Heart Chakra Yoga: The Ultimate Sequence to Open Yourself to Love

In this guided heart chakra yoga sequence, we’ll release tension around the shoulders and chest while finding softness in your heart.

We spend so much time in our heads—overanalyzing texts, planning our next move, replaying awkward moments from five years ago. But what if we shifted our focus lower, to the true source of peace and connection? The heart chakra, also known as Anahata, is the energetic center of love, compassion, and emotional balance. And when it’s blocked? Cue the self-doubt, fear, and feeling like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—literally.

This heart chakra yoga sequence is designed to help you release tension, open your chest and shoulders, and tap into the kind of self-love that feels less like an Instagram affirmation and more like a deep, embodied truth. Roll out your mat, breathe deep, and let’s open up.

Heart Chakra Healing

In yoga and energy work, the heart chakra is the bridge between the lower, earthly chakras and the higher, more spiritual ones. Think of it as the meeting point between your grounded reality and your limitless potential. When balanced, you feel open, connected, and at ease. When blocked, you might experience tightness in your chest, trouble trusting others, or an inability to give (or receive) love freely.

Luckily, movement is one of the best ways to shake off stagnant energy and reconnect with this space. Heart-opening yoga can help you soften the armor around your heart, let go of tension, and create space for vulnerability and joy.

Heart Chakra Yoga Poses

If you’re ready to shift out of overthinking and into feeling, this guided heart chakra yoga sequence will take you there. In this 60-minute vinyasa flow, we’ll move through poses that release tension in your shoulders and chest while helping you cultivate softness and self-compassion.
