Pay particular attention to softening and relaxing the eyes which are are associated with these organs. Be sure to spend some time in the upright pigeon to open into the spaciousness of the heart and lungs as well as create space for your digestive organs.Īs you fold forward, try resting your forehead on a pillow or bolster to help quiet the mind and nervous system.

Are you experiencing stiffness in your neck.tender inner legs? Are you having headaches.dry eyes, or other eye issues? Are you getting more frustrated and irritable lately? Yes.then you will deeply benefit from adding some spring poses into your practice to help release the congestion that comes from an an aggravated and congested liver network.

Just like a river that is blocked by a fallen tree branch from a Winter storm, once the branch is removed, the river runs smoothly. My prana/chi and blood flow is congested in these tight places and I know that if I can just open them up, the pathway to spaciousness in my body and mind will be crystal clear.
