy centers –or chakras–, and teaching them their relationship to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual states. By learning the essence and use of the chakras, students can expect to improve their quality of life and eliminate states of anguish, self-doubt, depression, fear, guilt, frustration, suffering, and illness. The workshop will focus on providing tools to allow access to the superior abilities of the human being and promote self-development and higher spiritual transcendence.

About the teacher: Miguel Castillo, RYT/IAYT-500, is an internationally recognized NASA scientific researcher, TEDx speaker, author and specialist in holistic medicine and intrapersonal psychology. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the age of 18, Miguel embarked on a tireless search to understand and revoke this crippling disease. To his surprise, his search not only allowed him to completely heal from this condition, but it led him on an inner journey of self-discovery and mastery which he found inside the timeless Hindu, Buddhist, Tantric, and Taoist traditions of India and Tibet. 16 years into his monastic path of initiation under the esoteric lineage of Kashmiri Shaivism, today Miguel is able to transmit esoteric teachings rarely found in the West which focus on inducing experiential events to his disciples. Notes: Students are encouraged to take notes and bring any tool/prop to facilitate their note taking. Lectures will be given with the students sitting on the floor. In case of physical difficulties, chairs can be used. No previous yoga experience is needed.
