We kick off a practical, down-to-earth chakra series, what the seven main chakras are, how they actually show up in daily life, and how to start noticing your own patterns. Tenya shares a raw family story that surfaced a root-chakra imbalance, and Eva connects the dots with yoga therapy, nervous-system science, and why body-based practices matter as much as mindset. You’ll leave with simple awareness practices you can start today.

What We Cover

*The chakra system as an “energy blueprint” for physical, mental, and spiritual health
*Why energy + body + mindset all need to work together (not either/or)
*Eva’s quick tour of the seven chakras & where they map in the body
*Developmental windows & how life experiences imprint on each chakra
*The “shadow” side (e.g., fear in the root) and how it looks in real life
*Simple entry points: breath awareness, body scans, and gentle movement

Try This This Week
3-minute breath check: Where do you feel breath move? Where does it “stick”?
5-minute body scan: Toes ➝ crown, slowly noticing sensation, tension, openness.
Gentle hip circles (2 directions): explore where movement feels fluid vs. guarded.

Journal prompts: 
Where do I feel safe in my body?
