The Lover

As men, exploring the heart can be often challenging as the realm of emotions is uncomfortable territory for us. The Lover archetype invites us to build a new relationship to the heart through sensitivity, passion, listening and giving. When abused, the power of the Lover uses love for manipulation and loses direction and power by being swept away in the world of emotions rather then staying direct. The poses of this sequence focus on back bends, chest and shoulder openers to cultivate a feeling of love and sensitivity that brings out a natural generosity without expectations of anything in return.
