Understanding the Chakra System
What Are Chakras?
Chakras are spinning energy centers located along your spine, from the base to the crown of your head. Each chakra governs specific physical, emotional, and spiritual functions. When balanced, you feel aligned. When blocked, things can feel… off.
The Connection Between Yoga and Chakras
Yoga poses (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), and meditation help activate and balance each chakra. It’s a physical and spiritual workout in one. That’s what makes it such a powerful practice for soul wellness.
