Fire Up Your Confidence With These Simple Yoga Poses

This week, we’re going to strengthen your 3^rd chakra (your core) with a few simple yoga poses and a pranayama (breath) exercise. Your 3rd chakra is your fire chakra and it is the home of your confidence, charisma and “can do” attitude.

This is the third video in a seven video series of yoga poses that boost each chakra. If you missed the first two videos that boost the root and sacral chakras, they’re here:

After years of working with my yoga students and life coach clients, I’ve learned that 3rd chakra tends to be a real problem spot. It’s the place where a lot of people – especially women and people who consider themselves “spiritual” – lose their chakra power. And physically speaking the nexus where your solar plexus and heart chakra energy meets (in the bottom of your heart/top of your solar plexus) is the middle of your being. Strong energy here means you are able to bridge the worlds of your upper chakras and lower chakras; of spirit and matter.

I could go on for quite awhile about why women and “spiritual people” tend to leak core energy, but I’ll save that for another post. To give you a hint, it has to do with how spiritual folks often see the ego as something “bad,” and how young girls are socialized to be “nice” at all costs, and your ego and your anger both “reside” in your 3rd chakra.

Basically, your core is your personality center. It’s where the individual you lives. And it’s very, very important. It gives you belief in your value and confidence in your ability to do things. It motivates you and helps you make decisions and act decisively. It gives you a certain charismatic energy.

So how can you get more of it? There are a lot of self-growth tools I could share with you, but for now we’re only going to focus on the physical.

It’s all about your core. Fire up your core. Strengthen it. And don’t be afraid to be BOLD.
