“The success of yoga does not lie in the ability to perform asana’s, but in how it positively changes the way we live our lives…” T.K.V. Desikachar
Surrender to hip & heart openers as we get more open and allow ourselves to feel and move more freely.
Hips are part of the sacral chakra & the Heart is its own chakra.
ORANGE: Sacral (2nd Chakra)
The tasks of the second chakra include allowing for emotional and sensual movement in our life, opening to pleasure, and learning how to “go with the flow.” Associated with the hips, sacrum, lower back, genitals, womb, bladder, and kidneys, this chakra is involved with sensuality, sexuality, emotions, intimacy, and desire. All watery things about us have to do with this chakra: circulation, urination, menstruation, orgasm, tears.
Water flows, moves, and changes, and a healthy second chakra allows us to do so too.
Second chakra asanas help us with adaptability and receptivity
GREEN: Heart (4th Chakra)
The fourth chakra, the heart chakra,rests in the center of the chakra system, at the core of our spirit. Its physical location is the heart, upper chest, and upper back.The fourth is the balance point, integrating the world of matter (the lower three chakras) with the world of spirit (the upper three chakras). Through the heart chakra, we open to and connect with harmony and peace. The health of our heart center registers the quality and power of love in our life. In Sanskrit, the heart chakra is called Anahata, which means “unstruck” or “unhurt.” Its name implies that deep beneath our personal stories of brokenness and the pain in our heart, wholeness, boundless love, and a wellspring of compassion reside.
The most powerful way to open, energize, and balance not just the heart chakra but all of our chakras is to love ourselves and others.
