As the architecture of the soul, the chakra system is the yoke of yoga-the means whereby mind and body, heaven and earth, and spirit and matter are joined together in the divine union that is the true meaning of yoga.

In this long-awaited book by acclaimed chakra expert Anodea Judith, you will learn how to use yoga's principles and practices to awaken the subtle body of energy and connect with your highest source. Using seven vital keys to unlock your inner temple, you will be guided through practices that open and activate each chakra through postures, bioenergetic exercises, breathing practices, mantras, guided meditation, and yoga philosophy. With beautiful step-by-step photographs for each of the poses, along with guidelines for deeper alignment and activation of the energy body, this book is a valuable resource for teachers and students alike.

It is an illusion that yoga is something you do alone on your mat. In truth, everything that we learn has come down to us through a long line of teachers and students, from Patanjali’s first lectures over two thousand years ago to the creative license teachers take today as they refine poses and create new traditions.

The purpose of chakra-based yoga is to create vibrant health and spiritual awakening through contact with the divine energy of Shakti moving freely through your core and activating all of your chakras. Shakti is the name of the Hindu goddess of primordial energy. She is what everything is made of—the basic life force within and around you. It is said that Shakti is always seeking Shiva, her divine partner, who represents pure consciousness. In her search, Shakti rises up the spine, piercing and awakening each chakra in turn. In this way, she becomes Kundalini-Shakti—the vital energy that awakens the chakras. Chakra-based yoga is a way to prepare the body for the emergence of your spiritual fire.
