What is Energy Workout — and how is it different from a regular workout?

Short answer: Energy Workout is a 75-minute group class where each block targets one of the seven chakras — with a mix of strength, movement, breathwork and inner awareness. You leave not just physically exercised but emotionally reset. Classes are held Mondays at 18:15 in Stockholm. 200 SEK.

Most workouts have one goal: train the body. Energy Workout has another: move the energy underneath — the tension stored in muscles, the emotions held in tissues, the patterns keeping you stuck. It happens through the body, but the effect goes deeper.

What "7 chakras" actually means in practice

The chakras are not a mystical concept here — they are a pedagogical map. Each chakra represents an energy center in the body connected to specific emotions, movement qualities and inner states.

The class moves from earth to sky:

01 Root — Grounded · Safe · Strong Heavy, anchoring music. Leg strength and grounding movement to help you feel secure and steady in your body.

02 Sacral — Creative · Joyful · Fluid Flowing hip movement to unlock creativity, emotions, and the simple joy of moving.

03 Solar Plexus — Confident · Powerful · Clear Core activation and fire breath. The block where your inner power ignites and self-doubt begins to dissolve.

04 Heart — Open · Connected · Loving Heart-opening stretches and expansive movement. Giving and receiving more freely.

05 Throat — Expressive · True · Free Dynamic breathwork, stretch and sound — releasing what you have been holding back.

06 Third Eye — Intuitive · Clear · Still Guided movement and inner awareness. Reconnecting with what you already know.

07 Crown — Connected · Purposeful · Whole Meditation, breath and stillness — opening to something larger than what you carry alone.

Why you leave differently than you arrived

Most people describe three things after class:

  • Lightness in the body. Not the tiredness of having pushed hard — the lightness of having set something down.
  • Clarity in the mind. The class does not just empty the body; it creates space in the mind.
  • A feeling of having landed. As if you have been returned to yourself.

Your body already knows how to heal. You just need to move.

That is not poetry — it is the principle. Movement is one of the most direct ways the body has to process and release what it carries.

Who it is for

Energy Workout is for you if:

  • You are tired of exercise that only trains the outside
  • You carry stress, tension or the feeling of being stuck
  • You want a class that also calms the nervous system
  • You are curious about chakras but want to meet them through the body, not just through theory
  • You want community — something to carry into the week

No prior knowledge of chakras required. No particular fitness level required. Just show up.

Frequently asked questions

What happens during an Energy Workout class?

The class is 75 minutes and moves through all 7 chakras, one block at a time. Each block has its own music, movement and intention — from grounding leg work (Root) to expansive movement (Heart) to meditation and stillness (Crown). You work out the body and release stored tension at the same time.

Do I need to be fit to join Energy Workout?

No. Energy Workout welcomes everyone, regardless of fitness level. The movements are designed to meet you where you are — strength builds from the inside out, not the outside in.

How is Energy Workout different from yoga or dance?

Energy Workout combines elements of strength training, movement and breathwork — but the guiding principle is the chakra system and somatic awareness. It is neither a pure yoga class nor a dance class. Closest description: a class that trains the body and regulates the nervous system at the same time.
