1. Chest opener over two bricks
Take your two bricks and place one at the back edge of your mat on the highest height, then place the second brick two hands distance below the top one, horizontally at the second highest height. Lay the back of your skull on the uppermost brick and the back of your mid back just at the base of your shoulder blades on the second brick. Keep your knees bent and feet on the mat hips width distance apart. Be sure it feels delicious and easeful and do adjust the bricks higher or lower as needed until you feel totally comfortable. Close your eyes and start to deepen your breath. Visualise the breath starting to cleanse and awaken the energetic heart centre. Use the breath to connect to your heart. Notice how you are feeling today? Stay for one minute. Then gently roll off the bricks to one side, move the bricks off the mat and come up to all fours on your hands and your knees.
