The Anahata Chakra (Heart Chakra) symbolizes awareness and manifestations of love.  Representing the air element, Anahata is about the heart of our feelings.  It is associated with the heart of the spiritual center.  When in balance, we have emotional connections and find compassion, joy, and love as a full part of our life.  Back bends stimulate the opening and awakening of these qualities of being.

Emotional Relief- Learn to recognize connection, compassion, joy and love.
Physical Relief- Back bends ease back pain and stretch the front of the body.
