Video taken from the channel: FullyRawKristina
Practice These 7 Yoga Poses to Open Your Heart and Activate the Heart Chakra: 1. Half Camel Pose With Heart Chakra Hand Placement. Half Camel Pose is a deep backbend for your upper back, and 2. Wheel Pose. Wheel Pose develops mobility and flexibility in your spine and hip flexors as well.15 Heart-Opening Yoga Poses Supported Fish | 10 breaths.
Begin with this restorative yoga pose to gently open up the chest and shoulders. Place a Bound Bridge | 8 breaths. You’ll open up the chest and shoulders while also strengthening the core and glutes.
Lie on Baby Cobra | 3 reps.Sphinx is a good place to learn how to draw your chest through your shoulders, an action that will come in handy in many other poses (like cobra and upward facing dog) and is great for heart opening. Press strongly into your forearms to extend your spine, making room for your chest to move forward.Poses for Your Heart Heart openers like Bow Pose and Cobra can help you heal your body, mind, and spirit.
The bridge pose is one of the easier moves in the yoga practice, and it creates an open space in the chest cavity, making it a prime heart chakra go-to move. For those who just cannot get up into wheel pose easily, the bridge pose will likely give them similar physical benefits while aiming to keep the heart chakra open and vulnerable.Camel pose is the mother of all heart-opening poses.
It opens the entire front of the body, challenges core strength and improves spinal, hip and shoulder flexibility. It’s a deep backbend, though, so flow through a few Sun Salutations beforehand. HOW TO DO IT: Kneel with your knees hip-distance apart.
This pose suggests openness, and this variation is the most extreme in terms of heart opening. Set up your two blocks on the highest setting, with the long edge of the block parallel to the short edge of your mat. There should be about six inches between the two blocks.Back bending poses (actually referred to as “heart openers”) help you open and balance the heart chakra, and release tension and blocked emotions.
Here are a few wonderful heart opening poses to incorporate into your practic.Open your chest and heart with these yoga poses, including Bridge, Cobra and King Pigeon Pose. Open your heart and shoulders in chest opening yoga poses like Camel Pose, Fish Pose and Wild Thing. Home.
Flow through these nine poses to open your heart and mind, and cope with loss in a healthy way. Find the inner strength to process grief and loss this season with this yoga sequence, which calls on chest-opening lunges, backbends, and twists; nurturing restorative poses; and a.Heart-Opening Wall Stretch Move to the wall and come to sit on your heels. Place one forearm and hand on the wall.
Roll the shoulder back, slightly lengthen and arch your back, and begin to rotate your body.Heart openers are any yoga poses that lead with the heart (literally and symbolically). You are literally leading with your heart while you’re in the pose. Symbolically, these poses open your heart chakra, which physically creates an increase in energy.
Heart opening yoga poses, or asanas, typically involve the chest and shoulder area, as well as arching postures. Basic Yoga Poses for the Heart Chakra A yoga position, called an asana, is a pose designed to benefit your physical, spiritual, and emotional health.You will see the heart opening postures listed here are for opening the front and the back of the “heart-space,” as well as poses that require strength of the core, legs and shoulders to hold with an open heart. May you live with a strong, open heart and inspire those you touch to do the same!
Classic Heart Opening Poses: Floor Bow. Lay on your belly and bring your chin to the ground. Bend your knees and reach.
ANAHATASANA 3 Min – This pose is called the melting heart as it gently stretches your chest and benefits your heart and lung meridians. Come onto all fours and then walk your hands slightly forward. Keep your hips slightly in front of your knees as you begin to lower your chest towards the floor.
Breathe deeply into the stretch.

Building deeper strength in my physical, emotional and spiritual self each day. So glad that I am reminded that whilst I practice by myself during the pandemic I am not alone. Glad for your company out there in the Universe! And grateful for Adriene’s energy, gentle humor and responsiveness. Namaste!
The music at the back is so relaxing. Where can we listen to it?:) thanks for this great video Kristina!
You are amazing! Thank you so much for your job that inspires me ��
Kristina you are my inspiration. I’ve recently gone raw vegan for health reasons (I caught Lyme disease when I went to Thailand). I’ve been a vegetarian since i was 8 years old so it wasn’t a hard stretch to go vegan. Now I wouldn’t go back!
I’m giving myself a 30 day challenge. I can’t do all the poses yet and I’m going to try to master them and the breathing by taking the class for 30 days.
