Chi-Town Shakti
Chi-Town
Shakti is committed to bringing the peace and
serenity of Shambhava Yoga right into the
heart of the windy city. We endeavor to share
with our students all the possibilities that
living a yogic life can bring to their urban
experience. Our goal is to create a yogic
environment with depth and expansiveness, one
that encourages exploration and positive
experimentation. We offer yoga teacher
trainings as part of the Shambhava School of
Yoga. As a yoga center we honor the teachings
of the Shambhava School, its founder, Rishi
Mahamandaleshwar Sri Shambhavananda, and his
lineage of teachers. We attempt to offer
programs and classes that are derived from or
harmonious with the Shambhava School.
The fundamentals of Shambhava asana practice center on safety, biomechanical alignment, personal exploration on the part of the student, and generating deeper internal awareness. We teach a balancing form of hatha yoga that starts from a deep relationship with the breath. We work with classical asanas that can be integrated into the teacher's own creative style of yoga class. Students learn to move consciously with the breath to unlock tightness and restricted holding patterns. We give students tools to integrate asana practice with a regular meditation practice. Shambhava hatha yoga encourages the development of inner awareness and a connection with the flow of subtle energy within to create inner balance. Our pranayama, hatha yoga and meditation techniques are meant to help students open to the flow of subtle inner energy in a gentle and natural way.
