Yins & Pins : EARTH

Revitalize your body, mind and spirit with our yin yoga/acupuncture series aligned with the 5 elements of traditional Chinese medicine, Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, and Wood. This is a five-part series that will take place throughout the year.  Each season, the class will explore the correlating element of traditional Chinese medicine, and you will learn how these seasonal changes relate to the fluctuations we experience within our bodies and minds.

In a world that is ever shifting, may you use this practice to find stillness.

Led by our very own Kat Dunbar, acupuncturist and chinese medicine expert, and Morgan Adams, owner of Haven Healing Collective.  Class will offer 90 minutes of movement focusing on opening the deepest levels of the body’s connective tissues, allowing for deep relaxation and a softening of the muscles. Movement will be followed by savasana, or resting period, where each student will receive a mini acupuncture treatment that will balance the energies of the body, and facilitate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

In October we will explore the Earth Element. When we are connected to the Earth, there is a palpable sense of groundedness, a connection to the center of ourselves and the center of all things– a coming home.  We call her “Mother Earth” for she is continuously nourishing and supporting us.  She is the foundation of our physical well-being and our direct connection to the universe.
