Discover Your Chakras

Chakras, Yoga, YogaLight Blog Chakras, Energy, Life, Spiritual, Yoga

The Chakras are often described as spinning wheels of energy located in different areas of your energetic body, starting at the base of the spine and finishing just above the crown of your head.

Because they are energetic, they are sensitive and can become imbalanced, mis-aligned, under-active or over-active. Below is a description of each of the main seven chakras, including the name, it’s location and what it governs.
