Chakras and Kundalini: How Yoga Helps You Balance Your Energy
We’re all stuck in the hustle and bustle of modern life. Because of this, it feels all too easy to feel fragmented, uninspired, or simply out of sync. We carry tension in our bodies, anxiety in our minds, and restlessness in our spirits, and it feels like an endless cycle of these emotions.
Mindfulness has already been deemed the perfect cure for negative energy. But did you know that Kundalini Yoga can take things a step ahead? Yes, it’s one of the most beautiful paths to re-establish harmony, as it works with the chakra system to activate and balance your inner energy.
So, are you curious to know what makes this practice so effective in balancing your energy? This blog will deeply explore the role of Kundalini and chakras.
What are Chakras and Why They Matter
In yogic philosophy, chakras are wheels of energy that correspond to specific points along the spine, from the base of the tailbone to the crown of the head. Each chakra is associated with certain physical, emotional, and spiritual qualities. For example:
Root Chakra (Muladhara): Grounding, survival, basic trust
Heart Chakra (Anahata): Love, compassion, connection
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Communication, truth
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Higher consciousness, spiritual connection
If any chakra becomes blocked, underactive, or overactive, symptoms can manifest in many ways: anxiety, fear, disconnection, inability to express, physical illness, mental fog, etc.
Kundalini Yoga works directly and powerfully with the chakras. Through breathwork (pranayama), movement, postures (asanas), mudras, mantra, and meditation, Kundalini helps to stir dormant energy at the base of the spine, gently guiding it upward through the chakras. As that energy rises, it purifies and balances, which brings deeper alignment of body, mind, and spirit.
What is Kundalini?
“Kundalini” translates roughly as the “coiled one,” which is the potential energy that sleeps at the base of the spine. When awakened in a safe and supportive way, it moves upward through the chakras, awakening latent capacities for awareness, creativity, healing, and spiritual insight.
Kundalini Yoga isn’t simply physical postures; it’s a holistic technology. It includes breath, sound (mantra), meditation, and ethical orientation (like awareness, presence, and self-discipline). At Kundalini Yoga Skolen in Oslo, the teachers, Anand Raj and Salila Gyanjot, focus on the therapeutic and holistic dimensions, not just what feels good, but what restores your inner architecture.
How Kundalini Yoga Balances Your Chakras and Energy
So, what does “balance” look like in daily life when you work with Kundalini Yoga? Here are some common signs:
More stable mood, less reactive, greater emotional resilience
Clearer mind, better concentration, less “mind chatter”
A sense of purpose and direction; more aligned actions
Feeling more heart-centered, more compassionate to self and others
Healthier body: improved posture, digestion, breathing, energy levels
Deeper sleep, more ease with transitions (stress, change)
These shifts come gradually, often with ups and downs. For example, when a chakra begins to open, you might feel discomfort in that area of the body or emotional release. That’s part of the process, as Kundalini moves and releases stuck energy.
How Kundalini Yoga Education Helps You
One of the most transformative ways to engage with Kundalini is via structured education. Kundalini Yoga Skolen offers teacher training, a deep dive into modules and teaching content, techniques, philosophy, and practice.
If you’re serious about your own energy balance, personal growth, or wish to share this work with others, teacher education provides:
Foundational knowledge of the chakra system, anatomy-energetics, and yogic science
Direct experience of the meditative states and energy practices that clear and open chakras
Guidance from experienced teachers in safety, ethics, and technique
A community of peers to support, challenge, and inspire
Through Kundalini Yoga education, you don’t just learn how to do it. You also learn how to become someone who carries the clarity, integrity, and energetic alignment that Kundalini Yoga cultivates.
Classes in Oslo: Real-Time Energy Work
For many people, weekly classes are the foundation. Kundalini Yoga Skolen arranges weekly classes and private lessons in Oslo.
These settings are where you:
Practice kriyas (sets of postures, movements, breathwork) aimed at specific chakras
Engage in guided meditations to still the mind or activate particular centers
Use mantra, chanting, and sound to affect energetic vibration
Join group energy work, the field of group practice often amplifies effects
Meditation and Kundalini Yoga Classes in Oslo thus become laboratories for inner alignment, places to work with blockages, and gradually steady the flow of Kundalini through the chakras.
Why Choose Kundalini Yoga Skolen?
Here’s why this school is trusted by many:

Simple Practices to Begin Balancing Your Chakras
You don’t need to enroll immediately to begin work with your chakras. Here are a few accessible tools you can use:
1. Morning Sadhana: Wake up a bit earlier and do a short kriya or breathwork that activates root and solar plexus chakras (e.g., breath of fire, spinal flexes).
2. Meditation for the Heart: Use mantra or silent meditation with focus on the heart center (Anahata), cultivating gratitude and compassion.
3. Journaling with Karam Kriya Awareness: Reflect each evening, which chakras felt activated today? Where was there resistance, discomfort? What dreams or fears came up?
4. Sound and Mantra: Chant the seed sounds (“Sat Nam”, “Har”, etc.) or listen to mantra tracks aligned with specific chakras.
5. Yoga Posture Sets: Use asanas that open the throat, hips, spine twists, etc.
Final Thoughts
Balancing your energy through chakras is more about alignment than it is about perfection. Kundalini Yoga makes you more capable of meeting life with openness, clarity, and compassion. When paired together, both Kundalini Yoga and chakras provide you with a roadmap and engine.
