Yoga & Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine holds very practical tools for navigating the change in seasons.  In each of these workshops, we’ll explore what the change in seasons means for you on both physical and energetic levels. Expect writing prompts, discussion and a yoga practice designed to meet the season. 

Autumn ~ September 27th, 1-3

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autumn is the season of the Metal element, corresponding to the lungs and large intestine, and is focused on dryness, introspection, and letting go.    

In this workshop you can expect: 

  • A Yin yoga practice targeting the lungs and large intestine channels of energy 
  • Pranayama (breathwork) to expand the chest and support lung function 
  • Discussion of dietary choices that correspond with the season 
  • To learn why establishing an early sleep cycle and protecting your neck support this transition to Autumn
