Power, purpose, and core strength—all in one practice.
Your Manipura Chakra is your source of personal power.
It’s where motivation lives. Where gut feelings guide you. And where you build the confidence to actually do the thing.
When this chakra is balanced, you feel:
- 🔥 Energized and empowered
- 🧭 Clear on who you are and what you want
- 💪 Strong in your body and decisions
And when it’s blocked? You might feel stuck, indecisive, or just plain blah.
That’s where this solar plexus yoga flow comes in—focused on core strength, twists, and breathwork to reignite your spark.
