There is a beautiful quote by Rumi that I feel would fit so well with a yoga class dedicated to opening the heart:
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
What a wonderful pearl of wisdom to instill in students while working on beautiful heart opening poses like: Bhujangasana (Cobra), Ustrasana (Camel) and Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel).
We could all use a lift in our hearts and experience freedom from the thoughts and feelings that weigh us down. A simple adjustment you can do right now is to hug your shoulder blades on your back—instantly you shine a little brighter.
Have a wonderful, heart-lifting weekend!

mmhmm that is hands down one of my favorite Rumi quotes. It just shows us that we really have to just work on ourselves, and then life will fall into place. there is no need to force anything - the universe only presents to us what we are ready for <3
ReplyDeleteAgreed. It's great to have those reminders to just go with the flow.
