Womanipura derived
their name from combining the words "woman" and "manipura." Manipura is
the Sanskrit name for the Solar Plexus Chakra located
above the navel and just below the sternum where one's self-will
and inner fire are located. Manipura represents energy and vitality
and
translates to "lustrous gem." Manipura resonates to the
color yellow and is associated with the element of Fire.
Powers gained through awakening of one's Manipura includes knowledge
of one's own body
through movement and no fear of fire. The life lesson that can be gained
through acknowledgment of Manipura is the courage to take risks. Manipura
is about the power to be a unique individual while celebrating one's
continuing connection with all of humanity. The 3 members of Womanipura -
Heather, Lily & Jessica - approach their fire dancing with this
in mind. Using
elements of dance, yoga, capoeira, contact dance and improv, each
member is able to contribute their own style to the troupe,
creating
an
awe-inspiring
show
of sisterhood and flames.
