Hello Friends! Happy Tuesday!

Last night in my Monday evening class at Essential Escape Spas + Yoga we did some core strengthening. Strengthening your core is so beneficial, it helps with balance and helps create a healthy strong back. Much of the asanas we did activated the lower three chakras, the Mulahdara (Root) Chakra, the Savdisthana (Sacral) Chakra, and the Manipura (Solar Plexus) chakra.

I really want to talk about the Manipura (Solar Plexus) chakra. It’s is associated with the color yellow. It’s where we all carry our more masculine energy. It is the space of self confidence. Your place of personal power. Heading into this week last nights practice was perfect calling in the intention (sankalpa) right to our Third Chakra. Then strengthening this space with postures (asana) to help push that intention into our whole week!

If you want to strengthen your Solar Plexus Chakra start by take a deep breath into the belly. Fill the belly all the way up with the breath and then slowly exhale. Repeat that big breath four or five times. Each time you breathe in call in a powerful intention like, “I am confident” or “I am strong” or “I stand in my power”. Allow your breath to steady after the four or five rounds of big deep belly breaths. Once you are through those four or five rounds of breath, start to breathe normally at you own pace let the breath steady. When your ready go about your day knowing you can return to this practice anytime you need to activate the Manipura Chakra.

Have a wonderful day friends!

Peace and Be well.

Going to be trying something new starting this week. I am going to start writing down intentions for the week and small goals. Striving to have no less than 3 of each and no more than 5.

I am definitely ambitious with 5 of each this week.

I’ll share my intentions for the week:
1. I am keeping an open mind
2. I will continue to act in my best interest
3. All is well and will be well
4. I am strong
5. I am making healthy choices

What are some intentions you have for the week? Post below if you feel comfortable sharing!

Be sure to end your Monday off right and join me 7 pm Essential Escape Spas + Yoga for All Levels Flow!

Have you stopped to notice your breath today?

I always start my classes with centering and breath work. Three deep breaths in through the nose and exhale sighs out through the mouth.

In our society we forget to slow down and breathe. We are hunched over our computers/ screens or always on the go. Always forward thinking seldomly stopping to relish and live in the moment.

It’s the weekend and even if your work weekends, try and challenge yourself to slow down and take five minutes to take some breaths and find some gratitude!

If you would like to breathe with me come on out
Sunday 9 am or Monday 7 pm Essential Escape Spas + Yoga
