Hello! I’m Cha Wilde. In this yoga session, and we’re focusing on the throat chakra. We’ll move through a series of poses and breathing exercises designed to open, stretch, and stimulate the throat area. Our practice will include child’s pose, cat-cow, downward dog, neck stretches, humming, chanting, and lion’s breath. The goal is to promote balanced energy flow, enhance self-expression, and deepen our listening through movement and sound vibrations. Pay attention to the sensations in your throat and strive for a balance between speaking and receiving. We’ll finish with shoulder stand, plow pose, and fish pose to explore the effects of compressing and releasing the throat chakra. 00:00:19 -- Introduction and Child’s Pose Welcome, everyone. I’m Cha Wilde, and today we’ll focus on the throat chakra. We’ll start in child’s pose. Feel the sensations in your throat, neck, and spine as you settle into this pose. Adjust as needed, knowing that our physical movements deeply impact our energy flow. 00:03:25 -- Melting Heart Pose and Cat-Cow Let’s move into melting heart pose to stretch the neck and throat further. Notice how deep listening supports a balanced throat chakra. Next, we’ll transition into cat-cow pose, using breath and movement to engage your entire body. 00:08:11 -- Downward Dog and Neck Stretches In downward dog, let gravity help release tension in your neck and throat. I’ll guide you through neck stretches, applying pressure from different angles to ease tension and encourage energy flow. 00:14:52 -- Humming and Chanting Now, we’ll explore humming and chanting exercises to stimulate the throat chakra with sound vibrations. This practice connects with the throat chakra’s role in self-expression and the element of ether. 00:19:20 -- Lion’s Breath Let’s practice lion’s breath, encouraging you to let go of inhibitions and make expressive sounds. This cathartic exercise connects to primal expression and helps release blockages. 00:26:15 -- Shoulder Stand, Plow Pose, and Fish Pose We’ll move into shoulder stand and plow pose, compressing the throat chakra to build energy. Transitioning to fish pose will open the throat chakra, allowing the energy to flow freely. Observe the shift in energy as we release and open the throat chakra. 00:29:59 -- Closing and Reflection We’ll conclude with shavasana, where you can relax and reflect. Listen to your body’s messages and trust your intuition about communication, speaking from a place of deep listening and balance. ------------------------ ✨ Welcome to Cha Wilde’s YouTube channel dedicated to healing.
