The spiritual and physical come together in the chakras. Meaning wheel in Sanskrit, the
chakras are swirling energy centers in the body, which begin at the base of the spine and
run upwards through the crown of the head. 

When in balance, the energetic channels flow freely, and you feel at ease in your thoughts,
actions, and relationships. When one of these seven chakras become blocked, we suffer
from a host of physical, emotional, and psychological ills. Tension builds in the body and
negative thought patterns may develop. 

Physical postures and meditation practices, like those used in yoga, can help release
stored tension in the body and balance the chakras. You can restore the natural flow of
your seven chakras with these yoga poses to bring harmony to the mind, body, and soul.

1. Root chakra (Muladhara chakra)

The root chakra, located at the base of the spine, corresponds to fundamental needs like
shelter, safety, food, family, and finances. When in balance, we feel grounded and secure
with roots firmly planted. When out of balance, we lack a solid foundation and feel
stressed about those essential needs like making ends meet or feeling emotionally
supported.
If you feel insecure in your foundational needs, incorporate malasana (yoga squat) into
your daily practice. Separate thighs and squat down. Place hands in prayer or use them to
support you on the mat. Hold the pose and focus on the affirmation: “I am grounded and
safe.”  MOST READ NOW:

practice. Step one foot toward the back of your mat to come into warrior I. On the inhale,
bring your arms up over your head. Repeat the affirmation: “I stand in my personal power.”
