A FREE VIDEO EVENT
Gary Kraftsow
Explore how you can begin resolving karma and awakening deep inner peace and lasting fulfillment by using the chakra system as a map to free yourself from four links of the chain that binds us to recurring frustration, tension, and suffering.
Experience the yogic path to freedom and fulfillment in a guided self-inquiry meditation.
Ancient yogis believed that we naturally embody an energetic map that can guide us toward greater health, happiness, and inner peace.
This map is expressed through the cakras, known as chakras in the West. Each cakra holds a key to unlocking different elements of the psyche that keep us stuck in recurring patterns that stifle our evolution.
Meditative self-inquiry with each cakra, as master yoga teacher Gary Kraftsow teaches, can reveal and resolve hidden patterns within the psyche — and help us break free from our conditioning, attachments, and cycles of suffering...
... and uncover the true source of freedom and fulfillment in the process.
From the earliest teachings of yoga, sages described a world where every thought, action, feeling, and reaction shapes our experience — and binds us to a self-perpetuating loop of action and consequence that is deeply entangled in the “world of name and form.”
Over time, this loop creates an accumulation of karma — unresolved issues and continuing frustration, tension, and suffering that interferes with our capacity for happiness and fulfillment.
During this insightful online event with Gary, you’ll explore how the cakra map can help you recognize these unconscious, unhealthy patterns — and unravel the programming that keeps you bound to pain and struggling... and only fleeting moments of peace.
Gary will also introduce meditative self-inquiry (svādhyāya) following the map of the cakra-s.
Svādhyāya is one of the most important methods of Antya Krama, an orientation to practice focused on resolving karma that includes many techniques, including movement, breathwork, and mantra that together can help us release the egoic identification that traps us in the ongoing cycle of attachment and aversion.
During this meditative practice, which demonstrates the yogic path to freedom and fulfillment, you’ll reflect on a recent personal experience and witness how it sparked your conditioning — and how your own response to this triggering may have reinforced the cycle of suffering.
Guided by decades of study with legendary yogis T.K.V. Deśikāchar and Tirumalai Kriṣhṇamācārya, Gary will share how you can move beyond surface-level yoga practices into a potent, integrative journey of self-inquiry.
The insights you gain from this practice may help you attain greater clarity, compassion, and release.
If you’ve ever sensed that your deepest patterns are trying to show you something, or if you long to stop circling the same frustrations and start walking a path to real peace — this event is for you.
In this free online event, you’ll:
- Gain a deeper understanding of the cakra-s (chakras) as a map to free yourself from four links of the chain that binds you to recurring suffering
- Understand the self-perpetuating cycle of action and consequences — and how this relates to your karma
- Be guided in a meditative self-inquiry as a practical example of the yogic path to freedom and fulfillment
- Explore what the ancients meant by our entanglement in the world of name and form — and recognize that reality within yourself
- Discover Antya Kramayoga — a path to freedom from the cycle of action and consequence, entanglement in the world of name and form, and to the succession of the experience of frustration, tension, and suffering
In joining us for Gary’s online event, you’ll also be among the first to learn about his new 12-week live video course, where you'll learn how to free yourself from karmic cycles — situations, frustrations, and suffering — with Antya Krama yoga, an ancient process that includes asana, pranayama, chanting, mantra japa, and cakra-based meditations and practices for resolving karma and awakening deep inner peace and fulfillment.

What People Are Saying About Gary Kraftsow...
I deeply enjoyed the Viniyoga approach to experiencing yoga. The in-depth lecture portion in this program provided a substantial context and a cumulative foundation for practice. The teachings of each aspect — chanting, pranayama, and asana — started simply and deepened in complexity. The content was beautifully synergistic and skillfully delivered. Gary Kraftsow is a master teacher and illuminates the Eightfold Path with great intelligence. He makes the ancient teachings accessible. I am grateful and feel inspired to study further.

Gary’s teaching raises as many new questions as it answers. And that’s high praise and proof he is taking you deeper. Much of yoga has become performative and repetitive. Gary goes deeper — where you might squirm, be wrong, or certainly challenged — but that is where new learning and awareness is.
