90 Minute Practice Compassionately Balancing Kapha Dosha through Lighting the Fire. Heart opening poses, backbends and twits all increase circulation through the upper chest, the seat of the kapha dosha in the body. These types of poses lift our mood, stimulate mind and body and allow our inner luminosity to shine forth, clearing off the dust and debris. While this is a warming practice, it is suitable for all levels, including beginners and the emphasis is on stimulating while maintaining a strong stable connection to the earth and cultivating safety with each expansive pose.
