Illustrated diagram of the 7 chakras aligned along the spine, representing energy centers in the body for yogic philosophy

Chakras in Yoga

Chakras are spinning energy wheels along your spine, guiding prana—your life force. They explain mood swings, energy dips, or bursts of joy. This guide covers the 7 chakras: their spots, roles, block signs, and simple fixes. New to yoga? No worry—start with one breath to feel the shift toward balance and wellness.

Chakra Basics

Chakras spin prana like energy hubs. Sanskrit for "wheel," they blend body and spirit for smooth flow.

Yoga Role

They awaken kundalini power via meditation. Ancient texts use them for growth and stress fix.

7 chakras climb from earth roots to cosmic highs. Tune low for stability, high for insight.

Subtle Body

  • Nadis: Energy rivers; Ida (cool), Pingala (warm), Sushumna (spine) feed chakras.
  • Kundalini: Root spark; rises to clear paths, sparks joy—ease in slow.
  • Points: Colors/elements/mantras; root red grounds fast.

Meditate on them—feel flow, gain calm.
