Chakras and Yoga: Aligning Your Energy Centres

Dr S Pujah · 25 June 2026

Yoga practice for chakra balance — Dr S Pujah's guide to chakras and inner harmony.

Yoga and the chakra system are natural partners. The seven energy centres map onto the body, and specific postures, breath and focus help each one settle — bringing a real sense of inner harmony.

How yoga supports the chakras

  • Grounding poses — steady the root and lower centres.
  • Heart-opening poses — support the heart centre and ease.
  • Breath & focus — bring awareness to a specific centre and its theme.
  • Meditation — settles the higher centres and quietens the mind.

Making it a practice

Rather than a vague "balance your chakras", yoga gives you a concrete, physical way in — one centre, one focus at a time. That structure is what makes it feel real.

A note

Contemplative wellbeing practice, not medical treatment; everyone experiences it differently.
