"Try to contain your shock," said Rosa, once everyone was there at the beach or everyone who bothered to either be there or at least be on time, "but today, we're going to be moving onto the third chakra, the manipura chakra, also called the solar plexus or the navel chakra, and it pretty much just means 'place of shining gem'. Which, any of you remember those troll dolls? Yeah, make that interesting connection to the navel chakra. Anyway, this is the chakra where confidence and power is said to come from, so...if you ever get that feeling like you could take over the whole world sometimes? 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. Allegedly. I have no idea what any of that feels like. My solar plexus chakra is apparently just always balanced.
"So this chakra is, obviously, no pints if you guessed it, supposed to be located 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 unbalanced manipura chakra.
"Probably the burritos, though. If any of you are dealing with that kind of unbalanced manipura chakra right now, please work downwind of your fellow classmates."
Unless you hate them, in which....respect.
"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."
