Episode 97: Chakras and Creativity as a Pathway For Meaning, Beauty, and Transcendence With Erica Jago

Erica Jago is a yoga teacher and graphic designer. She is fearless in her love for yoga and passionate about communication design. Through her signature illustrations of yoga poses, called Asanaglyphs, she found a union between the two. With over 18 years of experience in designing books, she self-published her first book, Art of Attention, ranked #1 on Amazon for design, now translated into six languages, and graphically designed Oprah Winfrey’s The Wisdom of Sundays.    After the making of Art of Attention, chakra studies helped her heal an addiction she had been battling for 25 years. Since then,  she started helping others embrace their beauty to impact those they love. For the pasts ten years, Erica gathered over 300 women and men from more than 42 countries for week-long retreats to study one chakra at a time.   In these retreats, Erica uses her background as a kundalini and vinyasa trained teacher, as well as her experience as a designer to introduce a new methodology—combining storytelling with emotionally connected yoga, visionary art, and nature—to inspire inner knowing, spiritual care and interconnectedness.   For Angelus, her second book, Erica developed 21 yoga sequences, all illustrated with Asanaglyphs. Not only is she the spiritual mastermind behind the book; she also designed the book graphically.    In This Episode We Talk About:

• Erica's personal journey that led her to find yoga.
• How Erica teaches ancient wisdom in a modern and personal way.
• How she received the download for her book Angelus.
• Kundalini yoga and how it can be beneficial for your life.
• The chakra system and how this energetic technology helps us to bring our visions into reality.
• The spiritual practices she used to manifest her book and her non-spiritual practices.
• Angelus, an experiential chakra workbook.
