Root Chakra Yoga Poses
The root chakra, Muladhara, sits at the base of the spine and is the tradition’s language for feeling grounded: safe, steady, and physically present. When life feels scattered or anxious, root-focused practice is the classical antidote — not because anything mystical happens, but because standing and foundational poses literally train stability.
The poses in this collection share a physical signature: weight pressing down through the feet or seat, joints stacked, effort directed into holding steady rather than reaching far. Expect standing postures and strong foundations — the work that makes every other family of poses possible.
In DrawHatha, each of these poses you log paints part of your root canvas — over weeks you can see how much of your practice lives in this grounded territory.
