If you are carrying the weight of grief, practicing backbends for healing heartbreak can help you release stored tension and invite emotional renewal. When we experience emotional pain, our natural physical response is often to protect ourselves by rounding the shoulders and closing off the chest. This protective posture can trap tension and limit our breath, reinforcing feelings of sadness and isolation.
In this 30-minute level 2 hatha yoga flow, instructor Cameron Gilley guides you through a sequence of heart opening yoga backbends designed to gently dissolve this physical armor. This hatha yoga for heartbreak practice focuses on mindful physical alignment to help you safely expand your chest and shoulders.
