This class is dedicated to the third chakra. It is a fun, energizing, challenging and motivating class. The 3rd chakra (Manipura Chakra), located at the Solar Plexus between the navel and sternum, is associated with the qualities of willpower, motivation, a sense of purpose, and drive.
Class begins with some rounds of Ujjayi Pranayama - deep, powerful breathing - as you set an intention before you begin to move through your postures. Warm up with twists, side bends and cat cows before firing up the core with spinal balance and knee to nose warm-ups.
Build heat with sun salutations before grounded deep twists and belly breathing. Standing poses are plentiful and include familiar poses like warrior 2, triangle, core triangle, standing straddle half way lift twists, reverse warrior and more.
Increase strength in forearm plank and forearm plank push ups, boat, and reclined sit up twists.
Balance in airplane and side plank with side plank crunches and upward angle. Stretch the core in downward facing bow. Continue to stretch in lounging lizard with quad stretches, before working the core in reclined leg lift twists before full belly twisting posture.
Cool down with knees to chest pose before Savasana.
As you prep for Savasana, return to the qualities of the 3rd chakra, resting in the heat created by this incredible practice.
