Yoga for Energy Balance: Poses to Align Your Chakras

Your body is more than just muscles and bones—it’s an energy system, with chakras acting as the main power centers. When these energy centers are out of balance, you might feel fatigued, anxious, or blocked in certain areas of life.

The good news? Yoga can help! By practicing specific poses, you can activate and balance each chakra, allowing energy to flow freely so you feel more aligned, vibrant, and empowered. ✨🧘‍♀️
