Grounding Yoga Sequence for The Root Chakra - Muladhara Chakra Yoga Flow | Chakra Challenge

Today, we are focusing on the first chakra (muladhara) which directly translates to root for an amazing grounding yoga sequence. It is directly located at the base of the spine, and you can visualize it in your practice as a ball of red glowing energy or like a molten lava that you'll find at the center of the earth. The root chakra represents the element of survival, we can't blossom into our best selves and journey up for through the rest of the chakras until our basic needs like food, shelter, water, safety are already met. This chakra represent your security, your stability, and it's represented by the earth element.

I've finally concluded after dabbling through many Yoga videos, traditions - Brett is my girl when it comes to Yoga! Thank you for these creations!

[@alysonmaxwell1991]

This was wonderful. I've done some sequences for certain chakras, but this felt deeper and more focused. I also really appreciate that it wasn't too easy. I need a little challenge in my daily morning practice as it's the only exercise i get each day. I paused the video after savasana so i could meditate and didn't realize you had a root chakra meditation to follow! Next time I'll definetly do both! Can't wait for Monday and the second chakra!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Thank you so much for practicing with me!!

[@tiffanilongworth7784]

Thank you so much for doing this! I love the way you teach! So glad I found you and look forward to doing and learning more from you❤

Is the third time I do the chakra series, and always so comforting and grounding. Every time I discover something new. Thanks Brett.

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Yay!! Thank you for practicing with me!!

[@murandavogt7455]

The first time I gave this a shot I felt like I couldn't quite grasp the concept. Day two I really felt a weighted energy in my pelvis and a weird new supple suction in the soles of my feet! It was a weird and wonderful thing to discover. Awesome practice. Thank you Brett!

[@amandakayoaks7327]

I think this is the most genuinely grounding yoga sequence I've ever done. Thank you!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Awesome! Thanks, Amanda! Hope to see u in future chakra videos! Xxx

Excellent video

[@kaylaheineman6297]

I had no idea visualizing myself in the mud would make me so happy. I had a moment where I understood what true "grounding" means. Thanks Brett!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Hahah awesome! Glad we could get muddy together :) See you in the rest of the challenge

[@allisonhanks8909]

Lovely! Great visualizations! Thank you! ❤️✌🏻💜

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

You are so welcome!

[@muglymae7408]

the talk in the beginning reminded me of maslow's hierarchy of needs

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

True! Interesting!

[@alysonmaxwell1991]

Mugly Mae the ancient chakra system aligns with Western Psychology's stages of development. Or maybe it's the other way around;)

[@rolamcclary]

Great class, super clear and love the mud visualisation! Eyes happy closed :)

[@fernandavb5270]

I did it already😉

[@iamannyrosario]

Taking a moment to express infinite gratitude to you. After learning about the root chakra and how completely out of wack mine was, I went searching here and your video was the one I gravitated and committed to. Not only has it completely stabilized me, a chronic lower back pain that had been plaguing me all year went away. Daily practice of this sequence, and last week I woke up one morning and I was 80% better. Today, I am completely pain free. I cannot think you enough, I'm so happy I integrated your practice with my other healing modalities. Have a beautiful day!

[@jovankabatinic1437]

Hello🙂I would like to know when is the best period of the day for this practice?😊🧏‍♀️

[@BogdanPopitiu]

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

[@musicalkavya]

Though I LOVED this yoga for chakra video, I am still REALLY wishing for that yoga for acne video to be posted by you. Also waiting to tell my mom. Thanks.

[@musicalkavya]

You should take a little time to see some short Disney collector videos. You won't have time to watch long ones like me, but DEFENETLY check out short.

[@musicalkavya]

Her videos are really, really, really, really, great. More than your yoga videos! I alternate between your yoga videos and Disney collector. Thank you. And thanks.

[@musicalkavya]

I love her playdoh spongebob squarepants videos. You should check out then first, if you don't have to much time to see others. Little, completely ok. Thanks.

[@lrkie3608]

I love the 'paw your feet into the earth' comment. Thank you for this practice. What a good way to start my day.

[@allthingsnovella4949]

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

It is an honor to practice with you, thank you for being here! 💖💖💖

[@dmetalx88]

hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out the 7 main chakras try Nevolly Chakra Expert Nerd (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.

[@jayantsirohia1248]

Gratitude mam for this wonderful video help us to opening our root chakra Thank you so much 😊

[@EleanorDuckworth]

This was a wonderful grounding earthy movement flow with lots of wisdom for life too. I felt it way into the evening and In my late afternoon transcendental mediation. Very powerful, I love the mud play too. I take it with me today along with the orange water flow. They go together so well! Namaste Brett 🙏❤️

[@ainsleydaschofsky5827]

I live in Austin, TX and we are facing a water crisis due to too much dirty water, and I've lost access to my usual filtered water source. Refusing to use plastic bottles and generally feeling dehydrated until it ends because we do not have access to a spring has made my root chakra rather frightened and in pain. This practice made me bury in for a little screaming that became meditation and then a song through this practice. This came when I needed it. Thank you.

