Gia-Raquel Rose, owner of Airs Above Yoga, LLC and a real estate sales associate in Tewksbury, New Jersey has had a love for horses stemming from early childhood. Growing up in “horse country” afforded her the privilege of beginning to ride from the tender age of four. It was a childhood illness, which brought her riding aspirations to an abrupt halt. It took twenty years before she was able to reunite with her long lost passion for horses and their ability to heal. In that time, she received a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communication from Arcadia University and became a twice two hundred hour certified yoga instructor in both Hatha and Vinyasa. It was the loss of her mother, Rose, to breast cancer, which ultimately shifted her trajectory from the corporate world to the internal work for which yoga, as a practice, is renowned.

Your power center deserves attention. The solar plexus chakra—that fiery, yellow energy center just above your navel—holds the key to your personal strength, confidence, and ability to pursue your passions without apology. When balanced, it allows you to take up space in the world unapologetically; when depleted, you might find yourself constantly saying "sorry" for simply existing.

In this deep exploration of Manipura (solar plexus chakra), we uncover the fascinating connection between your power center and other energy systems in your body. Did you know you have a primary chakra that influences your personality? For those with a dominant solar plexus, you might recognize yourself as goal-oriented, achievement-driven, and occasionally prone to overcommitment. Understanding this energetic blueprint offers profound insights into your natural tendencies and potential growth areas.

We journey through powerful yoga postures specifically designed to balance this crucial energy center. From the challenging Navasana (Boat Pose) that directly targets your core to the expansive Ustrasana (Camel Pose) that creates length and openness, each asana serves a purpose in your energetic maintenance. The Warrior series takes center stage as we explore how these poses embody the essence of the solar plexus—radiating strength from your center outward into all aspects of your life. For women especially, maintaining core strength isn't just about aesthetics; it's fundamentally important for structural support and long-term wellbeing.

Ready to claim your power and speak your truth? Join me in this empowering practice that honors both the fiery and receptive aspects of your third chakra. Remember: true strength begins at your center and emanates outward into everything you do.
