Podcast #21- Asana - The Seat of Your Heart: 30 Min Yoga Podcast

Taking our seat is sacred and pivotal to set one's intention while

staying in our expanded heart. Asana, means posture as well as the

posture of your heart (hrdyam). How we interact with ourselves and

others is yoga while you read these next questions go into your

heartspace and check in to see how are you aligning and keeping

connection to the bigger heart that holds all of us. Please allow

yourself to see how you keep connected to your heart (and disconnect)

throughout your day while you interact with your life in every way -

this is a great practice to learn how you align with yourself, others

and the world.

Focal Point: Where energy is gathered, moves into and moves

out of in every pose. There are 3 focal points: the upper palette,
