Flow, Pleasure, and Power: Exploring the Sacral Chakra

In this episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, Lauren Leduc continues the chakra series with a nourishing and powerful exploration of the Sacral Chakra—the energetic center of creativity, sensuality, pleasure, and emotional flow.

From hip-opening asana to watery sequencing, from dance rituals to journaling about shame and joy, Lauren shares ways to connect with your sacral energy both on and off the mat.

You’ll learn how to recognize imbalances, how to invite more fluidity, and how to honor cycles in your body and life. The episode also highlights the divine feminine energy of Shakti, the wisdom of the womb space, and the role of the moon and seasons in sacral healing.
