There are seven Chakras, or energy centers, in the body that can become blocked or over-active from long-held tension, low self-esteem, or over-stimulation. Practicing yoga poses that correspond to each chakra can restore balance in the corresponding area and promote healing and personal evolution.
In Sanskrit Chakra means ‘wheel’ or ‘circle of movement’. There are seven main Chakras or Energy Centers in the human body. They can be thought of as junction points between consciousness and physiology. Yoga is one of the ways to keep the Chakras balanced (not blocked and not hyperactive).
Chakras may be mysterious but we can learn how to be more aware of each part of our body and optimize our chakras.
