Chakra Three Flow
Fiji's third class in this 7-part series is a more challenging intermediate class due to the long holds. This power yoga class explores the energy of the third chakra, the chakra of the solar plexus or the manipurna chakra. Vitality, mental clarity, self-confidence and wisdom are qualities of the manipurna chakra, and Fiji supports your journey into these qualities within your self with grace and skill. This chakra is associated with the color yellow, which you can see is a part of Fiji's flashy outfit.

A few advanced poses with modifications offered. Definitely challenging to hold some poses and extended time. Enjoyable class although I think it was more difficult than Chakra 2 which was labeled advanced. Thanks Fiji!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. It looks like it's best to leave it as intermediate, but I'll include in the description that it's a more challenging intermediate class due to the long holds.
You did it again Fiji! This was an excellent test of endurance and the dialogue got me through it. Not being used to the extra long holds was certainly challenging for me, but I wouldn't classify this class as advanced as the poses themselves are not that difficult. I really appreciate your words which identified a personal need to balance and take care of the area around the manipura and will come back to this class again. Thank you!
I would definitely classify this as "advanced", although don't let that stop you from practicing. There were many times I had to modify a pose to suit me, but that's the beauty of yoga - no judgment! The message was a powerful one, something that resonated deep within my soul. I will be coming back to this one, time and time again.
