Chakras

We have 7 main chakras which are the energy centers of our bodies;Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Root. Every asana (pose) affects a chakra. It is important to open and balance these energy centers for both physical and mental benefits. Have you ever had an instructor tell you to breathe through your heart center? Balancing that fourth chakra increases your capacity toward love and compassion.

Ask your instructor which poses you need to do to balance, strengthening your personal practice. I am also happy to discuss the subject further.

Shanti,

I'm Back!

Coming out of my 3rd week of the flu, I understand how frustrating it is to put your yoga practice on hold. While it is necessary (and nearly impossible) to physically practice, you can use this down-time to meditate. Don't push it...allow yourself time to heal. Your body will tell you when you are ready to perform asanas again. In the meantime, a neti pot and ginger tea may be your best friends!

Wishing you health & happiness!
