There's a lot going on at the moment, astrologically speaking, and the element of fire has a lot to do with it
For one, 2026 is the year of the horse, which represents perseverance and transformation.
From a yogic perspective, transformation is fuelled by fire, particularly your own internal fire.
The centre of fire in your body is your stomach, and it's attached to your manipura chakra, located in the solar plexus.
This chakra deals with grit, determination, and will power. It is blocked by low self-esteem and results in a lack of motivation and self-belief
To stimulate this fire, practice twisting postures to massage and strengthen your digestive organs, where your internal fire burns brightly.
In Irish folklore, fire also represents the home because families gather around fire for warmth and togetherness. Fire is the symbol of Brigid, who is one of the people and protects the people. She represents the home and fertility and is connected to spring, a period of growth and change.
If there was any time to reach out to your loved ones for support as you light a fire under you to get going, it's now
Believe in yourself! You're so much stronger and more capable than you know
We'll be practicing twists in class right up until Brigids Day and then we'll have our lovely retreat to usher in spring, the real new year.
