In this workshop we’ll explore the deeper practice of Yin Yoga, where poses are held passively for several minutes to target the connective tissues of the body. Yin Yoga restores the natural joint mobility and opens up the body’s meridian system to enhance the body’s energetic flow.

Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to the more dynamic and invigorating yoga styles that are predominant today.

In this workshop, you will experience:
• Yin poses to activate the energy flowing through the body in invisible pathways called meridians, by working the deep tissues. The strength and flow of the meridian system is essential for the harmonious balance in our organ health.

• An acupuncture treatment during the final segment/ savasana portion of the workshop to help strengthen your immune system and maximize the benefit of the Yin practice.  Acupuncture induces a therapeutic effect on the body by unblocking energy throughout the meridians to restore internal balance.  By releasing stress-reducing hormones and lowering the heart rate and blood pressure, acupuncture will mimic the effects of transcendental meditation, further deepening your relaxation

• Aromatherapy oils to create a number of positive effects from calming and sedating to stimulating and energizing.

This Yin Yoga and Acupuncture Workshop is the soothing balm to help us balance our stress-filled, over-scheduled lives. Come join us!
