Throat Chakra Yoga Poses
The throat chakra, Vishuddha, is associated with honest expression. Physically, its poses work the neck and shoulder girdle — shapes that compress or lengthen the throat area, most famously the shoulderstand family.
These postures reward patience and care: the neck adapts slowly, and props are wisdom rather than weakness here. Build toward the deeper shapes across weeks, not days.
Recording throat poses in DrawHatha fills your Vishuddha canvas — and journaling itself is throat chakra work: saying honestly how practice felt.
