Unless the eye catch fire, the god will not be seen. Unless the tongue catch fire, the god will not be named.
Unless the heart catch fire, the god will not be loved. Unless the mind catch fire, the god will not be known. -William Blake

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.
