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.

This is a very powerful practice! Physically (I sweat a lot!) and spiritually/emotionally. Like a lot of people I'm sure, I have struggled with self-esteem issues for as long as I can remember, and I am realizing how much this has held me back in life. At the same time, I've also been reflecting a lot lately on times when I have acted out from my ego in ways that were potentially hurtful to or at the least not helpful to others. While the global situation right now is very awful and tragic, I have been feeling grateful for the quarantine in my own personal life because it's allowed me extra time for my daily yoga practice and self-reflection. And as always, thank you DYWM and all the amazing teachers on this site! This website has truly transformed my life for the better.
Great, super challenging flow. There is too much talking for my preference, but I am simply amazed at how Fiji can calmly and strongly cue and talk during the entire class. She's so strong!
Challenging holds. A very good strength building class. I selected on a day when I just didn't have as much juice in the can. So, I challenged myself to do what I could, building towards the future when maybe I'll be able to do the full class. Maybe not , but it doesn't matter because it's about the journey and meeting my body where it is.
Mostly note to myself: long holds!
