Chakras 5, 6, & 7 Shot

About This Class

This 17-minute dynamic flow with Hilaire Lockwood is a deeply introspective journey through the fifth (Vishuddha/throat), sixth (Ajna/third eye), and seventh (Sahasrara/crown) chakras. The class opens in comfortable cross-legged seated meditation with chanting of Om and Shanti, inviting students to explore the quality of their communication — outward, inward, and energetic — while visualizing deep blue and violet light filling the throat and mind space. The instructor weaves rich philosophical themes of creative expression, intuition, authentic voice, and spiritual transcendence throughout. The physical centerpiece is Baddha Surya Sarvasana A (supported headstand) practiced at the wall, explicitly framed as an energetic inversion to flush and activate the upper chakras rather than as an advanced posture. Detailed alignment cues address bandha engagement, elbow weight distribution, and spinal integrity, with modifications available at every stage. The practice closes with gentle supine twists, child's pose, and a final Om with Namaste mudra brought to forehead, lips, and heart. The overall experience is slow, contemplative, and restorative in spirit despite its dynamic classification, making it ideal for evening winding-down or mindfulness-focused sessions.
