Asanas

Each chakra has corresponding asanas, pranyamas, mudras and meditation practices that are particularly effective in stimulating the energy of that chakra. Even though each program consists of different practices, they all partake of the same form. The programs for each are composed of seven steps to be followed in followed in order for balance and good health. 

Step 1: Preparation
Start with 5 minute period of relaxation of body and mind. Step back from your daily life and free your mind of extraneous thoughts. Now you are ready for a brief warm-up.

Step 2, 3 & 4: Asanas
After the preparation calm three asanas of your choice that influence the flow of prana and stimulate the targeted chakra are practiced.

Step 5: Pranayama
Next is pranayama to bring life energy that has been generated through the practice of the asanas to the chakra you are working on.

Step 6: Meditation
In chakra-yoga meditation, we use a combination of special mudras and mantras that correspond to each chakra.

Step 7: Relaxation
The last aspect consists of deep relaxation of body, thoughts and feelings. Visualize the energy flow in to the chakra you are working on, and see how it harmonizes and heals all of the areas that are governed by this chakra.
