Have Questions?

1. Who is this program for?

This program is designed for creatives, yoga instructors, movement therapists, dancers, holistic practitioners, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of somatic movement and chakra alignment. Whether you want to enhance your teaching skills, explore personal healing, or integrate a more holistic approach into your practice, this training offers valuable tools and insights.

​

2. What are the prerequisites?

There are no specific prerequisites for Part 1: The Artistry of the Chakras. However, a basic understanding of yoga or energy work can be helpful. Part 2: Somatic Movement & Teaching Methodology requires the completion of Part 1 as it builds on the foundational knowledge and practices covered in the online course.

​​

​

3. Can I take Part 1 without committing to Part 2?

 Yes, you can enroll in Part 1: The Artistry of the Chakras as a standalone course. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the chakra system and somatic practices that can enhance your personal growth and teaching. If you later decide to continue with Part 2, you’ll have the foundational knowledge needed to succeed.

​

​

4. Can I take Part 2 without having completed Part 1?

Taking Part 2 without first completing Part 1 is like jumping into a 300-hour yoga teacher training without having done the foundational 200-hour course. Part 1 lays the essential groundwork, providing the knowledge and skills needed to fully benefit from and integrate the more advanced practices in Part 2. For the best experience and to ensure you’re fully prepared, we recommend completing Part 1 before moving on to Part 2.
