Svadhishthana Chakra: In Practice

The second chakra, svadhishthana, connects us to fluidity and movement of energy. In order to maximize the benefits here, strength and containment is also important.  Find a balance between the two with this energizing practice.  Start with a hip balance pose that will strengthen the lower abdominal wall, then move into baddha konasana (bound angle pose) to mobilize the pelvis.  Finish with a dynamic shalabhasana (locust pose) to activate the energy of the pelvic center then rest in child's pose, to sense the freedom of the breath in the pelvis.
