Part 4/8:
The focus remains on integrating breath with movement, helping to release tension and cultivate a deep sense of connection to the heart center. For instance, the practice encourages participants to explore ranges of motion that open the heart and chest, facilitating an experience of liberation as they breathe deeply.
De-armoring the Heart
As the practice continues, the instructor invites participants to partake in a significant aspect of emotional healing – the process of “de-armoring" the heart. Life experiences can often lead to emotional walls, which the breath can help dissolve. During moments in child’s pose or puppy pose, practitioners are encouraged to surrender fully, allowing the breath to soften and open the heart area further.
