Manipura Chakra Flow – Building Heat

Manipura Chakra (power center or third chakra) is the home of our inner fire.  This heat building flow is a great way to stimulate and energize this energy center.  This practice includes the use of large muscles groups, twists and repetitions to build heat.  Be sure to keep the heat in check, you don’t want to burn out!  You are always in control of how much heat you create during your practice.

Add a little music to your practice with this fire inspired playlist.

This class was filmed during the COVID-19 crisis in the US.  It’s offered for free use, but in return I would ask that you share the love.  If you can, support your local studio by purchasing a pass or a gift card. If you unable to support your studio monetarily, please consider giving them a positive review, sharing a post or recommending their services to a friend.  Like many businesses in the service industry, yoga studios are being hit quite hard by this crisis.

Yin Practice for Runners

Take some time and give your legs some much needed TLC!  Throughout my half marathon preparations these are some of the Yin postures that helped me stay on track with training kept my legs happy.

Yin is a very slow and patient style of yoga.  On the surface it may appear easy or gentle, but the longer holds can be quite challenging.

I would recommend playing some soothing music in the background like cello or “spa” music.

Flow Naturally

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
