A Journey Through the Chakras
Week Two: Svadisthana Chakra

The second chakra is the focal point of our emotions, sexuality and creativity. This chakra governs our emotional flow, feelings, fluidity and openess. Asana focus is on the hips and lower back.

From the base of your spine to the top of you head, there are seven major chakras. The word chakra come from the sanskrit work for wheel or disk. Within the body lie seven vital energy centers or chakras. These chakras correspond to major nerve ganglia glands of the endocrine system and various bodily processes such as breathing, digestion and reproduction. The practice of yoga helps keep these centers of energy clear and flowing for optimal health. Come and join us on this journey down the central channel of the body. Over the next seven weeks will be be exploring the different chakras and how they effect our bodies. See you all soon!

Kathleen Kelly and Karen Simcik with be exploring the Sacral chakra in their classes throughout this week. (May 21-27)
