Chakras Explained:
Clarity Beyond Myths and Misconceptions
A 2-day certificate workshop for yoga teachers and dedicated students
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Join us for one day or dive deep into two full days of practice to:
- Cut through modern misconceptions and reinterpretations surrounding chakras.
- Discover how chakras were understood and used in classical Tantra - and why.
- Practice powerful rarely taught techniques that involve chakras.
- Understand where the modern chakra model comes from, how it differs from traditional views, and why this distinction matters.
- Stand out as a well-informed yoga teacher in an age of oversimplification and confusion
Chakras are among the most exciting topics for modern yoga practitioners - and also among the least understood.
Over time, these teachings have been wrapped in colorful stories and layered with unrelated ideas: rainbow colors, crystals, angels, musical notes, organs, psychological states. While appealing and entertaining to the mind, this accumulation often obscures the real purpose of chakra practice and turns a powerful yogic tool into a conceptual fantasy.
In this workshop, we won’t add another story to the pile. We will cut through misconceptions and return to the original intention of chakra teachings as they were used within the yogic and tantric traditions.
This will not be a purely theoretical exploration. We will practice what is usually only discussed - integrating philosophy, breathwork, meditation, and guided awareness practices to directly experience how chakras function as meditative supports. This is a hands-on return to the essence of the chakra teachings - not as mythology, but as living practice. Welcome.

Meet Your Instructors
Yogi Alex
Alex's journey with meditation and Eastern philosophy began in his teenage years, and he has been immersed in the study and practice of yoga since 1998. Rather than focusing solely on the physical aspects, he delves into the deeper essence of yoga. After apprenticing with a yoga master for five years and receiving spiritual initiation, Alex began teaching in 2004.
Since then, his dedication to learning from leading experts and sharing the profound wisdom of yoga has only grown. Besides intellectual study, Alex's teachings are rooted in years of daily meditation, periods of solitude, and intensive yogic practices. He trained over sixty 200HR and 300HR Yoga Teacher Trainings and conducted numerous advanced yoga courses and workshops, both online and in person. Alex's goal is to demystify the core and hidden power of yoga, presenting it in a straightforward and accessible way to benefit practitioners worldwide.
Estefa
Estefa found yoga at a pivotal moment, discovering a practice that transformed her life and helped her overcome chronic back pain while deepening her body awareness. After more than a decade in the beauty industry with major companies like L’Oréal and LVMH, she left her high-level corporate role to follow her calling into the world of yoga. Now, with six years of teaching experience in top Dubai studios, Estefa is dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space for her students, meeting each of them where they are on their unique journey.
Certified in Rishikesh, India, and Koh Samui, Thailand, Estefa is also trained in Yin Yoga, Sound Healing, and Reiki. She leads transformative global retreats, offering spaces for deep self-connection and community. For Estefa, yoga is a holistic lifestyle- a beautiful path to healing, growth, and presence.
