The Anahata Chakra and Heart Centred Practice. – with Gitte Bechsgaard and Sheila Haswell

Event Description:

The Anahata Chakra and Heart Centred Practice.

Within the Yoga Upanishads, the Tantric Scriptures and the Classical text of the Yoga Sutras,
a common thread is grasped. Every Asana, every meditation, every sacred Sanskrit chant is
to act in accordance with the intricate workings of the heart chakra and the entire chakra
anatomy.
As BKS Iyengar writes, “The citadel of purusha is the heart. It is Anahata chakra, the seat of
pure knowledge as well as of consciousness.”
Here, BKS Iyengar echoes the message of the ancient Yoga Rishis when they tell us that
through meditation on the heart we learn to unfold and tap the very source of our being. In
fact, to truly discover our Spiritual Identity we need heart centred Sadhana.
In this Weekend workshop we will focus on the Ancient Tantric teachings on the Anahata
chakra and the rich variety of heart centred sadhana. Together we will be integrating
philosophical theory, ancient maps of Sanskrit Yogic scripture, Sacred Sanskrit mantra and
Iyengar Yoga practice.
