About This Class

This 30-minute dynamic flow centers entirely on Anahata, the heart chakra, framed around the theme of unconditional love — for self and others. The class opens lying down with hands on the heart and a sustained Viloma-style pranayama (Antara Kumbhaka pauses) designed to consciously release emotional blocks and invite love in. The instructor guides students through a grounded physical sequence of bridge pose (Setu Bandha), downward facing dog, standing backbends with interlaced hands, cat-cow, Bird-Dog balancing, half bow (Ardha Dhanurasana), full bow (Dhanurasana), and wheel (Urdhva Dhanurasana) — all framed as tools for physically and energetically opening the chest. A brief visit to the fifth chakra (Vishuddha) arrives via Fish Pose (Matsyasana) as a finishing heart-and-throat opener. The class closes with chanted Oms, a short meditation on compassion, and an invitation to Savasana. The tone is deeply introspective and emotionally intentional, with every physical shape in service of freeing the heart space.

    I physically and spiritually feel my heart space opening up during this class (chakra 4 is a tough one for me). I love Hilaire’s chakra classes so much. The class definitely focuses on backbends and working in the heart/shoulder/back space, so don’t expect a full-body workout class, but expect to be transformed by it.

    This should probably be categorized as “approachable” rather than “dynamic.”
