Both yin yoga and acupuncture are based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine which work with the meridians of the body to establish a heightened flow of energy and deeply relaxed state. In this session, we will focus on the spring season, a time to reach outward, develop deeper roots and remain flexible in the wind.

In the body that means paying attention to our spine, limbs, and joints, renew our vital energy reserves, and explore the meridians of the liver/gallbladder.

As we shift into Spring, it is the perfect time to do something for yourself to work on blockages, spring clean and take time to do something for your wellbeing. Both yoga and acupuncture can help. In traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is associated with the element of wood. This element reminds us to invite in kindness, forgiveness, patience and flexibility whilst releasing anger, frustration, and stress.

We will begin with a brief introduction to the basic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Yin Yoga, followed by yin yoga.

Rose will guide you through a series of yin yoga poses for the liver meridian. Your body will be gently supported by props to find the best posture for you. The poses will be held for up to 5 minutes and each pose is designed to gently open your meridians prior to receiving the acupuncture. At this stage, your body can reach a deeper state of relaxation and absorb the benefits to the fullest.

Our yin yoga practice will close with an extended savasana. While your body comfortably rests on bolsters and blankets and you listen to the healing sounds of the crystal bowls, Dr Nathan will offer acupuncture to specific points to stimulate the meridians of your body. Allow your body to drop deeply into a blissful state as you let go and unwind.
