The chakras are the seven main energy centers in the body. They are located
along the spine, starting at the base and running upwards to the crown of the
head. The chakras are described as "whirling disks of light", and
each chakra radiates a specific color and energy. As each chakra relates to
specific spiritual, emotional, psychological and body issues, conscious awareness
and balancing of these energy centers leads to well-being. Our Yoga Technique
Guide is your online guide to the technique and practice of yoga.
