Understanding the seven chakras
The word “chakra” itself is based on the Sanskrit word for “wheel” or “circle,” and the concept has origins in both the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. The seven chakras are said to represent energy sources throughout your body. Each chakra corresponds to:

A different section of your body
A color
An element
Specific emotions
If you’ve ever taken a yoga class, you might have heard chakras mentioned in relation to certain poses or practices. In yoga terminology, prana (energy) travels through your body between chakras in the nadi (energy channels).

“Each chakra aligns with several yoga poses, or asanas, as well as affirmations or statements of reflection that are thought to help bring balance to that area of the body,” Warren explains.

You may hear chakras referred to by other their Sanskrit names or the English translations. We’ve shared both here.
