Follow me on:

Hari Kirin Khalsa is a yoga teacher and a creative arts therapist. This January, she's offering a 5 day workshop at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts on the 5th Chakra/Thyroid. The program, titled Kundalini Yoga and Expressive Arts for the Fifth Chakra and Thyroid, will be held from January 3 to 8, 2010. In energy theory, the fifth chakra is the energetic center of self-expression, language, teaching, communication, and embodying dharma. Fifth chakra difficulties include insecurity, fear of other people's opinions and judgments, and throat, neck, and thyroid problems.

In this workshop, Khalsa will be teaching Kundalini Yoga, meditation, and creative work to stimulate, balance, and open the fifth chakra. The belief is that specific postures, breathing exercises, sounds, and deep relaxation can positively affect the thyroid and other glands, creating a sense of well-being and connection. Learn more about the workshop now. .
