Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)

Element: Water

Physical area: lower abdomen, pelvis, hips, and reproductive organs, linked to the ovaries/testes

Gland: Gonads (ovaries / testes)

Core theme: feeling, desire, intimacy, and permission to enjoy life. This chakra governs emotion, pleasure, sensuality, sexuality and creativity. It is also door to subconscious mind and addresses deepest fears (connected to the psoas muscle), guilt, trauma. Blockages may show up as numbness, guilt, shame, or difficulty receiving pleasure or connection.

This yoga session focuses on hip flexors, hip openers and fluid movement, which often releases stored emotional residue.
