It’s my belief that when I think of the pain that I’m experiencing and the thought of doing Restorative Yoga, my head would say, “You have to be crazy to stay still, let’s get busy. When my heart is heavy with grief, I turn to this Restorative Yoga sequence to quiet my thoughts, to slow life down and to feel what’s happening in my heart in order to heal. However, to cope and sit with the feelings of a broken heart, backbends can be overwhelming and intense, sending some students into emotional turmoil like crying for days. These can feel really great for the unbroken heart. An alternate name we give to backbends is heart openers. In yoga, we often talk about the heart, our center of compassion, and use teaching language that encourages our hearts to open such as lifting and spreading the heart up towards the ceiling in Ustrasana (Camel Pose). How Restorative Yoga can Open Your Grieving Heart Maybe the metaphorical heart never fits back together like it used to but it certainly heals and grows stronger with each challenge it faces. Gone untreated, our hearts can become more cynical and we lose a little piece of ourselves.

Our heart is what helps us to be compassionate, teaches us how to trust and transforms us into positive, loving beings.īut sometimes that big, open heart becomes vulnerable and breaks-whether it is from the loss of a loved one to a breakup to a catastrophic loss of life from a senseless act of violence. Is your heart in need of some restorative yoga? Every heart needs to heal at one point or another throughout the course of a lifetime.
