This is an older MerryBody class. For higher quality sound and video select a newer class. This Yoga inspired MerryBody class allows you to tune into your heart and awaken your Anahata Chakra (or your heart chakra!). This is located, you guessed it, at the centre of your chest. This Chakra invites compassion, love, kindness and empathy. We encourage you to see a bright green light beaming out of your heart space during this flow. Feel the chest stretches crack open your heart, feeling light, feeling free, feeling love-filled! MUDRA: we start our practice with the Anjali mudra (energy seal), prayer in front of the heart space. A symbol of unity, of balance, of coming together. 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 Yam to awaken our practice, say it like YUUUUUUU-MMMM. This vibration is directly linked to the heart Chakra, really feel the vibration within the heart 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.
