The Fourth Chakra - Heart Openers

Not to this practice but I have a heart chakra meditation focusing on green/heart and that always brings up emotion for me. That's a good thing, I think! Flag as offensive

Teary here, too, in a good way. I am really enjoying the chakra practices! Flag as offensive

Hi Catherine and Cyndi, It is common for emotions to arise when we go deep into an asana practice, especially when our focus is on opening the chest and shoulders in backbends. We manifest our experiences and emotions in our body. As we begin to unravel the layers, stuff can come up and the opportunity to accept and become aware of what is happening is a beautiful thing! This is when the yoga penetrates us on a cellular level and provides long lasting change as well as realigns us with the grain of our being! Flag as offensive

This happened to me too. I dedicated this practice to my grandma who has heart problems, but still is holding on to her strength and happiness. She, and other people who manage to face challenges with grace, are my inspiration. Thank you for this peaceful class Adi. Flag as offensive
