YIN YOGA IS THE FUSION OF TRADITIONAL YOGA POSTURES WITH THE ACUPUNCTURE CHANNELS UNDERSTOOD IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE.
OVER 2 HOURS WE WILL BEGIN WITH A AUTUMN YIN YOGA SEQUENCE FEELING INTO THE PHYSICAL BODY, ACCOMPANIED WITH ACCUPRESSURE POINTS. FOLLOWED BY A BALANCING ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT BY MELINDA MCDONALD- REGISTERED ACUPUNCTURIST & CHINESE HERBALIST
THE MERIDIAN LINES FOR AUTUMN ARE LUNGS & LARGE INTESTINES.
This season is governed by the Metal element with its qualities of precision, organization, setting limits, and protecting boundaries. From the more carefree days of summer, our days in autumn become more structured as we form routines that take us through our day. Priorities and goals are often reoriented as we prepare for the colder months ahead.
BY COMBINING THE POSTURES TO OPEN THE CHANNELS, WITH ACUPUNCTURE & ACUPRESSURE TO STIMULATE KEY POINTS, YOU CAN EXPECT A DEEPER OPENING OF THE BODY AND RELAXATION OF THE MIND.
