Manipura sequence
EXPLORING MANIPURA IN YOUR PRACTICE
Through core awareness, twist, and gentle backbends in our yoga practice we can build heat and generate energy in this area – stimulating the organs, glands and nerve endings, and balancing the energy of the 3rd chakra.
Try the above sequence, paying particular attention to this solar plexus region. Start your practice lying on your back and placing your hands between your lower ribs and your naval. Breath into this area and feel the rise and fall of the breath in the belly. Start to tip your pelvis forward and back with your breath. Notice how the space between the pointy hip bones and the bottom rib stretches as the pelvis tilts forward (anterior tilt), and contracts as the pelvis tilts back (posterior tilt). Check in with your solar plexus region throughout your practice and feel into the heat and energy move through the area.
