For everyone*
Feel relaxed, light and free. Yin Yoga and Thai-Shiatsu Bodywork (TSB) promote healing and wholeness by increasing freedom of movement, joint mobility and flexibility. They relieve pain and chronic tension in the hips, thighs, pelvis, spine, neck and shoulders by stretching and rehabilitating connective tissue—countering the shortening and stiffening effects of aging, injuries and lifestyle.
Rooted in Yoga Therapy, Energy Medicine and Meridian Theory, these healing arts offer insights into unifying chakras and meridians into one energy-conducting system. Yin Yoga and TSB work directly on fascia, which literally fastens the body together at every level. New evidence shows fascia as the structural and energetic fabric of life—a living crystalline web through which meridians weave their vital life force (Prana or Qi) as healing bioelectric signals.
While Yang Yoga strengths muscles through movement, repetition and rhythm, Yin Yoga offers meditative, relaxed and supported floor poses, held for several minutes, to preserve and enhance the range of motion in the joints.
TSB offers similar results through passive stretching techniques that look like assisted-yoga postures. You'll enjoy learning to give and receive a simple, powerful set of massage methods, including acupressure, twisting, range-of-motion joint mobilization, energy balancing, breathing, and gentle rocking. In this workshop you will:
· Enjoy Yin Yoga postures you can do on your own to enhance health
· Learn how meridians connect with anatomy and physiology
· Offer skillful touch with a caring presence.
· Relax your body and ready your mind for meditation
· Discover freedom, harmony and well-being.
* For all ages interested in health and healing therapies, yoga, massage, movement, dance, healing & martial arts, holistic, helping professions, & spiritual community. All bodywork is done fully clothed on comfortable floor mats. For more information, please visit www.sacredhealingarts.net.
