Workshop Description: Are you feeling stressed and overworked? Are you needing to connect to your inner calm? This gentle and rejuvenating two hour workshop combines the incredible healing powers of restorative yoga and acupuncture. You will feel calm, refreshed and ready to head into Spring! Restorative yoga is a very gentle, completely passive practice where deep relaxation is the ultimate goal. During deep relaxation, the body is able to heal by releasing stress-relieving hormones and can mend physical and emotional ailments. Acupuncture has been practiced for over two thousand years and is currently recognized around the world as a safe and effective healing modality. Acupuncture helps to open up areas in the body that are stuck so that the energy of the body can flow with ease. When energy flows freely throughout your body, true healing is possible. Combining restorative yoga with acupuncture is pure bliss!
Each participant will have a brief check-in with Daniela so that we get to know your needs and preferences with acupuncture. As Liz begins the restorative yoga practice, Daniela will be using her gentle acupuncture technique to place 1-2 needles to help you deeply relax into the pose. You can also participate in this workshop even if you choose not to have acupuncture. This workshop is perfect for any level, whether or not you have ever practiced restorative yoga or acupuncture.
