Yin and Pin: Spring to Summer
Saturday November 28th, 2:00-4:15pm
As the seasons shift from the vibrancy of Spring into the heat of Summer, we move from emerging Yang into its fullest expression. Join us for Yin & Pin, a deeply nourishing experience combining the meditative stillness of Yin Yoga with the energetic refinement of Acupuncture.
Acupuncture works on a subtle level, stimulating points along the body’s meridian system to clear blockages, restore balance, and encourage the free movement of qi, or life force. These tiny needles are placed with care and intention, helping you settle even more deeply into your body’s natural healing state.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this time of year signifies a movement from the element of Wood into Fire. At this time, Yang energy is at its highest, with long, warm days. We can support ourselves by balancing rising Yang with periods of rest, and embracing joy and connection while avoiding overstimulation.
Guided by Yoga Teacher Ellie Johns and Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner Kate O’Leary, this immersive 2 hour and 15 minute practice weaves together the stillness of Yin yoga, meditative sound, and acupuncture to support your seasonal transition.
Kate will move through the space offering acupuncture during practice and throughout an extended savasana, while Ellie will hold a calming space with her grounding presence and soothing voice.
Yin and Reiki: Asteya (Non-Stealing)
Friday December 4th - 6:30 - 8:45pm
What is Yin?
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga incorporating principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine; a true practice in unwinding and letting go. Yin Yoga is a passive practice in that you work to relax all of the muscles and release the ligaments, tendons and fascia, which will result in a longer resting length of your connective tissue. In this class, we will move through some slow, long-held, floor-based postures, using bolsters, blankets, and blocks to ensure you feel supported and relaxed.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy healing treatment that works holistically on the whole body, mind and spirit. Reiki is a treatment where natural healing vibrations are transmitted through the hands of a Reiki practitioner to the body of the recipient. The purpose of a Reiki treatment is to relieve stress and pain, induce relaxation, release emotional blockages, accelerate natural healing, balance subtle bodies energies and support other medical modalities including traditional therapies. Emma will channel the Reiki energy through her hands and direct it to students where she feels it is needed.
What is Asteya?
Asteya, or non-stealing, is the third of the five yamas, or yogic ethical observances. Building from a foundation of non-harm and truth, we then move to non-stealing as our next step; this yama is about not taking what is not ours to take, beyond just possessions; this observance includes time, resources and energetic space. Asteya invites us to adopt an honest receivership.
Reiki Practitioner Emma Sinclair and yoga teacher Pippa Rambaut-Turner will be joining forces to bring you this incredibly relaxing and healing Yin and Reiki experience.
Indulge in this 2 Hour 15 Minute Yin and Reiki class where you will be guided by the relaxing sounds of Pippa's soothing voice, with long-held yin poses and meditative sounds. Emma will be spending time with each person in the room, providing reiki healing energy throughout the class.
