About the Class:  Prana is the vital life force energy which pervades all of existence. This energy travels through the nadies and is channeled to different parts of the body via the Chakra System. In this course we will learn the basic skills to feel channel and direct this pervasive energy. As the chakra system is balanced, it creates balance on the physical level. This energy work allows you, as the therapist, to offer therapeutic treatment to your client which does not require physical effort from you. Studies have shown that yoga postures create flexibility in the body while strengthening and toning the muscle tissue. Yoga balances the endocrine system, energizes the chakras and detoxifies the internal organs. Energetically, the breathing techniques harmonize the prana or life force energy that flows through our bodies. Incorporating these techniques into your massage treatments will enhance your practice and bring vibrant health to your clients.
