Solar Plexus Chakra Yoga Poses
The solar plexus chakra is associated with the color yellow and is located in the area of the stomach and stomach muscles. This chakra is associated with the element of fire, and is responsible for our sense of self-confidence and self-esteem. The solar plexus chakra is also responsible for our ability to manifest our desires into reality.
There are many yoga poses that can help to open and balance the solar plexus chakra. Some of the most effective poses include boat pose, camel pose, and warrior III.
Boat pose is a great pose to open and balance the solar plexus chakra. To do boat pose, sit on the floor with your legs bent and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands on the floor behind you, and raise your torso and legs off the floor. Hold the pose for five breaths, and then release.
Camel pose is another great pose to open and balance the solar plexus chakra. To do camel pose, stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bend forward at the waist and reach for your ankles. Keep your head up and your back straight. Hold the pose for five breaths, and then release.
Warrior III is also a great pose to open and balance the solar plexus chakra. To do warrior III, stand with your feet hip-width apart. Raise your left leg off the floor and extend it out to the side. Reach your arms out to the sides and parallel to the floor. Hold the pose for five breaths, and then release. Repeat on the other side.
