Did you know… The 7 Chakras are the centers in our body in which energy flows through. Blocked energy in our Chakras can often have a negative effect on us mentally, physically and spiritually. By opening up your lower spine with stretching moves can help your Root Chakra which is what influences how grounded and secure we feel. If you are in touch with your Sacral Chakra in the lower abdomen you will feel more creative, happy, and more easily accept change.
