Join us for a weekend of in-depth chakra exploration January 21-22 with Lynn Brown and Kristen O'Conner. Details about these workshops can be found here. In preparation we will delve into each chakra through our blog series:
lluminasana: Explore your Energy in Motion.

Vishuddha
The Throat Chakra

Picture
Look over the following list of key concepts for the 5th chakra. Write down your feelings and thoughts, draw a picture, or meditate on one or all of the following areas.
Voice
Vibration
Connection

Communication
Rhythm
Singing / Chanting

Creativity (self expression)
Sound
Writing
Listening
Harmony
Telepathy

This chakra involves the neck, throat, mouth, and jaw. How do you feel about these areas of your body? Reflect on challenges or triumphs that you have experienced during your life related to these areas.
Picture
The following movements are intended to gently awaken your awareness of your throat chakra. These movements can be performed in seated or standing tadasana (mountain pose).

Starting with a gentle double chin, lift your nose slightly (inhale), now draw your nose down, tucking the jaw back over the shoulders (exhale). Continue until you are nodding yes slowly. Progress to nodding no, looking right and left while keeping the gentle double chin. You can also explore with the shoulders here. Let the shoulders rise toward your ears (inhale) and then draw your collar bones flat lowering shoulders (exhale). Shoulders can continue to lift and lower with the breath or small shoulder circles may naturally occur. Can you keep the double chin throughout the shoulder movement?


*Note: Whenever you practice a yoga posture (asana), rest when you need to and do not force. It should feel invited and natural to be in any pose.
