Join Ram Vakkalanka for a journey into the subtle energy centers that govern our experience of life known as ‘Chakras’.

In this course, Ram will present the ancient and experiential wisdom about the Chakras as envisaged in the Yoga Upanishads as well as Tantric texts. We begin the journey by exploring the five Koshas, before moving on the the Energy Centers known as ‘Chakras’. We also learn the basic Mantras, Mudras, visualizations as well as simple Meditations on the Chakras.

About the Teacher: Ram Vakkalanka

Ram was born and brought up in India, steeped in the Vedic tradition of life.  Vedic Philosophies (such as Yoga, Vedanta, Tantra), Vedic Sciences (such as Vedic Astrology, Ayurveda) and Vedic practices (such as Meditation, Nada Yoga, Mantras, Mudras, Yantras) form the core of his teachings. Ram shares the authentic wisdom of the Rishis from the ancient texts of India in an easily-understandable language, with a sense of humor. He simplifies – but doesn’t water down – even the most complicated concepts of Vedic and Tantric philosophies, making them easily accessible to everyone. Ram has a very informal and touching style of teaching and effortlessly blends philosophy, story-telling, relevant examples and humor.
