Did you know that each chakra is associated with specific postures that influence our emotional and energetic states? In this mini-course, you’ll explore a curated series of poses and variations designed to harmonize and align each of the seven chakras, from root to crown.

Through this easy-to-reference guide, you’ll discover powerful postures for each chakra, providing a resource that both novice practitioners and experienced teachers can rely on to deepen their understanding. The seven high-quality video modules range from 1080p to 4K resolution, offering detailed visual guidance to enhance your experience.

The Structure of Programs:

It’s important to note that our programs are designed as experiential growth journeys, not typical “drop-in” classes. The audio-based format encourages deep introspection and somatic engagement, as opposed to a video-based format that relies on visual stimulation. The intention behind this is to help you connect with your body’s natural movement and energy without external distractions. This may feel different from traditional video-based practices but is essential to the holistic, transformative experience offered.

What others have said:

"I studied with Nikki Baksh, and she taught me a *great deal* about the heritage and lineage of Yoga "

- Annie Hathaway -

Private Student (Oscar-winning Hollywood actress)

" From IMBd to TikTok Nikki Baksh is known as a Caribbean artist and yogi. This class is an opportunity to experience that blended practice. Combining rhythms and musicality from her upbringing she approaches movement from an experiential point of view. This class is aimed to deepen the students coordination and internal mapping of their relationship to their bodies as well as themselves. True to her practice this class encourages students to speak through their bodies with words they didn’t know they had. Jovial as she is, the weight of the diaspora and of our current world is not lost to her. She encourages her students to find their light and spark in the midst of the world they are in, rather than in spite or fear of it. If you have blended emotions that words can’t help to process, this is a class that can help provide a sense of agency and autonomy over your story and how you move in it."

- Adrian Tomby - NYC in-studio attendee

"Nikki is a phenomenal teacher! The Artistry of Yoga centers and grounds me for the week. Then, The Movement lets me see and release whatever I need to get rid of. Perfection! It's the first time that I get to Move however I want to, and she gives everyone the freedom to do that. She gets all these emotions going within me, and it's so liberating. She's really brought out the REAL ME. The fluidity she shows during class is just beautiful to watch and also for us to learn to be fluid and not be so strict in our movements and what we do."

- Doris V. -Zoom participant

" Nikki’s Yoga, Warmup, and Movement classes are a true transformation trifecta that gives me exactly what I need each week to feel aligned, grounded, centered, strong, expansive, and empowered body, mind, and spirit. The dharma talks are GOLD, and I love the benefit of having the On Demand library at my fingertips.” Nikki's Movement class is medicine for my soul! Nikki knows how to connect you to the wisdom of your inner self. She takes life and puts it right in front of you. Movement is life. Nikki is amazing!"

- Betsy -Zoom participant

"I can’t even begin to tell you how I was blown away I was. Nikki is so passionate, so honest, so raw and informative. She dives deeply and takes the time to truly explain what each pose or chakra is. She teaches us to love ourselves and our bodies and be patient...and how yoga isn’t about just coming to the mat but it’s about “living it day to day”. That’s true yoga. I was so inspired by her. She took time after class to spend another 1/2 hour just chatting with me more, diving deeply, and answering my questions. You can tell yoga is love to her; it isn’t just about being robotic and doing a class. If you can take a class with her, I promise you won’t regret it. I’m so excited and looking forward to my next class. You’re phenomenal Nikki."

- Alina T. -Live attendee in NYC

"Nikki's thoughtfully curated programming was presented to me from a yogic perspective...she helped me work through boundaries and "non-negotiables" in other aspects of my life. One of the other most important things she helped me to better understand was my sense of self-worth and how it related to my actions. It has taken me quite a while to break some of the patterns I had established that I thought were valuable, but realized were no longer serving me at this point in my life."

- Erica Marcano - Live attendee and private student in NYC (MS ATC, CSCS)

"Nikki Baksh is a masterful teacher of yoga. Her knowledge of body mechanics blended with her insight into the subtle realm, creates an experience that is both illuminating and empowering. Nikki’s class is like a journey into the deeper realms of the self, integrated with humor, compassion, and grace. Her embodied presence is a reminder that the divine is inherent in all beings and accessible through the human form."
