Why Chopra Signature Flow?
Each of Deepak Chopra's Seven Spiritual Laws of Success are the laws of nature applied to the human experience. While rooted in ancient wisdom, these laws or ways offer practical insights for our modern lives. By understanding and integrating them during the Chopra Signature Flow, we pave the way for a life of greater harmony, abundance, and purpose.
1 The Law of Pure Potentiality
2 The Law of Giving and Receiving
3 The Law of Karma (or Cause and Effect)
4 The Law of Least Effort
5 The Law of Intention and Desire
6 The Law of Detachment
7 The Law of Dharma (or Purpose in Life)
“The underlying principles of yoga are principles that support a life of balance, flexibility, and vitality.”
At the Ayurvedic, we practice Whole-Person Care and that begins with self-reflection, the inward journey. The Chopra Signature Flow is a deep dive into the self where we're encouraged to confront, embrace, and understand all aspects of ourselves through all the layers of life. This continual process of reflection removes illusions and ego, revealing the true nature of our being.
Physical postures, asanas, are not mere exercises but sacred, geometric shapes of awareness. Each pose is a testament to the full spectrum of the human experience. They serve as channels, releasing deep-seated emotions, traumas, and stagnant energy, leading to mental clarity and a lightness of being.
The Chopra yoga lens integrates Ayurveda, an age-old science of well-being, emphasizing personalized pathways to optimal health. Rooted in the idea that every individual is distinctive, Ayurveda's principles of balance and harmony are seamlessly woven into the Chopra yoga style, synergizing individual energies with the rhythms of nature.
The pinnacle of the Chopra perspective on yoga is self-realization. It's a profound awakening where we recognize our true, boundless potential. It's a celebration, an acknowledgment of the divine spark within each of us. We deploy Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success to frame our journey to wellness and make room for Source to work in our lives.
Through the Chopra perspective, breathwork/pranayama is a rhythmic dance connecting the individual spirit to the universe. This intentional breathing acts as a catalyst, dispelling inertia and rejuvenating every aspect of our being.
Mindful awareness stands out as a pivotal cornerstone, anchoring us to the present moment. Amidst the many distractions of the modern world, the Chopra approach emphasizes the gift of being present. Through Chopra Yoga, we rest our awareness on whatever arises, witnessing every thought, breath, sensation, and movement. This cultivates a profound connection to oneself and the universe.
Pratyahara
In today's digital era, the incessant pings from our devices, the endless allure of social media, and the captivating narratives of podcasts surround us. This sensory overload, when left unchecked, feeds the vrittis - the whirlwind of thoughts, patterns, and fluctuations in our minds.
Pratyahara isn’t merely about physical silence or seclusion; it’s a deliberate withdrawal from the sensory onslaught, an inner retreat. By harnessing Pratyahara, we're not just seeking the quiet space within, but looking for the space between our thoughts and between the breaths. This is the space before manifestations and after dissolution, where anything is possible. Only when we rest in that space of no particular thing are we tuned into the realm of pure potentiality.
