Awakening the Meridians:Spirit of Autumn

Service Description

Join us in this healing journey, inviting the self-reflective nature of Autumn and allowing the free flow of Qi. This workshop introduces a sequence of poses designed to release stagnant energy by stretching and awakening the Chinese Meridian. As you let go of tension in every pose, we will discuss the emotional significance and patterns of each meridian. It is a wonderful moment of deep relaxation and self-observation, using movement and breath for a transformative experience. This workshop will include a short discussion about the energetic influence of the Season (autumn) according to Chinese Medicine, including how to cultivate and optimize Qi (vital energy) and a brief summary of what foods to enjoy and avoid. It will be followed by a guided meditation consisting of a stretching sequence on the mat. Mona is an acupuncturist and bodyworker dedicated to holistic health, practicing here in Knowlton.

This workshop will be in English, and Q&A can be in English and French. Cet atelier sera en anglais, mais les questions peuvent être demandées et repondues en anglais et en français. Participants should be able to sit and lie on the floor as stretches will be on a yoga mat and the floor.
