Chakra Activation to Awaken Your Energy Body

This yoga workshop at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, is a chakra-focused program led by Anodea Judith, a best-selling author and chakra expert. It brings together yoga, bioenergetics, meditation, pranayama and partner practices, with room for lively discussion along the way. It suits newcomers to yoga or energy work as well as seasoned practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of the chakra system and its psychological side.

What to Expect

The workshop moves through the chakras one at a time. Anodea Judith pairs energizing yoga sequences, each shaped to a particular energy center, with teaching on the psychology and wisdom that belongs to it. Pranayama and partner practices help bring that understanding into the body, so the ideas are felt as well as discussed. The aim is to awaken your energy body, recharge your spirit and leave with practical tools you can keep using.

The program runs four days, with three days of sessions with Anodea Judith. It opens with check-in from 2:00 pm, a Kripalu Yoga class in the late afternoon, dinner, and a first program session from 7:30 to 9:00 in the evening.

The full days follow a steady rhythm:

- 6:30 to 7:45 am: Kripalu Yoga class
- 7:30 to 9:00 am: silent breakfast
- 9:00 am to 12:00 pm: morning program session
- 11:30 am to 1:30 pm: lunch
- 1:45 to 4:45 pm: afternoon program session
- 4:45 to 6:00 pm: Kripalu Yoga class
- 5:30 to 7:30 pm: dinner

On the final morning there is yoga and silent breakfast, then a program session from 9:00 to 11:30, followed by lunch and departure. Times can shift, so the schedule given at check-in and the Guest Boards are the final word on timing and room locations.

The Setting

Kripalu is a center for yoga and health in Stockbridge, in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. Accommodations are intentionally simple, designed to help you unplug and feel grounded. You can choose a private room if you want solitude and personal space, or a shared, community-style dorm if you would like more connection with other guests. Rooms are ready by 4:00 pm, and there is a luggage room for bags if you arrive earlier.

Three nutritious meals are served each day, and breakfast is taken in silence. Guests also have access to the Kripalu grounds and facilities.
