Breathwork & Bodywork for Fall
As we welcome the season of fall, the season of the exhale, embrace the release of fall with breathwork, meditation, and gentle bodywork.
In Classical Chinese Medicine and Yin Yoga, Fall coincides with the element of Metal–representing refinement and letting go. This season is when our yin (receptive) increases and chi turns inward, channeling the fire's energy (summer's energy) into a process of harvest and release. The metal element gives us our ability to discern what serves us and provides our capacity for graceful release. When imbalanced, however, feelings of grief, rigidity, and difficulty letting go may arise.
Through gentle bodywork, meditation and breathing techniques, this class will work to channel, embrace, and bring balance to these tender emotions (that we sometimes want to avoid or hold too tightly). Rather than resisting the natural flow of release in and around us, we will practice welcoming the inward quality of fall with acupressure points, cleansing exhales, and supportive poses to allow your most surrendered self in this season.

All to unravel into the possibility of the unknown.

Community Acupuncture & Gentle Breathwork for Spring
The one hour will give space for the six recipients to receive and arrive in the new season of spring, the season of the inhale.
As the Nei Jing shares, "The three months of Spring, they denote breaking open the old to create the new."
The combination of the slow breathing techniques and acupuncture will focus on the themes of spring - expansion and flourishing to restore overall well-being. The acupuncture treatment will focus on the liver and gallbladder meridians, those associated with Spring in Chinese medicine, while the breathwork flow will include slow inhales followed by soft inhale holds and even meandering exhales to allow for the acupuncture to take.
Are you ready to flourish and thrive this Spring in a slow, mindful way? Let this hour help you and your body remember to relax this Spring.

Breathwork & Bodywork for Spring
As we welcome the season of spring, also known as the season of the inhale, embrace the fullness and bursting energy of the spring with breathwork, meditation, and gentle bodywork.
In Classical Chinese Medicine and Yin Yoga, Spring coincides with the element of Wood–representing the basis for life. This season is when our yang (active) increases and chi is high, channeling the water’s energy (winter’s energy) into a structured flow.The wood element gives us our will to survive and provides our reservoir for energy. When imbalanced, however, feelings of timidity, inflexibility, and anger may arise.
Through gentle bodywork, meditation and breathing techniques, this class will work to channel, embrace, and bring balance to these stubborn emotions (that we sometimes want to avoid or bottle up). Rather than resisting the flow of yang in and around us, we will practice welcoming the upward quality of spring with acupressure points, invigorating inhales, and supportive poses to allow your most flexible self in this season.

Welcoming Winter: Breathwork & Bodywork for the Season of the Exhale Hold
Join us for a nurturing class to witness and embrace winter, allowing you to surrender with more ease into what is unfolding in your life. Kristin and Sarah have integrated the benefits of relaxing breathwork and meditation with gentle bodywork to encourage the mind and body to fully relax and to invite in the calm and peace that winter represents.
In Classical Chinese Medicine and Yin Yoga, the winter season coincides with the element water, representing the basis for life. In winter, our yang (active) declines, yielding to the growth strength of yin (rest). The water element gives us our will to survive and provides our reservoir for energy. When imbalanced, however, feelings of fear and instability may arise.
Through gentle bodywork, meditation and breathing techniques, this class will work to process and let go of these emotions using the themes of the winter season – the water element acupressure points, yin, and the exhale hold. Rather than resisting change and uncertainty, we will practice yielding to the path of least resistance and to the downward quality of winter.
Come prepared to slow down, connect, and welcome the soothing energy of this serene season before we find ourselves in spring. All levels are welcome!
