WINTER AcuYin Bliss for Bladder and Kidney Meridians
Location: Radiance Yoga in Old Town Alexandria
Date: Friday, February 8, 2019
Time: 7:00pm-9:00pm
Cost: $60
AcuYin Bliss for the Kidney and Bladder Meridians is a two-hour workshop, which includes sixty minutes of a focused Yin Yoga practice followed by a healing ear acupuncture treatment received during savasana. The spirit of the Kidney is associated with courage, wisdom, aligned will and instinctual power. Signs of imbalance can include fear, depression, general forgetfulness, lack of drive or initiative, sleep disturbances and inability to stay focused on goals.
Yin yoga is a practice where one holds asanas or shapes for anywhere between three to five minutes working into the deep connective tissues of the body. This practice works with the Meridian energy lines of the body by unlocking the fascia. Yin yoga increases mobility and flexibility in the joints and in the connective tissue of the body. Physically this practice will open up the inner hips and thighs, hamstrings and mid thoracic and lower back. 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.
