This energetic session focuses on opening the shoulder space, centering the core and expanding the heart space with variations offered for different body types. The step-by-step breakdown to engage specific muscle groups on the lower back, core and pelvic floor prepares a safer transition for deeper postures. Guided by breathwork and mindfulness-based meditation, Heart-Opening Yoga not only connects us closer to our true nature, but also uplifts joy, gratitude and inner bliss. Regular practice supports regular heart rhythms, improves the circulatory and respiratory systems, while countering the desk worker's slouch.