I would really like to do my practice without an advertisement coming on about 1 minute into the session. I shall find another video now thank you.
Hi Adriene, I enjoyed this class, but sometimes thought came that you speak too much and I stay too long not doing, when I came to practice Hatha Yoga. Other times, for me, and according to the American College of Sport’s Medicine, you take too little time on certain important poses, certain important areas of tension where you are too fast. Finally, there was no final relaxation which was very disappointing. Anyways, thank you for your effort and have a great day regardless!
Loved this!
I want more Yoga videos, please and thank you <3:)
I like all her videos before even seeing them, awesome flow!
This was a really helpful video! I’ve always wanted to do yoga, but didn’t know where to start. This seems like the perfect way. Thanks for inspiring me to actually finally try yoga!
I done this with my sister the other day and she really liked it, we are going to start a 30 days of yoga on the 1st of June, can’t wait! We also lit a rose quartz candle and had the light off we were really feeling it ����
How many times can I like this video? It’s so good, Candace. Always keeps me coming back for more. Love your yoga videos. Thank you.
You look STUNNING! I will try these yoga moves. Ive been wanting to get into yoga, but never knew where to start. This was extremely helpful. THANK YOU KRISTINA <3

Kristina, you are fabulous! Thank you very much for lots of inspiration! I love doing yoga too! Namaste������
Please email or and look up my son on your youtube.com/lukewechselberger to connect and view his platform of his coaching also. My daughter is patiently waiting for her baby blanket business to launch for you from china for all the moms on your fantastic website. I don’t like to solicit my kids that are waiting for a daily miracle from God, but I firmly believe in embracing ourselves with all the love and energy you feel here. Did one practice and just viewed and listened to the second.My mom always, always does what your mom does with her hands! Ha! Ha! Cooincidence we are together. P.S Do not allow a vaccine
to be created out of infant body parts!! Say NO! Tell your CONGRESS to STOP this sick IDEA! Pass it on to all your yogis listed in your contacts. Life is to precious, and so is the dignity of our bodies starting with conception to your town hall!Rain here! How about their? No room for hate here! this is your love connection, and we must measure unusual occurences relating to mind, body, and space.Be good to ourselves, and one another!
I was not connecting with this practice at first, but by the third deep lunge it was becoming one of my favorite that I’ll probably return to many times.
Hi Kristina,
do you know if JOHN ROSE is okay? we havent heard of him for a long time now. hes not anwsering on facebook nor youtube. just want to know if hes okay. we are worried:/
Yoga poses are so great:) I love this!!! <3 I enjoy the new videos that you are making and i think if everyone did yoga the world would be a better place
Hi Erin! Sadly there are a lot of silly American soccer moms’ giving Yoga lessons with their exceedingly under-dressed costumes with too much makeup and child-like spoiled voices. But now that I found your channel I can easily concentrate to the flow. Your style, your neat instructions, your manner on only focusing in Yoga is really good for me. Thank you a lot!
How I wish everyone in the world chose to start their day off with such a loving practice❤️�� Thank you Adriene. God used your practice to show me what was on my heart and how to embrace it all, and be ok with it all❤️ This is a daily struggle for me. So Thank you for your love Adriene. You give so much to us. We love you too!❤️
uuuuuuuuuugghhhhh!!!! this was amaaaziiiinggg!! Thank you so much:)
Iove the yoga video! The wheel pose also feels great to do against the wall, try pushing your chest towards the wall to open up even more:) <3
Dear Adrienne, just finished this video today and enjoyed it from the beginning until the end and will for sure share it with my friends ��. I started Yoga this year in January with your videos not knowing if I would like it or not and it has been a treat for me everyday since especially with these two months of lockdown….Thanks again for all the nice energy and content you share with us!
Yaaaay! I love that you’re incorporating Yoga into your video shares. I would love to see more about proper alignment, so that beginners can avoid injury or strain, maximizing the glorious benefits these poses. Love you, Woman!
Hola Kris es un buena pose también para aperturas la pose del pez (fish pose)! Te mando mucho amor! me gustó mucho el video.
Thanks for sharing, I love your coverup, cute more modest than most and not as distracting as others. Can you share a little routine for those of us with bad knees and hips and move slower? Maybe your Mom would do it with you for us older gals? Bless you and may everyone who does exercise better their faith, their soul, mind and body in good ways for themselves and others.
