🧘 Chakra Balancing Yoga
Chakra Balancing Yoga is a practice designed to align and harmonize the body’s seven main energy centers (chakras). It blends physical postures, breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and sometimes chanting to support emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
The chakra system comes from ancient Indian traditions and is referenced in yogic and Ayurvedic philosophy.
