Muladhara sits at the base of the spine and is associated with the earth element. In modern yoga, it is linked with feeling grounded, safe and supported by the basics of life: home, body, routine and community.
Grounding practice works with the legs, feet and contact with the floor. Slow standing poses, balances and long exhales bring attention down and into the body.
Where in my life do I feel most at home?
Svadhisthana is placed in the lower abdomen and associated with water. It is linked with creativity, emotion, sensuality and the ability to enjoy life and adapt like flowing water.
Hip-opening and fluid movement suit this chakra. Circling, swaying and gentle floor work invite movement into the pelvis and lower back.
What brings me simple pleasure?
Manipura sits at the navel and is associated with fire. It is linked with personal power, confidence, motivation and the inner fire that turns intention into action.
Core strength, twists and warming sequences build heat in the centre of the body. Practise with effort, then balance it with rest.
Where would I like to feel more confident?
Anahata, meaning “unstruck”, refers to a sound made without any two things striking. Placed at the centre of the chest and associated with air, it is linked with love, compassion and connection, and it bridges the lower and upper chakras.
Gentle backbends and chest-opening poses suit the heart chakra, along with practices of kindness towards yourself and others.
Who could I offer kindness to today, including myself?
Vishuddha sits at the throat and is associated with space, the element that allows sound to travel. It is linked with honest communication, self-expression and the ability to listen.
Neck and shoulder release, chanting and humming practices bring attention to the throat. Speak or sing aloud as part of your practice.
What have I been wanting to say?
Ajna is placed between the eyebrows and is associated with the mind rather than a physical element. It is linked with insight, intuition, imagination and the ability to see clearly.
Focused gazing, forward folds with the forehead supported and quiet concentration practices suit Ajna.
What does my intuition already know?
Sahasrara, the thousand-petalled lotus, is placed at or just above the crown of the head. In many teachings it is not counted as one of the six chakras but as their culmination, linked with presence, meaning and connection to something larger than yourself.
Meditation, stillness and rest are the main practices here. Finish each practice with a long Savasana.
What gives my life a sense of meaning?
