Have you ever felt disconnected, low on energy, or emotionally blocked? These sensations may be signs that one or more of your chakras are out of balance. In the ancient science of yoga, chakras are energy centers within the body that influence every aspect of our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
When these chakras are aligned and activated through yoga, breathwork, and meditation, we experience clarity, balance, and purpose in life.
Let’s explore the beautiful journey through the 7 chakras, and how yoga helps us realign with our true self.
1. Muladhara – The Root Chakra
Location: Base of the spine
Element: Earth
Represents: Safety, survival, grounding
When blocked, you may feel anxious or insecure. Yoga poses like Tadasana (Mountain Pose) or Malasana (Garland Pose) help reconnect you with the earth and build stability.
Root your life in strength and stability. Like a tree, you can only grow tall if your roots are deep.
2. Svadhisthana – The Sacral Chakra
Location: Below the navel
Element: Water
Represents: Creativity, sensuality, emotions
An imbalanced sacral chakra may cause emotional numbness or creative block. Hip-opening poses like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) or Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) restore flow.
When emotions flow freely, so does creativity. Yoga helps you embrace joy and movement.
3. Manipura – The Solar Plexus Chakra
Location: Stomach area
Element: Fire
Represents: Confidence, willpower, transformation
A blocked solar plexus can lead to low self-esteem and procrastination. Core-strengthening poses like Navasana (Boat Pose) and Plank ignite your inner fire.
This is your inner sun — when it shines, you step into your power.
4. Anahata – The Heart Chakra
Location: Center of the chest
Element: Air
Represents: Love, compassion, forgiveness
When this chakra is imbalanced, you may feel closed off or resentful. Heart-opening poses like Ustrasana (Camel Pose) and Bridge Pose promote emotional healing.
Love begins with the self. Open your heart and let life flow through you.
5. Vishuddha – The Throat Chakra
Location: Throat
Element: Ether
Represents: Communication, truth, expression
When blocked, we may struggle to express ourselves or feel unheard. Poses like Shoulder Stand or Lion’s Breath activate this chakra.
Speak your truth with clarity. Yoga helps you find your voice — and use it wisely.
6. Ajna – The Third Eye Chakra
Location: Between the eyebrows
Element: Light
Represents: Intuition, wisdom, vision
An imbalanced third eye can cause confusion or poor decisions. Child’s Pose and Meditation encourage inner stillness and clarity.
7. Sahasrara – The Crown Chakra
Location: Top of the head
Element: Thought / Cosmic energy
Represents: Spiritual connection, enlightenment
When blocked, you may feel disconnected or lost. Deep meditation, Savasana, and chanting mantras help awaken this center.
This is the gateway to the universe. Through yoga, we transcend ego and touch the divine.
Yoga: The Bridge Between You and Your Chakras
Through consistent yoga practice, we create a sacred alignment — body, breath, and spirit in harmony. Each asana, each breath, each moment of mindfulness opens the pathway to your inner healing and personal evolution.
