Chakra Balancing Yoga Classes

4/5/2017

1 Comment

 
I just started a new series of free yoga classes on my YouTube channel that focuses on the seven chakras. These energetic centers of the body are situated along the spine, or sushumna nadi, and correspond to different physical, emotional, and mental qualities. The word chakra translates to wheel, and they can be imagined as vortexes or swirling balls of energy. 

The idea of chakras can be super hippy dippy or way "out there" for some people. 
They're one of those concepts that some people LOVE and other people are skeptical about. It wasn't until I actually experienced the chakras that I was able to really embrace the idea of them, and I'm hoping through these classes that I can help others find some clarity. There are key organs and bundles of nerves situated around each of the chakras, so while science may not talk about them, there is anatomical proof of something going on there. 

There are so many great resources on chakras available. 
If you're interested I definitely recommend reading more (email me for suggestions!), but practice along with the videos for a basic overview and chakra balancing! 

1. Root Chakra - Muladhara. Located at the base of your spine, associated with the color red and survival: food, housing, safety. 
2. Sacral Chakra - Svadhisthana. Located between your hips in the lower abdomen, associated with the color orange, creativity, emotions, and relationships. 
3. Navel Chakra - Manipura. Located above your navel (also known as solar plexus chakra), associated with the color yellow, self-confidence, and personal drive. 
4. Heart Chakra - Anahata. Located in your chest, associated with the color green or pink, love, and compassion. 
5. Throat Chakra - Vishudda. Located in your throat and mouth, associated with the color turquoise and self expression. 
6. Third Eye Chakra - Ajna. Located between your eyebrows, associated with the color indigo, intuition, imagination, and thinking. 
7. Crown Chakra - Sahasrara. Located at the crown of your head, associated with the color white or gold, connection to a higher power, and bliss.
