Which Chakra is Activated by Practicing Kraunchasana?

Located in the lower abdomen, the Svadhisthana Chakra is associated with creativity, sensuality, and emotional well-being.

Kraunchasana, with its focus on the lower back, hips, and pelvis, stimulates and balances the energy in this chakra. The dynamic engagement of the pelvic region in the pose is believed to enhance the flow of vital energy within the Svadhisthana Chakra, promoting a sense of emotional fluidity, creativity, and a harmonious connection with one's sensuous aspects of life.
