This Yoga inspired MerryBody class inspires you to SPEAK YOUR TRUTH and awaken your Vishudda Chakra (throat Chakra). This is located at the centre of your neck, your throat. This Chakra evokes your expression and communication. If it’s blocked, this may mean we’re not speaking up, not speaking our truth, not communicating. This yoga flow includes lots of neck stretches, to awaken and clear the throat Chakra allowing you to speak up and speak your truth. MUDRA: we start our practice with the Granthita mudra (energy seal), this is directly linked to purifying the throat Chakra. What’s a mudra you ask? It’s a way we place the hands, or the body, that seals and redirects the prana (lifeforce/energy) within the body. MANTRA: we chant Ham to awaken our practice, say it like HUUUUUUU-MMMM. This vibration cleanses the throat Chakra, really feel the vibration within the throat when you chant. What’s a mantra you ask? It’s something we chant that creates vibrations within the body. The word mantra in Sanskrit (yoga language) translates to ‘sacred message or text’. They are usually repetitive sounds that can reach deep into the unconscious mind and change/clear aspects of your being and energy.
