During this practice, we will explore and bring into balance the energy of Swadhisthana Chakra by opening our hips, pelvis and releasing tension in this area. Located in the lower abdomen (a couple of fingers beneath the belly button). The sacral chakra is related to the water element inside of you, all that is fluid. This energy relates to our creativity, sensuality, pleasure, and spontaneity within ourselves. This chakra is connected to our emotions, and when it's balanced, we are able to feel free in expressing ourselves creatively and sexually, allowing ourselves to play and experience pleasure in a healthy way. Exploring our sacral chakra helps us take care of our bodies and our own needs.
This Saturday we will explore this and more as we also explore heart and small intestine. Come relax, get mindful, and go deep into your body’s meridians and organs thru long held yin postures using breath, awareness and intention to explore inner qualities….
