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 WINTER 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 WINTER ARE KIDNEY & BLADDER.

This season is governed by the Water element. These meridians, which are pathways for energy flow in the body, are particularly important during winter due to the season's emphasis on rest, conservation, and storage of energy. The Kidney meridian, in particular, is considered vital for maintaining the body's vitality and storing the "pre-congenital qi" or life energy. 

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.
