Today's tip is the latest YogaTar video, heartwarming yoga for posture, energy, and vocals.
I'm excited to share a brand new YogaTar video, and it's perfect as we continue to celebrate
heart month and with Valentine's Day just a heartbeat away.
(01:42):
In this special video, I focus on YogaPoses designed to open up the heart, lungs, chest, and throat.
They're great for improving your posture, relieving stress, and boosting your energy.
And if you're a singer, these poses are especially helpful for enhancing your vocal abilities.
(02:05):
In today's episode, I'll walk you through these heart-opening poses and how they can relax
your chest muscles, support your lung health, and improve your vocal cords.
As always, big shout out this week and thank you to our fellow Gatoris joining us from
Slovakia, Pakistan, Australia, and Mexico.

Thank you!
So let's dive into this new YogaTar video.
You know, the human body to some degree operates on autopilot, the heart, and lungs in particular.
(02:54):
If you think about it, they function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, rain
or shine, no matter what, they're doing their job.
We don't have to think about it, it just happens all the time.
Blood pulsing in and out of the heart, being oxygenated by the lungs, and continuously
(03:17):
distributed throughout the body.
This new video is about showing those organs some love as well as creating a more relaxed
body, better posture, and opening up those vocal cords for singing.
In this YogaTar practice, I guide you through poses targeting the upper front body and throat.
(03:41):
It's a seated practice so you can either sit in a chair or on the floor.
These poses are intended to relax and expand the muscles and tendons.
Plus, you'll notice increased activity in those life-sustaining organs and throughout your
body.
We always begin by settling into our practice with mindful breathing techniques.
(04:05):
Then, I introduce gentle movements for the upper part of the front of your body, heart
center and upper chest.
Hey everyone, be a part of our vibrant guitar tips community and join us for a fun and exciting
jam session.
Whether you're a seasoned musician or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity
(04:31):
to connect, play and create music together.

So don't miss out on this fantastic event, become a member today, the link is in the show
notes.
And let's make some music magic happen.
(04:51):
I also introduce the option to use a towel or you can use a belt or strap to help increase
your stretches and improve your posture.
As the video continues, I guide you through a powerful pose that can wonderfully prepare
your throat and vocal cords for singing.
All of these poses are intended for everyone to be able to access and achieve.
(05:17):
That's why I give you cues and information to safely guide you in and out of each pose.
I also include options to help you listen to your body while enjoying the benefits of your
practice.
So get ready to show yourself some TLC with this new Yo Guitar Video.
(05:39):

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
