Open the Heart to Rise Higher | Advanced Anahata Awakening Yoga Class

This advanced Anahata Awakening yoga class opens the heart, deepens awareness, activates free will, and guides you through a powerful heart-centered practice designed for yogis ready for an inner shift.

In this 90-minute advanced yoga practice, we move beyond physical heart-opening and into the deeper space where devotion, awareness, and clarity meet.

You’ll explore a steady combination of breathwork, multi-style movement, and backbends such as wheel variations, king pigeon, and pincha into scorpion (see cards for tutorials)—always through the heart, never through force.

This class is a continuation of the Anahata lecture and beginner practice, bringing the ideas of unconditional love, free will, and higher awareness into the body.

It’s not about pushing limits—it’s about listening, aligning, and letting the heart guide the way.
If you’re working through the full Chakra Journey or returning to your mat for deeper inner work, this class meets you exactly where you are.
