Come home to yourself and your divine purpose with these 5 tips.

This practice invites you to connect deeply with your fearless heart so that you can manifest your deepest desires and highest potential. Use this practice to release any self-limiting or self-sabotaging behavior, find the courage and strength to connect to your deepest desires. Begin with a powerful fearless heart mudra that will help you to connect to the heart and anchor into full alignment with pure love. Begin to move, jump and shake out any resistance in the body and invigorate your entire being, moving your arms side to side and gently tapping the kidneys to release any excess cortisol (stress hormone) from the adrenals. Clear away what no longer serves you and activate your Prana, your vital life force energy. Move through a standing, hip opening flow, then come back down onto the mat to take fearless heart mudra again, sealing in the practice and coming into alignment with your deepest heart’s desire.
