Rainbow Body: A Short Practitioner-Scholar Meditation Course
with guest presenter Sravana Bortakaty-Varma, Ph.D.
Chakras, and kuṇḍalinī have a long history of transmission from traditional spaces in India to the digital spaces, which are interwoven with rapid remembering and forgetting. This spread of knowledge is further compounded by religious systems, geographical preferences, and generational favorites.
This short but intensive immersion course provides the scholar-practitioner with a broad understanding of how these terms went through a journey of complex transmissions. This voyage is brought to life by looking at how kuṇḍalinī yoga is practiced within an esoteric tradition in India, and offerings of kuṇḍalinī yoga in the United States. Since the ascent of kuṇḍalinī yoga is through the chakras present in the yogic body, we will focus on the study and practice of activating the chakras.
The course will include readings and meditation homework beginning a week before the first in-person meeting.
A six week series with three in-person Course meetings:
- 18 April Thursday 2 - 3:30 p.m. in Studio B
