Upcoming Workshops and Events
LATE SUMMER AcuYin Bliss for Stomach and Spleen Meridians
Location: Radiance Yoga in Old Town Alexandria
Date: Friday, August 24, 2018
Time: 7:00pm-9:00pm
Cost: $60
AcuYin Bliss for the Stomach (ST) and Spleen (SP) Meridians is a two-hour workshop, which includes 60 minutes of a focused Yin Yoga practice followed by a balancing (optional) ear acupuncture treatment received during a 50 minute Savasana. The spirit of the Spleen, which is most active in the late summer is responsible for feeling at home within ourselves. Intention, cultivation of true purpose and clarity of thought are all characteristics of the SP/ST meridians. When out of balance obsessive thoughts and inflexibility can pervade the mind.
Yin Yoga is a practice where one holds asanas or poses for anywhere between three to five minutes working into the deep connective tissues of the body increasing mobility and flexibility in the joints. This practice works with the Meridian energy lines of the body by unlocking the fascia. Physically this workshop will focus on opening the inner thighs, quadriceps and front lines of the body.
Ear Acupuncture has a long history of use in China and is a complete medical system in Chinese Medicine. It was mentioned in the most famous of ancient Chinese medical textbooks, “The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.” In modern times, auricular therapy has been shown to stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's own feel-good chemicals. Your savasana will include one or two acupuncture needles in each ear. These auricular points help to alleviate stress and anxiety while aiding to balance one’s energy. Please be sure to eat prior to our class. Class size is limited. Register early to guarantee a spot.
Participant Testimonial: "This workshop was amazing, and so different. Please consider making this a regular event! It gave me the best sleep I've had in ages." "The combination of Yoga plus Acupuncture was so wonderful. It allowed me an opportunity to get a flavor of Acupuncture and added to the relaxation component. Jodi is such a talented teacher and love her classes!"
Patients who are pregnant, have a pacemaker or heart condition, have a seizure disorder, or those with a bleeding disorder or taking blood thinners should discuss this with me before proceeding with acupuncture. I am a board certified licensed acupuncturist in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C.
FALL AcuYin Bliss for Lung and Large Intestine Meridians

AcuYin Bliss for the Lung (LU) and Large Intestine (LI) Meridians is a two-hour workshop, which includes 60 minutes of a focused Yin Yoga practice followed by a balancing (optional) ear acupuncture treatment received during a 50 minute Savasana. The spirit of the Lung, which is most active in the Fall is responsible for animal wit, embodied knowing and sensation. It is closely related to the Autonomic Nervous System, the sensory receptors – especially the primitive touch responses of the skin and the interior sense receptors of the visceral organs. Emotional and physical symptoms of an imbalance include stress related skin problems, chronic tension and pain, clouded mind, asthma and obsessions, depression and anxiety.
