{Y}ingenuity |Protector of the Heart | Pericardium Meridian
Yoga 45-60 Minutes • 53m
The Pericardium protects the heart physically AND emotionally - regulating blood distribution, linking the sacral chakra to the heart chakra, and protecting the heart from excess/deficient emotional energies.
In this practice we focus on the upper body - chest, inner arms, neck and upper back to connect to and balance this meridian system. Check in with yourself and see if you are feeling too open or too closed, breathe, and explore this meridian system.
Props: 1 blanket or towel and 1 block or stack of books
