Abstract:
"The aim of this thesis is to bring forth new visuals that can be used to bridge the gap between the
modern day interpretation of yoga and the first three chakras and help clarify some of the
misunderstandings. This thesis identifies the significance of the first three chakras, their origins, and
the original descriptions of the chakras and the origins of the modern day interpretations. This thesis
uses advanced 3d visual effects techniques to create dynamic and appealing virtual environments that
illustrate the first three chakras of the human body. An effective visual representation will be of value
to people who are interested in the serious study and practice of yoga."
