Chakras and Yoga: Aligning Your Energy Centres
Dr S Pujah · 25 June 2026

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.
