Chakra yoga is a style of yoga that incorporates many features of other yogic traditions to activate the chakras or energy centers along the spine. Because stimulating the lower chakras and opening the higher chakras wakes Kundalini and enables it to travel more readily through the energy body, it is considered a kind of Kundalini yoga.
Asanas, meditation, pranayama breathing techniques, and mantra chanting are used in this kind of yoga to awaken the chakras. The concept of chakras is from the ancient traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism and has penetrated yoga.
According to the notion, the physical human body comprises more than just bones, muscles, organs, and skin. It consists of many layers of energy fields that surround the physical body. The so-called subtle body, also known as the energy body, comprises several layers. In this context, ‘subtle' refers to 'that which is most delicate' or 'that is most refined.'
