Yoga Mending Hearts

Yoga can help people who are working through the pain of a broken heart.  Whether the loss is a loved one, a relationship, a job aspiration, or any other thing that can cause pain.  Heart ache and break gives the body a lot of energy and stress to deal with- what better way then to incorporate yoga.  Asana that are great at mending the heart are heart-openers where the heart is up the the heavens and the shoulders are back.  Sometimes it is too much for a newly broken heart to jump right into this kind of asana.  If this is the case back bends are also great heart openers that do not place to much vulnerability on the heart alone.  Create positive mantra for yourself when you are feeling pain.  One I like is "This is the feeling of my heart healing."  Forward bends are great for calming and looking into the self.  One of the most important and healing aspects of yoga is the breath- so don't forget to breathe!!!
"Taking a step on the journey towards self-realization is incredibly empowering.  The gifts we get as a result of heartbreak are far greater than the love that was lost.  It is truly a time of reclaiming the greatest union of your life.  Therefore, incorporating yoga will bring more consciousness to this process- if you allow it." - Mandy Ingber
