Chakra Four: Loosening the Bonds in the Heart
The Anahata Chakra is located in the upper chest region; we shall imagine it behind the sternum and in the center of the upper torso. The name means "Unstruck," suggesting that there is a place in our hearts that has never been hurt with harm or fear. Its quality is air, which suggests the concept of our hearts being as light as air. This online yoga class will move you through a warm-up sequence similar to all flow classes, except that heat will come from how you breathe as well as the poses. Backbends will be coupled with Mantra and specific breathing techniques to bring a sense of lightness and expansiveness around the heart.
