Ready to Align Your Chakras?

By Lipsa Shah

If you’ve taken a class at Midtown Yoga, you’ve likely heard our teachers referring to “chakras.” The chakra system is an energetic system that you don’t necessarily see, but you can absolutely feel it if you pay close enough attention. We’re here to break down why your belly may feel like it’s heating up under stressful situations, or why you may not be able to get the words out when you need to express your true feelings. If this is your first introduction to the chakras, we invite you to absorb this information--then revisit it and start to explore these concepts on your mat.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda, which translates to, “knowledge of life” can be dated back to 5,000 years ago. Although you will often hear ayurveda referred to as a sister to yoga, ayurveda precedes yoga. Ayurveda addresses everything that makes life worth living; it deals with the physical body, healing yourself naturally, which will in turn heal your spirit. True enjoyment of your life is possible only when there is true health. AKA living your best life!

What is Mercury Retrograde?

About three or four times a year, the planet Mercury will go into retrograde. That is to say it moves in an opposite direction of planet Earth. Planets move from east to west around the sun, but when Mercury turns to move west to east, that is the retrograde. In astrology, Mercury is the planet that rules communication so basically, all communication is about to go haywire.
