Part 6/9:
In the next part of the class, participants prepare for heart-opening shapes. Hannah provides various options to deepen the experience while emphasizing that each person should choose what feels best for them. The use of yoga blocks can help bring height to certain poses, but once again, there is a clear emphasis that everyone should feel empowered to listen to their bodies throughout.
The group is guided into poses that open the heart space, including child’s pose variants and other stretches that gently pull the heart toward the earth. Each breath is an opportunity to visualize breathing deeply into the heart, creating an intimate connection with this part of the body.
