Model Yoga

We focus on the First Chakra or the Root Chakra, the Muladhara Chakra. The First Chakra is where you hold your stability, trust and connection with yourself. There are many different levels of yoga. We are going to be focusing on some relatively basic poses to create a foundation for your practice, while also creating a foundation in yourself and developing your emotional, mental, and energetic stability. Being a Model can lead to a lot of traveling to beautiful foreign places and today's class will help you to feel at home wherever your modeling career may take you.

We focus on the Second Chakra or the Sacral Chakra, the Svadisthana Chakra. The Second Chakra is your center for connecting with your creativity, desires, emotions, vitality and sensuality. When this energy center is balanced, there is a connection to the five senses and you feel fully alive. We are still working on developing your practice and today's postures will build on the Chakra 1 postures that you have already done.

The third part focuses on Third Chakra or the Solar Plexus Chakra, the Manipura Chakra. The Third Chakra is the energy center of self-will, power and intention. When this energy center is balanced, there is a sense of being comfortable in one's own skin, and you will have a healthy sense of willpower. In today's poses we are going to work on building that confidence and fire inside of you that will drive you throughout your modeling career.

We focus on the Fourth Chakra or the Heart Chakra, the Anahata Chakra. The Heart Chakra is your center for self-love, acceptance, giving and receiving. When this energy center is balanced, you will feel openhearted and ready for true connections in the modeling world and the people in it. We are going to be working on flowing gracefully between poses, the same way you may be asked to move between poses and expressions on a photo shoot.

We focus on the Fifth Chakra or the Throat Chakra, the Vishuddha Chakra. The Fifth Chakra is your center for expressing yourself, finding your voice and speaking your truth. When this energy center is balanced you will feel free, fully alive and fully yourself. By this time, your Model Yoga practice is coming along nicely and you should be feeling changes in your physical, mental and energetic bodies and seeing your inner glow shining through.

The Sixth Chakra or the Third Eye Chakra, is the Ajna Chakra. This Chakra is your center for connecting with your intuition, vision and perception. The first five Chakras focus mainly on the physical and are a little easier to tap into. With the Sixth Chakra we are still going to be doing physical postures, but we will focus our energy on our mind and the awareness of our thoughts. When the Sixth Chakra is balanced you will have a sense of clarity and trust that everything is perfect just the way it is.

Finally, we focus on the Seventh Chakra or the Crown Chakra, the Sahasrara Chakra. There are many words that can be used to describe what you will feel when the Seventh Chakra is balanced. Some of these words or feelings would be Bliss, Nirvana, Samadhi, Inner Peace or connection with your Higher Self. These feelings are possible when All the Chakras are Balanced and Awakened. As a model when you develop and nurture these sensations you will be beaming with light and the world will notice your grace, confidence, brilliance and shine.
