Acu-Yoga Basic Instruction

In this basic introduction to Acu-Yoga students will learn a basic overview of Chinese Medicine's 5 Element Theory and its corresponding 8 regulatory channels which function to harmonize all the internal organs and bodily functions.

We will work through a whole-body self-treatment emphasizing a handful yoga asanas that correspond with some of the body's most important acupressure points and common physical and emotional concerns such as sciatica, headache, sore throat, constipation, insecurity, depression, anxiety, self-motivation, and communication.

We will also learn a special meditation for exploring the cause of dis-ease in our own bodies as well as enjoy a deep relaxation at the beginning and end of the workshop to allow an opening of the 8 regulatory channels of acupressure.

What is Reiki?
Reiki (Ray-key) is a Japanese system of energy healing that is used on humans and animals in a variety of settings. Reiki translates into Universal Life Energy. This vital life force energy flows through all living things. 

The practitioner uses a technique of certain hand placements to channel this universal energy where it is needed. Our body naturally wants to heal itself and Reiki aids in this healing on different levels.  Physical, Mental, Emotional, or Spiritual depending on what is needed.  It is always for the higher good and will never cause harm because Reiki is positive energy.
