This session, dedicated to the air element, develops shoulder mobility and awareness to reduce feelings of chest tightness, tension in the shoulder girdle and a blocked diaphragm, and also to increase energy. For this superb heart-opening practice that brings more self-confidence, do not hesitate to have your students use the props.
The shoulder girdle, which is almost directly resting on the thorax, must have strong muscles all around it in order to keep it stable and correctly follow all the elements of the body involved in an arm, shoulder or upper back movement, as these are all connected. During these movements, strong muscles prevent muscle contractions that create imbalances in this group.
Working on the shoulders and shoulder girdle opens the heart chakra , Anahata, which symbolically connects Earth and Heaven. With Anahata well balanced, the subject will be more open to others and will develop their self-confidence and confidence in others. Forgiveness, gratitude and giving are attitudes that also open the heart chakra.
