Exploring the Chakras: The Navel Chakra (in-person or livestream)
w. Judah Gesmundo
This six-session semester will cover basic concepts and practices related to the seven chakras. According to Yoga tradition, the chakras (spinning wheels) are located in the subtle/energy body and run from the base of the spine to just above the crown of the head.
Each chakra will be covered over the six weeks of the semester. Session three begins with chakra opening exercises followed by a specific focus on Chakra Three, the Naval (Manipura) Chakra. Sessions include presentation content, breathwork/pranayama, asana practice, and end with savasana and meditation.
You will:
Increase familiarity with each chakra, its element and qualities
Gain knowledge of specific postures that can help open and connect with each chakra
Enhance your awareness of the flow of prana within the subtle body
Join Judah Gesmundo for this semester exploration, tapping into and gaining understanding of the energy of the chakras within your own body.

The Navel Chakra / Manipura
At Manipura we experience our life force move from the combination of matter and movement up to the fire center. This is the center of digestive fire, providing our body with fuel and energy and the center of our “inner fire" fueling our thoughts, decisions, and actions. When balanced and energy is flowing, the Navel Chakra supplies energy for living and forms the basis for transformation, clear intention, fearlessness, courage, and personal power.
