Yoga is an entirely different way of lifestyle, a prosperous truth-seeking path for bringing spiritual awareness into a social context. It is about finding the reality for yourself and connecting with it. It promotes the unison of body and minds helping us to discover the valuable treasure of knowledge buried within us.
\nIt helps us achieve and maintain health, promoting a long and peaceful life which is only a small part of this vast system. The path of yoga leads us to the state of being in harmony with ourselves and the universe.<\/p>\n
Yoga helps to activate the 7 chakras which are the energy centres of the body located along the spine starting at the base and moving upwards to the top of the head. Each chakra emits a specific colour and energy. They are related to spiritual, emotional, psychological and physical aspects and malfunctioning of the chakras leads to various disorders, physically and mentally.
\nOn the other hand, conscious awareness and balancing of these chakras can lead to well being and good health. Let us see how activating these energy centres can balance your life with their specific attributes, strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n
\uf0b7Muladhara\/Root chakra- It is located at the base of the spine radiating red colour and representing the earth element. It governs the four primal urges: food, sleep, sex and self-preservation. Balancing this chakra helps to maintain inner stability making you strong and stable. <\/p>\n
\uf0b7Svadhishthana\/Sacral chakra- Located at the pelvis radiating orange colour and representing water element governing fluidity, adaptability, creativity, emotions and sexual energy.

\uf0b7Manipura\/Navel chakra- Located at the navel radiating yellow colour and representing fire element. Its function is to optimize your personal power to navigate your lives with determination. Balancing navel chakra gives you the confidence to eliminate what does not serve you and let it go. You become confident, powerful and can handle anything.<\/p>\n
