California Mid-State Fair Series PART II: Yoga Movement for the Fair -THROAT CHAKRA

Part II of  THROAT CHAKRA: Asana

Last week, we talked about this energy center being all about communication and connection.

We also provided an asana suggestion, but here's another for you because communication and connection are so important!

Bhujangasana: "Cobra Pose"

See video below:

Make sure to keep your gaze directly in front of you.  There's no need to overstretch the neck/throat here.  In this posture, the throat chakra is already opening up!

Opportunities for Communicating and Connecting

on the LAST DAY of the Mid-State Fair Today

Do you have any good stories from your fair experiences this year?

 Why not work on this throat chakra by telling someone at the fair?

We dare you.  Tell someone your good fair story today.

Another good throat chakra exercise would be cheering people on!

At 6pm there is the Watermelon Eating Contest

at the Headliner Stage

The big Monster Truck show is happening at the same time.

Try using that voice of yours at the Island Stage in the Quad

where you can sing Karaoke at 9pm!

California Mid-State Fair Series: Chakra Wisdom. DAY 5 - THROAT CHAKRA

(A continuation of our blog series on Chakra Wisdom during the Mid-State Fair, with associated yoga postures -asana).

Salamba Sarvangasana

Whether you regularly incorporate Shoulder Stand into your practice or not, use the preparation as part of toning your Throat Chakra. I use blankets to support my shoulders and encourage more space for breathing. As you prepare for the pose keep the neck shoulders and upper back agile. Be breath conscious while maintaining the pose.

DAY 5 - THROAT CHAKRA

- You'll feel good in Denim and Blues.- 

This energy center is located in the throat and is all about communication and connection.  By Sunday your voice may be tired from the cheering, the laughing, and all the connecting you've been doing.  Add a little restoration into your morning routine and keep it comfy today.  You'll want to ensure you have energy to continue connecting and communicating lots at the fair!  GERANIUM oil has a beautiful scent that eases nervous tension, and general tensions around the throat.  This popular scent can be found in many products - check what you already have around your home!  BLUE LACE AGATE is a great stone for supporting the Throat Chakra.   This stone calms nerves, just like the geranium scent, and it also helps to soothe an overactive or overly stimulated mind!
When you're feeling calm it's so much easier to communicate, listen, and connect.

At 8pm KEVIN GRAYBILL will be serenading the Chill Zone.

His vibe is very "chill" - perfect way to close out a Sunday.
