chakra cleansing is a sanskrit word for “wheel” also known as energy centres. chakras are the subtle energy wheels or hubs of our body. there are 7 main chakras represented by colour. they consist of energy and have no physical location; however, these energy centres are present along the length of the body. they roughly correspond to and influence the activity of the glands and organs of the body. the chakras deeply impact our physical and mental and spiritual health. so how you feel, what you think and ultimately the choices and decisions you make on a daily basis will impact your chakras and make you who you are right now. stress causes malfunction and sluggishness and sometimes severe damage to the chakras. this in turn blocks our energy and its ability to flow effortlessly. cleansing of the chakras (mentally & physically) energises and restores them. specific yoga postures are used in this chakra cleansing class.
