What students love about CYTT:
An insightful, educational, uplifting training.
I’m a long time yoga practitioner and have my 500hr YTT. For me, this Chakra YTT brought together a lot of my scattered information and helped make it integrated--chakras, vayus, koshas, and pranayama. I now have a much better understanding of how all these parts of the subtle body are related. Larissa is a wonderful teacher and human. She shared high-quality slides and handouts, was very organized, and her presentation was informative and inspiring. You won’t regret taking this training!

I throughly enjoyed Larissa’s Chakra Yoga TT. Larissa brings a huge amount of knowledge and experience to the training and is an excellent teacher. I finished the training with an embodied knowledge of Chakras and felt ready to incorporate it into my teaching. I would highly recommend the training.

Having taken other courses and classes with Larissa, I knew she would present an authentic course with integrity, compassion, joy and intelligence--with a deep knowledge and training about chakras. I was thrilled when she offered this weekend YTT course in a “distance learning” online format. Larissa has extensive experience with online experiential instruction--which translates to easeful "classroom" type experience.

I absolutely loved this Chakra YTT led by Larissa Hall Carlson. Larissa provided a deep and insightful exploration of the chakras, blending theory and movement/practice in a way that felt both enriching and transformative. What I appreciated most about my experience, was the safe space created for growth and self-discovery. I came away from the course not only with a greater understanding of the chakra system, but also with practical tools to integrate into both teaching/ personal practice. I highly recommend this training for anyone looking to deepen their connection to the chakras.

Do I need prior knowledge of the chakras?
Nope! This training is designed to give you a thorough introduction to the chakras, even if you're brand new to working with them.
What are the training benefits of the audio course?
Since chakras are part of the pranamayakosha, having a strong, sattva-boosting pranayama foundation is essential for this deeper energy work. The required 2.5 hour "Pranayama for Restoring Vitality" audio course will provide your chakra-balancing foundation.
