Have We Forgotten The True History Of The Chakras?

Most of us learned that the chakras are an ancient yogic system, but what if that story isn’t quite true? In this talk, I take you down the rabbit hole that completely changed how I understand chakras. We'll deep dive into the forgotten history of the modern Western chakra system from early Tantric philosophy to Theosophy, Carl Jung, and the New Age movement. You’ll learn how a mix of Western psychology, color theory, and mysticism transformed a centuries-old meditation map into today’s popular seven-chakra rainbow model.

Together, we’ll explore: How Western thinkers and energy-healing culture shaped the modern chakra system's evolution. What Sanskrit scholars reveal about the original Tantric practices. How source amnesia nearly re-wrote history.

This talk is for yoga teachers, philosophy students, and really anyone who's ever felt like the chakra system didn't quite add up. Get ready because this conversation will change how you see yoga history forever.
