Stand up and bring your feet parallel to each other, directly under your hips. Inhale and bend your knees, sitting back into a chair pose. Shift your weight onto your left leg and cross your right leg on top of your left leg, and hook your right foot around your ankle. Wrap your right arm under your left arm and bring your arms in front of your face. To stay balanced sit down through your hips as much as you lengthen up through your arms. Keep your gaze forward, through your arms. This pose strengthens your peripheral vision. Stay here for three long, deep breaths then try the other side.

When your heart has been broken the last thing you might feel like doing is getting up and moving, but
it can be the best thing for you. The clinical term “stress cardiomyopathy,” known as “broken heart
syndrome,” can cause symptoms that mimic a heart attack. They typically occur after the death of a
loved one, or a big physical strain like surgery, and the triggers are subtle and hard for doctors to
pinpoint. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association has shown how
different “broken heart syndrome” is from other heart conditions. Unlike a heart attack, where heart
cells die, leaving scar tissue behind, with stress cardiomyopathy, the heart cells are temporarily stunned,
but not irreversibly damaged. “This definitely shows, using MRI, that the pathophysiology of this
condition is very different. It clearly separates this from other kinds of heart and muscle disorders,”
says Dr. Ilan S. Wittstein, a cardiologist and assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School
of Medicine in Baltimore.
Yoga brings us back to our center, grounds us. When we are going through times that shake us to our
core, troubling us emotionally, some gentle yoga poses can help us begin to heal. If you have a serious
heart condition, of course, consult your doctor.
When we feel tender emotionally we can actually take advantage of the openness to take a look at
how we feel about our life in general; we can use these hurts to gain some perspective. This perspective
will help us grow and feel stable and get back to our usual happy selves.
THE BROKEN HEART YOGA CURE
The yoga cure for a broken heart is to simply get back on your feet and do some yoga, one breath at a time.
It’s the first step in getting back to feeling like yourself again.
This routine is designed to open the chest (heart area), get your body moving so you can get out of your
head, and release tension, whether physical, emotional, or both, that is stored in your body. Try this routine whenever you have a broken heart. Do it daily until you start to feel like yourself again.

Standing Arm Reach
Stand tall with your feet a few inches apart, parallel to each other. Your arms should be loose, at your sides. Rest your shoulders down, and widen the area across your collarbones. Take a big, deep inhale and lift your arms up straight, as if you are embracing the sky. Drop your tailbone toward the ground and lift your chest up. As you exhale, lower your arms down to your sides. Repeat this twice more.
