This workshop combines the gentle, meditative practice of Yin Yoga with the therapeutic benefits of Acupuncture. Ali Allen, RYT-200 and R. Ac., participants will delve into a 90-minute session exploring the synergy between Yin Yoga and Acupuncture.
Throughout the workshop, Ali will guide attendees through a rejuvenating Yin Yoga class, focusing on poses that specifically target the meridians that will be opened with Acupuncture. This approach facilitates the flow of energy throughout the body, enhancing the therapeutic effects of the practice. Following the yoga session, Ali will administer Acupuncture needles to support vital organs, augmenting the healing potential of the session.
Afterward, participants will indulge in a restorative period, allowing the body to assimilate the benefits of both Yin Yoga and Acupuncture. This restorative phase will culminate in a long savasana, with Acupuncture applied to the hands and feet, fostering deep relaxation and restoring equilibrium.
Benefits of Integrating Yin Yoga with Acupuncture:
- Detoxification
- Stress reduction
- Improved mobility in ligaments, joints, and connective tissues
- Reduced inflammation and pain
- Stimulation of the lymphatic system
- Enhanced immunity
- Better digestion
- Increased bone density
Participants can anticipate leaving the workshop with a profound sense of ease, balance, and vitality.
The workshop is non-heated. Space is VERY limited.
