More Yoga; Thursday, Second Period [07/20].
"This week," Rosa, as usual, was not wasting any time in getting the 'lesson' part of this 'class' over with as soon as possible, "we're looking at the third chakra, the manipura chakra, which is sometimes also called the solar plexus or the navel chakra, and literally just means 'place of shining gem'. This is the chakra where confidence and power is said to come from, so...you know that feeling like you could just take on the whole world? That's due to this chakra being balanced, and when you feel doubt, insecurity, and a lack of direction, that's said to be an indication that you need to work on this one a little. Honestly, I can't relate. My solar plexus chakra is always balanced, if that's the case."
It certainly seemed to be in good shape today, anyway.
"This chakra is believed to be located right above the navel," with a hand on her stomach to demonstrate, "and is associated with the element of fire, the color yellow, and good digestion, actually. So maybe it wasn't that burrito you had from that sketchy food truck the other day, but instead an unbalance manipura chakra.
"The poses associated with opening up this chakra as usually related with harnessing the energy of the sun, so we're already on the right path by starting with our sun salutations. We're also going to focus on a classic seated forward bend, bow pose, half spinal twist, upward plank pose, and cobra pose. A lot of ground work on this one, so let's warm up, and then have a seat and we'll get started going over those."