Found this on the dizziness-good with all exercise-The dizziness that comes with deep breathing is usually caused by breathing out carbon dioxide faster than the body produces it. This makes the blood less acidic, which apparently causes a chemical alteration in nerve function that makes you feel light-headed. The cure is to breathe more slowly and/or less deeply.Aug 28, 2007

That said you may want to slow down and breath slower, dizziness is not healthy, it is a warning. Hope that helps. Love our tip to modify, you look great and are great! Blessings!
Thanks Kristina, Great video as always with helpful info. Heart chackra is what I’m working on atm. ��️��✨
marvelous you are splendid, will try but difficult for me with multiple sclerosis. With all my l ove Kristina it is always a greatpleasure seing you
I do it by myself everyday Yes it open up your day as I start the day., Namaste
Omg Kristina! Your hair has been changed recently. I’ve been noticing in past few videos. Please make a video with your recent updates
Wow that was great I will incorporate this in my morning routine. Thank you
love the video! Was needing this ‘push’ in the right direction! Thank you♡
Today I came back to this session and it is just lovely. A great inner mind workout. You have taught me how to YOGA. Thank you forever.
Thank you for slowly and carefully explaining the movements, much love!
I feel much lighter after this sequence. Thank you for all the options!
PLEASE make a series on yoga! A variation, for beginners and more advanced too!?
That was so beautiful Adriene. Thank you for sharing your gifts and your light ������
Hi Kristina I lost my preiod 3 month ago could you help something to bringing back to me please.
I finally pushed up from my belly to plank using my center. Today was a good day celebrating the little things!
I can’t tell you how beneficial this sequence is for me! Whenever I am feeling groggy or unmotivated, this video opens me up and provides the energy that I need:) Your videos are great Candace, thank you!Namaste.
Beautiful Kristina! After doing yoga for many years I have decided to do 200 hour yoga teacher training, and I am loving it and learning so much! I feel like it would be good for you too, not just to be a teacher but to learn more about yourself as well and deepen your practice.. muah!
Every time one of your one hour class pops up in front of me I jump on it for that day. Omg it’s always something to look forward to. You’re really the best teacher out there. Wish I can meet you in person and do one of your retreats. ❤️����
I am loving your new videos! I love this one especially! Thanks, Kristina! <3
You have an amazing wheel pose. I am trying to build up to that pose. Thank you. Do more, please!
this was cool! a nice feature would be to do certain poses or stretches to help certain muscle groups or areas like neck/shoulder, lower lumbar, hips, etc
You are amazing Kristina! I love your videos and you always inspire me to do better. You were and are one of my inspirations to going vegan and now also trying to do more raw. Thanks for all that you do. I might be trying yoga soon too!
I love this video! ���� You look amazing, I love you Kristina ������
Just found you recently and absolutely love your practices..I had been using someone else on YouTube and thought I liked them but your practices make me feel so much better…I’m so excited everyday to practice with you. Thank you for doing all of these videos!
Some life issues are way more important than healthy food, beauty tips and exercise. It’s weird that you are not addressing these other issues Kristina.
Beautiful! I noticed that you look more beautiful when you put your hair behind..it shows more of your beauty.:) I admire you. You are awesome
I was hoping you would address the issues of the John Rose video with the disclaimer, the offensiveness of it and showing your picture with him as if you agree and are a coauthor. And David Wolfe knowing WHO he is. You are just ignoring all of this. People need to research for themselves. Pretty is as pretty does. WOW!
Love all the moves of yoga ��♀️. Your such a beautiful soul and inspiration.xo ����♥️
I am fighting off a cold today and this flow really helped me to feel better thank you ��������
I just did this for the first time and was emotional as I let my heart open to the love that is available to me. Thank you so much for what you create and how it helps countless people to feel and be better. Namaste. ����
Where did you get those pants? My wife saw me doing this yoga video and she would love a pair:)
This video was PERFECT. I absolutely loved it. Many of my favorite poses that most instructors ignore, you included in this session! <3
This practice was awesome!!! I just wish you narrated and explained each pose while you were actually doing it. That way would understand how much time it takes for us to follow a flow we don’t know. I mean you could do it with the pace you did because you already knew what you were going to do, while we wait for you to tell us and explain to us.. I had to watch the screen all the time because the narration didn’t help much.. But as I said before, it was a great practice!!
I want you to know this is my all time favorite flow that I keep coming back to. It has everything I need!
