Chakra 2 · Svadhisthana
Sacral Chakra Yoga Poses
The sacral chakra, Svadhisthana, sits just below the navel and is associated with fluidity, pleasure, and creativity. Its poses ask for a different quality than the root’s stillness: movement that flows, hips that release, effort that feels more like invitation than force.
This collection leans on hip openers, lateral lines, and balancing shapes that reward softness over strain. If your practice has felt rigid or dutiful lately, this is the family of poses that reintroduces play.
Each sacral pose you record in DrawHatha adds to your sacral canvas — a visible record of how often you let your practice flow.
