Combining the somatic practice of yin yoga with the energy work of reiki, join Courtney in this healing and soul awakening workshop. Together we use the tools of both yin and reiki to double down on the regulation of the energy within our bodies, also known as qi or prana.

Yin is inspired by ancient Chinese Daoist practices, utilizing long, deep stretch holds for multiple reasons. Poses are held for 2+ minutes, targeting the "yin" of our physical bodies, connective tissues, fascia, and ligaments. With longer holds, our nervous system can soften more deeply within the shape and create more lasting change. With this time, we are given space to explore the sensations within our bodies, finding an edge which feels appropriate for the body in its current state, and learn how to sit with what might feel uncomfortable, stillness. These shapes and holds are particularly intended to regulate our qi.

Similarly, reiki is a Japanese practice which targets the regulation of qi flow within our bodies. In reiki, this is accessed through the means of a gentle touch or an energizing hover of the hand. This regulation is said to aid in the body's natural healing processes, cleanse the meridians, reduce pain and stressors, and improve the quality of sleep.

How to prepare: Dress in comfortable clothes for light movement, and please bring a journal, pen, and water. Bringing a yoga mat is also suggested.