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Honored to be able to help you in such a trying time. Sending you love and hugs

[@melaneydunne93]

In addition to being depicted as spinning discs why are the chakra's depicted as various types of lotus flowers?

[@sudharathi7628]

Fabulous experience 🤗😘 tons of thanku Ma’am 🙏🏻

[@lakshmi1597]

Hi Brett, Is there any yoga that changes thought patterns formed due to fear or sadness ?

[@renesantone414]

Guys this is amazing instruction. I am sure you will gain some new knowledge that will help you in your yoga practice in the future.

[@gingercameronfordcrouch7057]

For first timers should chakra cleansing be done and are these all safe for older folks with hip and spine unalignment who need chiropractor alignment done?

[@lucaswynn4069]

Thankyou!!!! Yes great visualizations to help us get to the right position...almost wanted a thicker mat to get the mud feeling. Also, really helpful to see the use of the blocks to bring the ground closer as my flexibility/stability is there yet.

[@jo-anblanchet-girard5488]

It was hard for me to keep the posture for so long but still feel great. Thank you and namaste.

[@HopesPiracy]

so powerful !! A little bit too fast sometimes but I really love practising my daily yoga with you Brett ! Merci, from France !

[@jctyoga]

Done! I feel grounded because I can't get up from my mat. :D

[@himawari4962]

[@fariza05]

excellent yoga flexibility for split thank you

[@vm8564]

Amazing work, thank you!

[@zeyneptorun1688]

I think i did it wrong 😅 or right I'm not for sure. But it was really difficult for me to feel what you were discribing. I know that some days I'm really grounded and flexible. I can feel anything happening to my body but today i was stiff and blocked everywhere. I thought about leaving the practice several time but i did pursue. But thank you anyways and have a nice day ! Namate 🙏🏽

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Thank you for practicing with me! It is amazing how the body is so different from day to day, isn't it?!

[@newjulie24]

I loved it. Thank you! Nice heat created, the feeling of "work" done and - hopefully - more grounding in my life to come. Always a pleasure to practice with you!

[@hollyoliver1103]

So... I was searching for an online yoga teacher training course and your course came up in the search. I really liked the sound of your course as it sounds quite in-depth and empowering. I'm still not 100% sure that online is the route I want to take with my YTT experience but in finding you, I found this Chakra Challenge! It came at a perfect time, of course :) because I recently had reiki and was told that my root chakra is quite faint and given my current circumstances, it has every reason to be. I am American and living in the UK, going through the immigration process so I'm not able to work. My oartner is British and supporting both of us. I'm also not allowed to leave the country without withdrawing my visa application; something that I learned AFTER I enrolled in and booked travel and visa for a 200 hr YTT course in India :( I would be 2 days out of completing that course right now... I'm still hopeful that it happened for a reason and that the opportunity that is right for me, is just around the corner... anyway, that's what led me to looking at online courses because I can do them from anywhere so I know that once I start a course, I can complete it, even if the UK rejects my application and I have to return to the states.. Trying to stay open and to go with the flow and to trust that my intention and genuine desire to use myself as a tool or an instrument to bring yoga to people to help them heal in inumerous ways will open doors and create opportunity. Still considering your online course ;) Thank you for this Root Chakra class-I loved it. I gelt a beautifully subtle change from all of the small pelvic adjustments. Really helped to center in and focus my energy where it is needed. The balancing part of the sequence was a bit empowering as well. Thank you x Namaste

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

I would love to have you in training!! Hopefully things work out the way you want them to. Thank you for practicing with me!!

[@martasobota8523]

[@novlynbarretto2166]

Hi ,I extremely love your work .I feel a immediate effect and relief.I have a question.Is it alright to practice 2 or more chakars in one day. eg. Starting off with root then sacral then solar in one single day. any bad effects?

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

As long as you feel comfortable, that is fine! Thank you for practicing with me!

[@middleverse3838]

Thanks for this, helped with all the running I did this summer, hip/groin area really started breathing again!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Glad it helped!

[@dinachetvertak5442]

I felt happy in the end.. and really could release tension in my roots. Thank you 🙏🏻

I could only do half wow this is challenging. I'll try to do it again tomorrow

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Yay for honoring your body! Hope you're feeling better soon!

[@vidyaps]

should we do these chakra yogas in the order of the chakras or can we do it out of sequence?

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

You can do it either way. In order if you want to work from the root up, or if you are working on a specific area you can just do that class. Do what feels right for you, trust your instinct.

[@marisolarrighetti2313]

I just finished the 8 day detox challenge yesterday and while looking for a class to do today, I found this challenge wich within divine timing fits perfectly with the work I'm doing in my artjournaling work. I'm painting my inner muse and yesterday, she asked me to paint roots coming out of her feet , I strongly hesitated , but gave in and did it. Also, yesterday In my movement and voice class I worked on and we talked about my need to ground, to come into my power. during this class I totally felt it, how powerful I am. Gracias, 1 ;
