The foundation of what you need to know
🌈 CHAKRAS — KNOWLEDGE BASE MODULE
Grounded in the Chakra section from page 93 of the Edge Handbook 2026 Final.pdf.
🌿 Overview: What Are the Chakras?
According to the handbook, there are seven main chakras in yoga, each aligned with the spine and nervous system. Their colors follow the familiar ROYGBIV spectrum:
Root — Red
Sacral — Orange
Solar Plexus — Yellow
Heart — Green
Throat — Blue
Third Eye — Indigo
Crown — Violet
Each chakra also has a corresponding sound vibration and symbol.
📍 Locations in the Body
The workbook asks students to list each chakra location in the body.
Student-friendly phrasing for the Knowledge Base:
Root: base of the spine
Sacral: low belly / pelvis
Solar Plexus: upper abdomen
Heart: center of the chest
Throat: throat
Third Eye: center of the forehead
Crown: top of the head
🌀 How the Chakras Influence Daily Life
The handbook prompts students to consider “how chakra’s affect your daily life”.
For the Knowledge Base, we present this reflection in student-friendly language:
Energy levels
Emotional states
Communication patterns
Decision-making
Personal boundaries
Creativity and intuition
These are reflective—not diagnostic—tools to support mindfulness, awareness, and self-inquiry.
🔗 How Chakras Affect One Another
The workbook asks:“Define the influence of chakra’s on one another?”
Student-friendly KB explanation:
Chakras can be thought of as an interconnected system. When one center feels depleted or overstimulated, it may influence other areas—much like posture, breath patterns, or emotional states influence each other throughout a yoga practice.
This framing stays within the safe, non-medical, reflective tone of your training.
🌈 Visualization & Body Awareness (Context from the Workbook)
The workbook includes guiding prompts such as:“Chakras? Teach them something? Visualization? Body awareness?”
This signals that chakra education in your program focuses on:
Gentle visualization
Somatic awareness
Reflective internal focus
Non-dogmatic teaching
Accessibility for all bodies and belief systems
This module supports those same principles.
🧘 Student Practice Exercise
Choose one chakra and explore:
1. Location
2. Color
3. One way it relates to your daily life
4. One visualization that feels supportive
Upload to Slack:
Which chakra you chose
Your reflection
One sentence on what you noticed in the exercise
This keeps the practice grounded, non-religious, accessible, and optional—aligned with the handbook text and your trauma-informed approach.
Students enrolled in our program may send a Slack DM to Michelle or those interested in enrolling are invited to send a CHAT to begin a conversation.
