Course Description

Unlocking the Mysteries of Chakras: An In-Depth Exploration

The concept of "Chakras" has permeated both Eastern and Western cultures, often interwoven in conversations about health, well-being, and spirituality. While a mention of chakras might be common in a modern yoga studio or a wellness center, the true depth and breadth of this ancient system remain largely uncharted for many.

But what exactly are chakras? Rooted in ancient traditions and cultures, chakras represent energy centers within our body, each corresponding to specific physical, emotional, and spiritual facets. In recent decades, with the rising trend of holistic wellness, the global wellness economy has grown to $4.5 trillion as of 2019, with chakra-based therapies becoming a significant segment.