It’s so nice to watch you. Not only do I like your style, but your videos too. Greetings from Germany, Alex������
I’ve been practicing this flow for nearly four years, with occasional jogging. It changed my life literally. Just find thing you enjoy!! I wasn’t even bothered with the fact that i’m doin same thing over and over, it was enjoyment, thank you
Sooo wonderful, thank you for this soothing flow practice, it’s exactly what I needed today <3
I use your videos in my practice. Challenging poses but getting closer.
Thank you❤�� you are helping me a lot to cope woth my anxiety. You’re awesome, I’m awesome, anyone reading this…you are definitely awesome. Sending you some love✨
Excellent exploratory cycle.
Helped id where I have politely called ‘instability’.
Hi Erin, this heart opening class was amazing! What I loved most was the vinyasa incorporating wild thing. The transitions flowed so well. Thanks again for allowing me the opportunity to practice with you.
Oh my heart.
Have been feeling heavy in my spirit and when I saw this title I knew this is what my body and inner child was needing. My heart has been heavy too, and at the beginning of the practice I felt it being tapped into and stretched open, so gently and lovingly.
I felt so much for humans like you Adriene. Very kind and gentle, all the while reminding me what a total badass I am
Yaaaas! I don’t mind at all flowing with Xtina every morning, glad you did this, let’s do some more:)
I really like these kinds of flows. It would be nice if.you could make more videos like this.
Thank you so much Adrienne. This is such a powerful flow and I got lots from it ����
video is awesone. wish they would write the names of the poses on the screen!
If anyone wants AMAZING, free yoga videos on YouTube, check out Yoga with Adriene! She does 30 day programs also. All free!
If you’re not watching this, the verbal instructions are not clear enough
I’ve had to take breaks but it breaks a lot of stress, oh and challenging
Love Benji’s unimpressed look at the beginning haha. Grateful to return to this practice this morning.
My intention is to honor Breonna Taylor today. She and I both work in medicine, though we have different skin colors, we share a kinship that I feel with other medical workers. First I work to fight COVID (and I still do) and now I fight for justice too. It’s a long road, filled with love and occasionally waves of pain and anger. Thank you for helping me connect to the love this morningmay I remain connected to that all day.
This is a nice flow, but definitely not for beginners. It ıs pretty fast, but slowing the video down works. I found the balance/worrier poses quite challenging, but that may be a good thing.
I dedicated this practice to my sister, she went through a lot and I didn’t know better at the time, how to help her or at least not make her feel alone or guilty. She loves me nevertheless and I cried thinking about how lucky I am for people forgiving me despite my mistakes. So I should forgive myself too, move on, and love more openly. I cried a lot especially in the cactus arms because they meant surrendering, opening my eyes to my deepest darkest regrets so that I could free the way for my hopes and dreams for a brighter future, in which I can give love more freely. Thank you Adriene, also the warming hands to the heart were very special ♥️
Yoga got me salivating enormously again:( aha. Really opening up my heart and body
I love this one I have done it a few times and cry every time at the end! Thank you Adrienne it’s beautiful
Hey there! Do you recommend this for people with herniated discs? My brother wants to try yoga at home and I’ve been practicing for years. I know these kind of backbends (except full wheel) can do him well, but maybe you know better since you created the sequence. ����
Loved this! I watch all your videos but this has to be my favorite so far. And its so nice that you are actually moving for 30 minutes instead of 25 and 5 for shavasana. <3
Uau, that was an AMAZING flow! Thank you very much Adriene and also to everybody in the community that makes this possible. Lots of love and I mean it. ��
Very great practice! I love how creative it was and it felt amazing! Thank you, Candace! Namasté.
Kristina, in these poses you mostly open your lower back. It’s good but your middle and upper areas are compresed.
I usually would stretch using these poses and didn’t realize that I was suppose to do them. It is a cake walk. Do you go for a jog afterwards?
Ever thought about giving a real exit like saying Namaste or something other than “comment like and subscribe and read my new book”?? Kinda takes away from the experience for me. If rather not hear that. Clearly if people like it they will likely show that without being told.
ADS in the middle of a yoga flow?! And for 50 Shades of Domestic Abuse at that?! Talk about a zen-killer.
Hi Candace, this video is still one of the best you ever made! So relaxed but with a nice flow throughout the practice. I especially like the way you once did this voice over-thing, it has a unique calmness and it kind of enhances the whole yoga experience:) thank you and happy new year!
