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.

which probably means that this is the Chakra that is the most out of balance. Am I right? Fought through some of the poses - will revisit this program in a few weeks to see how I progress. Thanks for the challenge!
Thank you, again, Fiji, I always learn something from your classes. My 3rd chakra feels soooo energized now (at this important intention setting time of the new moon). Which I realise I desperately needed. Definitely challenging intermediate....I'll reach proper titivasana in time with practice, I know.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou. :-)
Namaste.x
wonderful class. Way above my ability in places but still got lots from what I could do.
Was a little confused by 3rd chakra being below the navel, I thought it was just above?

This is a great question, and like you for many years I was informed that the 3rd chakra was located above the navel. This may be true! What I have come to learn in the last couple of years, in deeper study with some incredible teachers is that the chakra is located behind the naval and around 2 inches down. This is was shared first by an incredibly wise woman/teacher of Ayurveda and yoga. She has studied extensively at the Bihar yoga school in India for decades and is a fountain of knowledge. She also pointed out to me that that Kundalini yoga also sees this lower source of power.

Thank you. Interesting. I'll play with that
This 3rd chakra class inspired me to reconcile my natural abilities, skills, life story, to my intentions, goals, life purpose. I loved the 1st and 2nd chakra classes too, and am looking forward to moving on up through the rest of this series. Really love Fiji's teaching and spiritual guidance. Thank you for the good that these classes have brought to my life!
