Featured Pose: Anahatasana with Prayer-Hands

This month as we focus on gratitude at OWY we are featuring a pose that represents the attitude of gratitude in a very deep way - Anahatasana with Prayer-Hands.  These lovely autumn shots of Mallory in the woods show her working into progressively deeper variations of Anahatasana.  

1.  Basic Variation - Forehead to the mat

2. Chin and Chest to the mat to deepen the heart-opening effect.

3. Press into the fingers and lift the hands to deepen the shoulder stretch.

4. Hands in prayer behind the heart center.

5. Deepen the shoulder stretch with a booster.

6. Further deepen the shoulder stretch with blocks.
