Seasonal Sanctuary: Fall Transition Qigong & Yin Yoga 
 
Join us for a transformative 90 minute workshop designed to harmonize your energy with the changing seasons. Rooted in the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this immersive experience blends Tai Chi/Qigong, Acupressure massage, Yoga Nidra and food as medicine to cultivate balance, vitality, and inner peace.
In TCM Fall is associated with the Metal element, corresponding to the Lung and Large Intestine organ pair. This season is characterized by dryness, contraction and moving inward and the theme of "letting go", both physically and emotionally. We will learn simple ways to support the body, mind and heart through these changes.
Seasonal Tea and snacks will be offered.
 
*Dynamic Qigong: Gentle, flowing movements to clear stagnant energy and cultivate a sense of effortless power.
*Yin Yoga: Long-held floor postures targeting the connective tissues, ligaments, and fascia to increase flexibility and internal awareness.
*Self-Massage & Acupressure: Guided techniques to stimulate specific fall.
*Guided Relaxation: A concluding deep rest period to integrate the work and leave you feeling refreshed and centered.
