Learn the art of skillful touch to support the body’s natural healing ability. Stretching and compressing the body’s meridians—pathways for life-force energy—in supported yoga postures releases trapped energy and relieves pain and chronic tension in the joints by rehabilitating connective tissue-countering the stiffening effects of aging, injuries, and neglect. The resulting increase in blood flow nourishes internal organs, glands, muscles, and nerves.
This workshop will give you the confidence and skills you need to
- Offer a 1.5-hour full-body session in prone, supine, and side positions
- Use palms, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet as healing instruments
- Palpate meridians and acu-points to relieve common ailments
- Adapt your methods for a variety of body types, ages, and conditions.
Using techniques from energy medicine, Thai massage, Yin Yoga, and meditation, you will learn effortless acupressure, passive stretching, twisting, range-of-motion joint decompression, energy balancing, breathing, and more.
