Emotional Anatomy
Embody Expansion & Gratitude
Your body is an emotional map. Let yourself be guided from the (y)inside out and support your own system with simple tools.
Dive into your body from a holistic perspective and learn how to balance yourself. The body can tell us untold stories: can you sense the joy stored in the heart? Or some feeling of grief carried by your lungs? Or do you recognise the tension in your hips when you’re angry? In this workshop you will learn to listen to your body, learn its emotional anatomy to release tension and receive practical tools to incorporate in your daily life.
WHAT WE WILL DO
In this workshop you will learn how emotions are stored in your body from the holistic perspective of Chinese Medicine. And more importantly, how to come back into balance by applying this knowledge in the form of yin yoga postures and acupressure points.
During this Emotional Anatomy summer edition we will dive into the meridians of the heart, small intestine, stomach and spleen. Each organ represents very specific physical, emotional and mental qualities that are constantly giving you signals to show you when there is an imbalance (depletion of the energy or over excess).
Explore which Yin poses nourish which organs by stimulating the designated energy meridian and discover which versions work best for your unique body to bring that organ back to calm and restore inner balance.
FOR WHO
For those who are ready to soften into the wisdom of their body and nourish themselves on a deeper, more sustainable level.
Anyone who is curious to learn and apply the holistic tools of Chinese Medicine both on the mat as off the mat in daily life.
