Chakras and Self-Care
Strengthening your core muscles is a great way to let your body lead you into feeling stronger and more confident as you discover and share your unique gifts and talents with the world. Additionally, your posture will improve, and you will feel better!
Here are a few simple exercises to bring strength and energy to your solar plexus and core muscle groups. Go for sensation, not pain. For most of these, engage your core by drawing your belly button toward your spine.
And remember to BREATHE!
Sit with buttocks on edge of chair, bend forward knee 90 degrees, straighten back leg while supporting on ball of the foot. Elongate spine and reach arms next to ears. Hold for 2-3 breaths.
Start on hands and knees. Lift and reach with right leg and left arm while keeping spine straight and belly button pulled toward spine. Hold for 2-3 breaths and repeat with left leg and right arm.
