Swadisthana, otherwise known as the "Sacral Chakra" is located in in our lower abdomen, right below the belly button and hips. As you can imagine this is a very sensitive or vulnerable area for most people. Makes me understand why this chakra represents our emotions, feelings, creativity, sexuality, and relationships....all very personal things. During my classes a few weeks ago when this chakra was our focus point, I asked students to not only think of their connections with others, but to also delve into the relationship they have with themselves. Whether we like to think of our body image as a relationship, it truly is the longest long-term relationship you will EVER have! I've gotten to the point where in every class I cue students to not always focus on what a posture looks like in your particular body, but more on what it feels like. If you practice yoga or other types of physical activity this way, your body will thank you! Less injuries, less ego
