You don’t need to “master” all the chakras at once. Simply noticing where you feel stuck, physically, emotionally, energetically is a good place to start. Let It Go Yoga can be the perfect practice to help you to which chakra might need attention.
Try this:
Choose one chakra to focus on during your practice.
Become aware which poses in the series support it.
Use affirmations (e.g., “I am grounded,” “I speak my truth.”)
Meditate on its color or mantra.
