EPISODE 25

In this two-part series, Sandy and Keith turn their attention to the subtle body, beginning with the first three cakras. These energy centers are more than just symbolic: they influence how we relate to safety, creativity, power, and our sense of belonging in the world.

Together they explore the colours, bija mantras, corresponding asanas, senses, and elements associated with each cakra, while weaving in the broader map of subtle body 101: the three principle nāḍīs, the seven energy wheels, and the mysterious journey of kuṇḍalinī rising.

Drawing from the Jivamukti Yoga tradition, rooted in Haṭha Yoga, this episode is both a practical and philosophical dive into how energy moves through the body — and how “the body keeps the score.” On the mat, we’re given permission to feel and to work things out somatically, transforming knowledge into lived experience.

Whether you’re brand new to the cakra system or revisiting familiar ground, this episode invites you to see how ancient teachings can illuminate everyday life.
