Throat Chakra Real Talk: Speaking Up and Sharing Your Gifts
If the Heart Chakra is about feeling, the Throat Chakra is about expressing.
It’s the energetic space where your inner wisdom meets outer voice—where clarity becomes communication and ideas become impact. And if you’re a yoga teacher, space holder, or soul-led entrepreneur trying to build a business that feels authentic, this chakra is the one to work with.
Ever felt like your message isn’t landing—or like you’re holding back because you don’t want to come off as “too much”?
You might not be bad at business. You might just be blocked in your Throat Chakra.
So What’s the Throat Chakra Really About?
In Sanskrit, the Throat Chakra is called Vishuddha, meaning “purification.” Located at the base of the throat, it governs communication, truth, and self-expression. It’s not just about speaking—it’s about saying what matters, with clarity and conviction.
This chakra asks:
Am I speaking up—or shrinking back?
Do I say what I mean—or stay silent to keep the peace?
Can I express myself clearly, in my business and my life?
Is my voice aligned with my values and vision?
When Vishuddha is in balance, you feel articulate, honest, and expressive. You can teach with presence, write from your heart, and promote your work without sounding like someone else.
When out of balance, you might struggle with doubt, fear of visibility, or trouble articulating what you do—even if you’re deeply passionate about it.
Why It Matters in Yoga, Business, and Making a Living
Let’s be honest. If you’re a yoga teacher or holistic practitioner in today’s world, it’s not enough to be knowledgeable. You have to share your voice, your message, and your offers in a way that resonates with others—and that’s no small thing.
For so many wellness pros, the idea of “selling” feels heavy. But when your Throat Chakra is activated and clear, business becomes a form of expression—not manipulation.
A healthy Throat Chakra helps you:
Speak with confidence about what you offer
Write emails and content that connect and convert
Set boundaries in your business and personal life
Say yes to aligned opportunities and no to burnout
Teach classes, workshops, and trainings with clarity
Ask for your worth—and receive it without guilt
In Yoga and Ayurveda: Supporting Vishuddha
Physically, this chakra corresponds to the neck, jaw, and vocal cords. Energetically, it’s tied to Udana Vayu—the upward-moving energy that governs speech, confidence, and spiritual expression.
In yoga, we support the throat with gentle backbends and heart openers like Fish (Matsyasana), Shoulderstand (Sarvangasana), and Plow (Halasana). Lion’s Breath and chanting are direct ways to activate this space. Even humming can be a powerful practice.
In Ayurveda, cooling herbs like licorice and fennel support the throat both physically and energetically. Warm water sips, steam inhalation, and gargles with salt or turmeric can help clear the literal and energetic throat.

Journal Prompts for Activating Your Throat Chakra and Owning Your Voice
What would I say if I wasn’t afraid of being judged?
Where in my life or business am I playing small to be accepted?
What do I most want to express or share with others?
Where do I silence myself to avoid conflict?
How do I feel when I talk about my work or offerings?
What truths am I ready to speak—out loud and unapologetically?
You Deserve to Be Heard, Valued, and Paid
The Throat Chakra reminds us that business is a form of self-expression.
You don’t need to shout. You don’t need to mimic what everyone else is doing. You need to say what’s real—clearly, confidently, and consistently.
Because when your voice is aligned, your business becomes magnetic.
The clearer your message, the easier it is for your students, clients, and community to find you. The more grounded you are in your truth, the easier it becomes to price, promote, and sell your work in a way that feels good—and gets results.
This is how you build a sustainable yoga business. Not by being louder. But by being more you.
As Audre Lorde wrote, “Your silence will not protect you.”
Let’s rewrite the story that says yoga teachers have to be broke, soft-spoken, or afraid to take up space. Your work is sacred. Your voice is powerful. Your message matters.
