The feeling of being grounded stems from our root chakra, the mooladhara. When this base energy center of your body is activated and flowing freely without blockages, you will feel more connected, secure, and integrated with the world around you. To feel more grounded through the practice of your asanas, you can focus your practice on various postures that activate your root chakra
Below are 5 asanas to Activate Your Root Chakra
#1 Tiryaka Tadasana
(Swaying Palm Tree Pose)
The first asana recommended to help with creating balance is Tiryaka Tadasana.
- Stand with your feet more than shoulder-width apart, and fix your gaze on a point in front of you.
- Interlock your fingers and turn your palms outwards, and then raise your arms over your head to stretch upwards.
- Be sure to inhale when raising your arms. Exhale, and bend to the right side from the waist, without twisting your trunk.
- Hold the posture here for 5 counts, inhales, and then slowly come back to center in the upright position.
- Repeat this on the left side to complete one full round. Once you have completed the first round, you can repeat it 10 times.
- To end, return to the upright position, release your hands and bring your arms down to the sides.
#2 Padmasana
