Additional Chest Openers

Here is another idea for opening the chest and opening your heart.  Quite literally, I feel a weight lifted from my chest when I do this relaxing pose.  It is great for those moments in the winter when you feel yourself becoming negative or cranky because of the cold or perhaps the lack of sun.

These pictures show a bolster being placed along the spine starting at the lower back and across the lower back.  If you do not have a bolster, a rolled up blanket works just as well, but make sure that it is a firm blanket so as to support your back.

 

Be sure to practice your deep breathing in this posture.

                                                                     Relax and let go!
