Manipura Fire: Shoulder Opening & Puppy Pose
This Power Asanas class is dedicated to Manipura Chakra, the centre of inner fire, confidence, and personal power.
We begin by awakening the shoulders through a series of strengthening and mobility exercises before exploring twists, binds, and deep chest-opening postures designed to create space across the upper body. Along the way, you’ll build stability, improve shoulder awareness, and challenge your coordination through playful movements that strengthen both body and mind.
Our peak pose is Anahatasana (Puppy Pose), explored in two variations, allowing you to gradually deepen into a powerful stretch for the shoulders, chest, and upper back. Optional props, including a strap and blocks, provide opportunities to personalise the practice and explore different levels of intensity.
The class concludes with nourishing shoulder releases and a guided Manipura meditation, inviting the fiery energy cultivated throughout the practice to settle into a steady inner ember of strength, clarity, and resilience.
Suitable for all levels, with options ranging from gentle to more advanced throughout the practice.
