Chakras are energy centers within the body that influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In yoga, practices focus on balancing and activating these seven primary chakras through asanas, meditation, and breathwork. Each chakra is associated with different aspects of life, such as grounding, creativity, power, love, communication, intuition, and spiritual connection. Proper alignment and energy flow through the chakras help achieve a harmonious and healthy body and mind, fostering a deeper connection to oneself and the universe.
