Part four of our seven-part series on chakras, this sequence will focus on the heart chakra (anahata). This chakra is located at the heart center and associated with the color green. The associated body parts include the knees, elbows, and pelvic girdle. This chakra has to do with your ability to give and receive love and feeling kindness and compassion for yourself and others.

Today, your asana practice will focus on heart openers, both active and passive.
