One can awaken the Kundalini energy through a set of Hatha Yoga exercises which concentrate on different Chakras, i.e., nerve plexuses, which starts right at the base of anus to all the way up the spinal column. Here are yoga asanas that can clear the seven chakras in a person.

First Chakra – Mooladhara (Root Chakra)

Asana – Crow pose / Bakasana:

1. Begin this asana, with a tadasana or mountain pose.

2. Squat down so that you can place your hands on the floor. The hands must be shoulder distance apart.

3. Raise your hips high, engaging your core muscles.

4. Your knees must be now placed against your upper triceps muscles.

5. Set your gaze on the floor, a little ahead of your hands.

6. Shift your weight to your hands and lift your feet off the ground. Straighten your elbows.

7. Remain in this pose for 10 seconds to one minute depending on your ability. Then lower your feet to the ground and go to Uttanasana (standing forward bend pose)

Second Chakra – Svadisthana (Sacral Chakra)

Asana – Frog pose / Mandukasana

1. Kneel down on the floor and keep your knees as wide apart as possible, without straining your hips and knees.

2. You must now flex your feet strong enough to let the inner edges of your feet to touch the ground. The angle in the knees and ankles should be no more than 90 degrees.
