Chakra Four Flow
Chakra four is the anahata chakra or the heart chakra. Fiji's' exploration includes many heart-openers, backbends, as well as a journey into what it means to open the heart chakra in your life, to love fully and unconditionally. The color associated with the heart chakra is green and the element is air.

This is a lovely practice but the description is misleading. It is more of an Intermediate 1 than 3 (maybe even Beginner?) and props are needed that are not listed. You will need a block and a bolster for this one! Also, there are very few backbends (just one in the end, really). This heart chakra balancing is done more with breath and compassion rather than backbends as the level/description suggests. I'd like to see the description modified so people can be better prepared with reasonable expectations of this practice. That said, I still highly recommend this one! Fiji is always a gem to work with :)
What a beautiful practice! Exactly what my body and soul needed today, the shoulder and hip openers are wonderful, and so is the heart-opening sentiment. Loving this series, thank you Fiji!
I feel healing starting, realizing on the mat that I have closed the gate and trying now to open it with compassion. Thank you so much, Fiji.
This series is wonderful! It reminds me it is OK if I can't do every pose, that intention is key, and I love the chakra commentary. I am learning and growing. Please check the description on the Yoga Challenges page for Heart Chakra. It lists the colour as blue.
