Yoga is to be lived…

December 2, 2013

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life.
Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming.”

Aadil Palkhivala
“Fire of love”

Asanas for Manipura Chakra

June 11, 2013

asanas for Manipura

The 7 Chakras are the spiritual energy centres within the body.
Manipura is the solar plexus chakra,
related to the colour yellow.
It represents our ability to be confident and in-control of our lives.

When this chakra is balanced,
we feel at peace, energetic and fearless.

Due to the location of the Solar Plexus chakra,
the most beneficial yoga poses are those
that massage the Pancreas, stimulate the kidneys, and work the abdomen.

Here are some great asanas to balance the Manipura chakra
and develop a positive self-value:

Surya Namaskar
Adho Mukha Svanasana
Virabhadrasana 2
Parivrtta Trikonasana
Parivrtta Utkatasana
Navasana
Urdhva Prasarita Padasana
Dhanurasana
Jathara Parivritti
Ardha Matsyendrasana
Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana
Savasana
