Yoga; Friday, Fourth Period [06/07].

This was definitely one of Rosa's least favorite chakras to have to go over, so and so wasn't wasting any time getting started with class once it was time and everyone who was showing up was there on the beach with her.

"This week," she said, with a faint grunt of distaste and a sigh, "we're covering the heart chakra, or the Anahata chakra, which is said to be located....you guessed it...here," her fist settled on the center of her chest, "in your chest, near the heart. And, at the center of the chakra and at the core of your body, it's considered the chakra most important to over-all well-being, balancing your emotions, promoting good health and a sense of self-awareness, and also..."

Another sigh. She didn't quite roll her eyes, but it was a very near thing.

"Building meaningful relationships with others."

Blech. Just mentioning it was sending her manipura chakra out of balance!

"Honestly, if it wasn't the bridge between the upper and lower chakras, I'd say it's the most useless chakra out of all of them, but some people are pretty into it, I guess. Basically, anahata means unstuck, and the whole idea is that opening it allows you to love in a way that is 'unstuck'," pardon her while she unstuck her lips from each other in a little bit of a snarl, "from expectation or attachment, as well as from negative emotions or past trauma that might be holding someone back from attaining love from both self and others.

"The heart chakra is said to be where all of our life energy is regulated, so I guess that's important, and it's associated with the element of air and the color green. After we get warmed up with our usual sun salutations, we're going to go over some asana that will help open your heart chakra, which will include poses like the camel, the half bridge, the hilariously named cow faced pose, and the extended cobra pose. And if you're feeling like you want a little more challenge, there's the wheel and the dancer. Basically all poses that are going to open up your chest a lot. For...obvious reasons. Let's get started."

The sooner they did, the sooner they could move on from it all, really.
