Yoga is the path of balance: a way of establishing mental and physical balance within the body. The following practices are classic yoga asanas with breathing guides to help clear the chakras and restore equilibrium in the subtle body whilst positively impacting the central nervous and endocrine systems in the physical body.
Take a few moments to sit quietly, either on a chair or cross-legged on the floor, breathing through the nose. Focus your attention on the location of each chakra in the body and mentally repeat the breath mantra four times before you begin.
