Acupuncture & Yoga Nidra
with Rachael + Sasha
Friday, January 24 @6p
75 minutes | $55
Limited Space Available - 10 Participants only.
Winter is the Season of Yin: slowing down, resting, and restoration. In traditional Chinese medicine, winter is also the season of the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for growth, development, fertility and considered the root of our energy. Acupuncture can help strengthen and balance the kidneys.
Yoga Nidra is the antidote to over-stimulation:
the complete surrender of mind and body into rest.
Through combining these experiences, Sasha will cultivate a space of deep rest, while Rachael places acupuncture needles along the kidney meridian points. While allowing the acupuncture 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.
