February 2012: Hearts

Hello Friends,

February. Febrero. Fevrier. It's a leap year. You have an extra February day to focus on the heart chakra.

Be joyous.

In the spirit of Cupid + Hallmarks's Valentine month, we focus on bringing balance to the heart chakra.

A chakra is a wheel-like energy point in the body. In traditional Indian medicine, it is believed that 7 energy points exist along the subtle body.

The heart chakra or anahata in Sanskrit is located at the center of the heart. The heart chakra is the center of the chakra system and connects the lower chakras to the upper chakras.

The heart or the fourth chakra is activated between the ages of 4-7 and governs the heart, lungs, blood, diaphragm, thymus, breasts, and the circulatory system. This chakra is represented by the colors green and pink. An unbalanced heart chakra can lead to illness.

We will focus on yoga postures and healing techniques that can bring balance to an overactive or under active heart chakra in class this month.

February Focus : Heart Chakra



Ways to Balance the Heart Chakra:

- Simple massage of the heart area
- Breath-work
- Reiki
- Heart opening yoga asanas
