The Spring Blooming Sequence was written by Chiara Travisi and illustrated by Svenja Karstens.

This sequence is inspired by the blooming of nature which flourishes and awakens after winter. It has the focus on the heart region, which is an area that tends to collapse and close in our daily life – while sitting for studying, working, thinking, etc. – but which has the potential to flourish if correctly stimulated.

The heart opening can ameliorate the health condition of our heart, by reducing the risk factors normally associated with heart and cardiovascular disease creating the condition for a positive change in life-style.

It can ameliorate the psychological profile of practitioners, improving posture, the balance of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and our attitude and capacity to manage stressful conditions.

It can ameliorate our posture, creating more space and freedom in the heart chest region, thus keeping the heart organ in a supported, spacious and not tensed condition

It can contribute to sustaining our blood circulation for the whole embodiment which is the main aims of our heart.

All my illustrations are handmade with love to bring joy and inspire your yoga practice. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings.
