Practice

To open and balance the crown chakra, practise inverted, seated and restorative yoga poses.

​

• Salamba Sirsasana (Supported Headstand) - This nourishes the head with oxygen and blood to help open, balance and soothe the crown chakra.

• Halasana (Plow) - As this inverted position stretches the spine and shoulders, it helps soothe and balance the seventh chakra.

• Salamba Sarvangasana (Supported Shoulderstand) - Good for toning the lower part of the body, this inversion helps alleviate depression while balancing and calming the crown chakra.

• Padmasana (Lotus) - The seated pose stimulates the spine and core while balancing and calming the seventh chakra.

• Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) - By stretching the spine and shoulders, this seated posture helps open, balance and heal the Sahasrara chakra while also stimulating the liver, reproductive organs, and kidneys.

• Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle) - This restorative pose stretches the hips and stimulates the kidneys and reproductive organs as it opens and balances the crown chakra.
