Acupuncture & Yoga Nidra
with Rachael + Sasha
Friday, March 14 @6p
90 minutes | $55
Limited Space Available - 10 Participants only.
Yoga Nidra is the antidote to over-stimulation:
the complete surrender of mind and body into rest.
Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practice stimulating specific points on the body along meridian lines to rebalance the flow of energy in the body.
Through combining these experiences, Sasha will create a space of deep rest, while Rachael places acupuncture needles along the liver meridian points. The Liver is the organ for Springtime: Acupuncture will be focused on removing any stagnation in the blood that has accumulated during winter, the Liver will be nourished and encouraged to regenerate Qi (Qi is our "vital life force") Circulation. Nourishing the liver can improve your capacity for planning in life and help you to find and feel a sense of direction.
While allowing the acupuncture needles to remain in place, your Nidra practice will invite deeper restoration and acupressure will be applied through hands-on touch to further enhance your experience.
What can I expect?
After you arrive, we'll begin with a few gentle stretches and qigong movements, and then move into meditation and pranayama to clear the body and mind, preparing for the Nidra journey.
You'll be resting in supported Savasana for the majority of the practice. You'll be welcome to use *bolsters, blankets, eye covers, to help with your Nidra Experience. Dress in lose fitting cozy gear: don't forget socks!
Once settled for Nidra, Rachael will place acupuncture needles. She will be monitoring throughout the practice to help ease your comfort.
*Acupuncture points may include head, ears, feet, ankles, arms, wrists, and hands.*
Sasha & Rachael will apply acupressure (applying gentle pressure on specific points of the body) throughout the experience.
*Our studio provides mats, blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows.
You are welcome to bring your own items of comfort.
