EPISODE 26

In the second half of this cakra deep dive, Sandy and Keith journey into the higher centres of compassion, self-love, teachers, and cosmic consciousness. These cakras invite us into subtler, more expansive territory — from the walls we build around our hearts to the possibility of flipping our entire worldview.

The conversation moves through forgiveness, self-esteem, and the ways practice can both support and challenge us. Why do Jivamukti classes traditionally include three wheels? Why might shoulder stand not be everyone’s friend — and what’s Sandy’s “bougie” shoulder stand setup all about? Keith also shares his ongoing struggles with child’s pose, reminding us that even the simplest shapes can hold profound lessons.

As the discussion opens toward the crown cakra, cosmic consciousness comes into view: the possibility of dissolving separateness and feeling the vastness of connection. Throughout, Sandy and Keith reflect on how these teachings weave naturally into āsana practice, making the subtle body something we can experience, not just study.

Whether you’re exploring forgiveness, searching for more compassion, or simply curious about how the cakras inform yoga practice, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight.
