Open your heart.

"Live a full day with an open mind and an open heart and see what happens"
- Nadia Toraman

In honor of Valentine's Day, I will be incorporating a lot of heart openers into not only my personal practice, but in the class sequences I teach coming up. Some great examples of heart opening yoga poses are: Bhujangasana (Cobra), Kapotasana (King Pigeon),Urdhva Dhanurasana (Upward Bow), and Purvottanasana (Intense East Stretch). It is easy to close our hearts off from others, and hard to break down the walls we've built around our hearts to protect it from pain. Why not work a little harder this week on keeping your heart and mind open, letting the love from yourself and from others flow through you.
Om Shanti,
Zoe
