Which Chakra Does “Chair Lunge Pose II” Activate?
This chair yoga pose, which involves a standing lunge with the foot placed on a chair and the torso turned to the side, primarily activates the Solar Plexus Chakra, known as Manipura in Sanskrit.
Located in the upper abdomen, the Solar Plexus Chakra is associated with personal power, self-esteem, and assertiveness.
The active engagement of the core muscles in maintaining balance and stability during the lunge, along with the twisting of the torso, stimulates the Solar Plexus Chakra. This activation can enhance a sense of inner strength, confidence, and the ability to exert control over one’s life.
The lunge position itself also engages the muscles and joints in a way that is connected to the qualities of the Solar Plexus Chakra, such as determination and willpower.
