This Yin Yoga Series explores the Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) through the lens of the meridian system. These elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each session blends long-held Yin postures with somatic awareness, self-reflection, and elemental insight to support physical, emotional, and energetic balance.
These workshops are part educational, part embodied practice. You’ll learn the location and functions of the meridians for each element and use the tools of Yin Yoga, as well as gua sha scraping, to deepen your awareness and connection.
Each session includes:
A 90-minute Yin Yoga practice tailored to the element
Seasonal wisdom & journaling prompts
Take home printouts
A take-home gua sha tool
This series is designed to be both educational and grounding, to inspire your practice. It’s an invitation to align with the rhythms of nature.
Individual Element/Workshop Descriptions:
September 27th: Autumn Meridian Yin: Metal Element Workshop
Description:
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Metal element is associated with the season of Autumn, a time of release, refinement, and reflection. In this workshop, we’ll work with the Lung and Large Intestine meridian lines, which support the functions of breath, immunity, elimination, and healthy boundaries.
You’ll learn where these meridians are located and be guided through a grounding Yin Yoga sequence to help support the energetic flow of these channels. Yin involves long held postures to bring healthy stress to the deeper connective tissues of the body.
This workshop includes:
90-minute Yin Yoga practice focused on the Metal meridians
Guided gua sha scraping along the meridian pathways
Brief lesson on the Metal element in TCM
Seasonal journaling prompts & take-home handouts
Take-home gua sha tool with instructions for use
No experience is necessary. All props are provided. You’re welcome to bring a journal or your own cozy items for extra comfort.
