In yogic philosophy, the seven chakras are energy centres associated with different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual experience.

Working with them goes beyond asanas. A holistic yoga practice brings together:
✨ Asanas to build strength, stability, and body awareness.
🌬️ Pranayama to regulate the breath and cultivate awareness of your energy.
🧘 Meditation to quiet the mind, deepen self-awareness, and turn your attention inward.
🔔 Mantra chanting to focus the mind through sound and vibration.

Together, these practices offer different ways to explore the chakra system, develop a deeper connection with yourself, and cultivate a sense of balance within.

Save these 7 asanas as a starting point for your chakra-focused practice, and remember that yoga is about more than the poses. It’s about bringing your body, breath, and mind together.

Move with intention. Find balance within.

Struggling with Bird of Paradise (Svarga Dvijasana)? 🧘‍♀️

These 11 chair-assisted drills will help you work on hip mobility, shoulder flexibility, hamstring length, and standing-leg strength to gradually work towards Bird of Paradise.

Save this sequence for your next yoga practice and take it one step at a time.

This Navratri, explore the many forms of Devi through yoga.

Strength. Grace. Fearlessness. Stillness.

Rajkapotasana / King Pigeon Pose
Devi embodies both grace and fearlessness. This pose reflects her ability to remain powerful while embracing vulnerability.

Goddess Pose / Kali Asana
Inspired by Goddess Kali, this powerful stance represents strength, courage, and the destruction of negativity.

Kurmasana / Tortoise Pose
Devi’s power isn’t always fierce. This pose reflects the inward focus, patience, and stillness that nurture inner strength.

Kapotasana / Full Pigeon Pose
A deep backbend that reflects openness, courage, and the graceful strength associated with the Divine Feminine.

Reverse Warrior
Like Devi, this pose embodies strength with grace, reminding us to rise fearlessly and meet challenges with courage.

Nine nights. Infinite forms of Shakti.

Celebrate the power within you.
Which pose makes you feel most powerful?

The center split isn’t built in a day. It’s built one drill at a time.
Samakonasana is one of yoga’s toughest splits, and getting closer takes more than just stretching. You need hip mobility, inner-thigh flexibility, and consistent practice.

Save these 8 drills to work towards your center split, and practice them in sequence.

Fire Hydrant Circles: Improve hip mobility and rotation while preparing your hip joints for the wide range of motion needed for a center split.

Dynamic Side Lunge Stretch: Stretch your inner thighs and adductor muscles while improving lateral flexibility for your center split journey.

Low Lunge Hip Rocks: Stretch your hip flexors and improve hip mobility to support a more comfortable and controlled stretching practice.

Dynamic Half Pigeon Pose: Release tension around your hips and improve hip mobility to support better flexibility in your yoga practice.

Dynamic Goddess Pose: Build inner-thigh flexibility, improve hip mobility, and prepare your lower body for deeper stretches.

Dynamic Frog Pose: Deepen the stretch through your inner thighs and groin to gradually improve the flexibility needed for a center split.

Dynamic Skandasana: Improve lateral flexibility, strengthen movement control, and increase adductor mobility to help you work toward a deeper center split.

Dynamic Wall-Supported Splits: Gradually increase your center split range of motion with supported stretching, allowing your inner thighs and hips to adapt over time.

Center Split (Samakonasana): Work toward your center split with consistent hip-opening exercises, inner-thigh stretches, and controlled flexibility training. Progress takes time, so focus on alignment and gradual improvement rather than forcing the pose.
