Chakra as an experience
Sound familiar: the rainbow-colored circles with unique qualities?
You've probably heard about "balancing your chakras". But did you know chakras can't actually be out of balance? In this training module, we will explore and clarify common misconceptions and unpack other distorted cues surrounding chakras.
This training will bring insight into the more subtle aspects of experiencing energy through the porthole of the chakra. We will explore the anatomy of the chakras themselves, debunking myths, and the techniques to access their illuminative nature.
Chakras are a means of energy perception.

Miriam is the Yoga School Director at Svälja Yoga. She is a lead teacher for Svälja’s House of the Gathering Yoga School, and a lead specialty trauma-conscious yoga guide.
Duluth native Miriam built a bilingual elementary school in Roatan, Honduras after completing her BA at U of MN Twin Cites. Yoga showed her the way to practice being connected and present. She has been a student in yoga classes all over the world, which has broadened her perspective and complemented her practice.
Miriam completed TT200 on the island of Roatan with Martha Berry School in 2011. With Martha's worldly view, Miriam was able to find her voice and personal power in guiding Vinyasa. After discovering Yin Yoga in 2002, Miriam has come to embrace this style. She is now a certified Yin Teacher Trainer with training from the world-renowned instructor Bernie Clark, and is a Levels 1 & 2 Yin Teacher Trainer through Michelle Pietrzak-Wegner. She took her first Yin Yoga Teacher Training in 2015 and has continued to deepen her Yin education with over 70 contact training hours. Miriam has led weekly or twice-weekly Yin studio sessions since 2012, including extended workshops and specialty offerings. Additionally, she is certified in trauma-sensitive yoga through the Center for Trauma and Embodiment, Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga, and has Advanced Adaptive Yoga and Yoga for Trauma & PTSD Training with Matthew Sanford and Mind Body Solutions. She extensively studied Patanjali's Yoga Sutra with her esteemed instructor Bhavani Maki and weaves yoga philosophy teachings into her classes. She completed her RYT500 with the final project of memorizing the entire Samadhi Pada in Sanskrit. See her published piece on Sutra 1.20 in Midwest Yoga+ LIfe. Miriam is also grateful for her extensive studies with Indu Arora in Ayurveda and Yoga Philosophy.
Miriam believes in the power of yoga to transform trauma and stress and lead us to freedom from suffering through daily practice of Patanjali’s Eightfold Path. She enjoys the fellowship and healing power of yoga, as well as the opportunity to nurture a loving space of breath, movement and discerning awareness.
Miriam primarily is dedicated to guiding Svälja’s weekly Trauma-Conscious yoga classes through partnerships with several community organizations. Join Miriam for her Yin + Live Music Collaborations that she has been doing for many years. Also check out her specialty refined-study workshops and Yin Certificate Program!
