The chakras are energy centres that located along the centre of the spine. There are seven main chakras and each one has a specific role to play in the functioning of the body. They are the bridge between our physical and spiritual worlds - switches to turn on our true potential.

It is the ultimate goal of a yogi to awaken the Kundalini energy which his lies dormant in the base of the spine. By awakening Mululadhara, the root chakra - Kundalini will rise upwards and awaken each chakra.

Yoga postures, breathing exercises and meditations purify our chakras of past karma and it is a wonderful way to focus the mind on the body and the energy within.

Visualisations on the location and colours of the chakras (coloured wheels of spinning energy within you) helps to balance these energy centres.

Each chakra resonate with its special mantra (vibration / sound ) - the bija seed chanting is helpful to invigoration the chakras.
