Spring AcuYin Bliss for the Liver and Gallbladder
Location: Radiance Yoga in Old Town Alexandria
Date: March 20, 2020
Time: 7:00pm-9:00pm
Cost: $70
AcuYin Bliss for the Liver and Gallbladder 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 long restorative savasana.
The spirit of the Liver is responsible for vision, imagination, direction, decision-making and benevolence. Emotional and physical symptoms of an imbalance in these meridians include anger, frustration, impatience, moodiness, difficulty making decisions, indigestion, abdominal bloating, difficulty losing body fat, dizziness, blurred vision, pain along the IT band, headaches and depression.
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 the inner thighs and inner and outer hips.
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. Past workshops have sold out.
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 Dr. Jodi before proceeding with acupuncture. Dr. Jodi is a board certified licensed doctor of acupuncture in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
