Seven Kundalini Yoga Chakras
Kundalini power is divided into seven chakras. This is a Sanskrit word which means wheel. Kundalini Shakti (Power) flows in coil like path in our body around spinal cord. Chakras are considered as ‘energy centers’ of divine power. The energy of these chakras remains in a sleeping state until it is awaken.
These chakras are not physically situated in the body and not even are any part of our physical body organs. According to Indian yoga, these are energy/power centers of our subtle body and are considered to be located at various centers of spine.
The Muladhara Chakra (Root) is the first chakra, which is situated at the last bone of spine. By moving upwards, there are Swadhisthana (Sacral), Manipur (Power ), Anahata (Heart), Vishuddha (Communication), Agya (Intuition), Sahasrara (Crown).
Kundalini chakras are scientific in practice to keep us remain absolutely balanced. Every chakra has its own system and is assumed to be related to specific glands in the endocrine system of our body. Kundalini yoga enables us to do our work with these glands in a way that it controls energy sources.
Muladhar or Root Chakra is the source of awakening all chakras. When it is controlled, the other chakras are also affected simultaneously.

Swadhisthana or Sacral Chakra can strength us with the power of love. This love is not only for men and women but for animal also.
