Valentine’s Day Flow with Debora Wednesday, February 14th, 6:30pm Following this flowing practice, guided meditation, and deep relaxation you will leave feeling receptive, restored, and breathing easily. Through mindful sequencing we will warm the body, explore shapes to balance the spine, open shoulders and chest, increase breath capacity and heart openness. This negatively impacts posture, shoulder mobility, respiratory health, and over all openness to love and joy. Love yourself! Especially in the winter months and in combination with daily habits, the shoulders can become rounded and the chest closed in an effort to conserve body heat and protect against the elements. Valentine’s Heart Opening Workshop with Caroline Monday, February 19, 10am-noon All yoga postures that fit into one of these categories, such as peaceful warrior, standing backward bend, and camel, to name a few (and shown above), can be “heart opening.” Other heart opening exercises include stretching the side body, shoulders, and chest and spinal extension (back bends) to make space inside the body and improve posture. As such, through simply breathing properly we can support heart health. Stress is a huge factor in disease in our country, including heart disease.When we consciously breathe into the rib cage on the front, side and back of the body, we create more space inside the body, and, in turn, more space for the heart and lungs.When the intercostal muscles between each rib are stretched and the rib cage is able to move in a healthy way, the rib cage protects the heart and lungs but also acts as a massage mechanism, squeezing when we exhale and expanding when we inhale, which assists optimal blood flow, lymphatic circulation, and the healthy exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide - all ways the body detoxifies and nourishes itself. This constriction of the heart and lungs triggers the body’s sympathetic nervous system and leaves us in a stress-response state. A constricted rib cage presses down on the heart and lungs, which constricts blood flow, lymphatic circulation, and breath, and prevents the heart and lungs from functioning optimally.A constricted rib cage happens when we breathe only into the chest due to unconscious breathing, stress response, and poor posture. How, you ask?Most people walk around with a constricted rib cage. Opening the space around the heart physically supports us to be more emotionally receptive, compassionate, giving, loving, and, yes, healthier when we move off the mat into our lives. When you hear a yoga instructor cue you to breath into the heart center, here's why she/he does it.
