Bija Mantras

Thanks for a beautiful class Sunday. Opening the heart chakra in many of our postures allows the chest and sternum to rise, sometimes resulting in a feeling of lightness after practice. We have moved up and out of our base, up and out of our solar plexus and raise the heart. So many postures involve the heart and when we allow the heart to lead the way many postures can become more beautiful and fluid. Bringing awareness to where the heart is in practice can bring change. Much of the Surya Namaskar that we did near the end of class involves bringing the heart into the vinyasa on all of the back-bends as well as the forward folds.
