This Yoga inspired MerryBody class inspires you to ignite your creativity by awakening Svadisthana Chakra, your Sacral Chakra. The Sacral Chakra is linked directly to pleasure, sensuality, creativity, movement, flow and emotion. Svadisthansa translates to ‘one’s own place’. It is located above the pubic bone and below the navel. Get ready to open the hips, the heart and create free flowing movement! MUDRA: we start our practice with the Shakti mudra (energy seal), place your thumbs inside your palms, wrap all of your fingers around your thumbs and then bring the knuckles to connect. Then release your ring fingers and pinky fingers and connect finger pad to finger pad). Bring Shakti Mudra down to your Sacral Chakra. What’s a mudra you ask? It’s a way we place the hands, or the body, that seals and redirects the prana (lifeforce/energy) within the body. MANTRA: we chant Vam to awaken our practice, say it like VUUUUUU-MMMM. This vibration is directly linked to the Sacral Chakra, the VAM vibration encourages your Sacral energy to awaken, cleanse and align. What’s a mantra you ask? It’s something we chant that creates vibrations within the body. The word mantra in Sanskrit (yoga language) translates to ‘sacred message or text’. They are usually repetitive sounds that can reach deep into the unconscious mind and change/clear aspects of your being and energy.
