Acupuncture and Restorative Yoga Journey
As the season shifts to fall, nature teaches us the art of letting go—leaves drop, air cools, and energy turns
inward. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fall is governed by the Metal element, associated with
the Lungs and Large Intestine, the organs of breath, boundary, and release. It’s a time to clear what no
longer serves, refine what remains, and reconnect with what is essential.
In this session, you’ll receive community-style acupuncture—a gentle, deeply restorative treatment offered
in a shared space.
This collective setting allows us to tap into the power of group healing, where individual
stillness supports the whole. We will use points that support the lung and large intestine meridians to boost
immunity, support emotional release, and deepen your breath and presence.
Whether you are brand new to acupuncture or a long-time recipient, this is an opportunity to settle into
yourself and attune to the quieter rhythms of the season—together.
Restorative Yoga for Reflection & Refinement
In alignment with the autumn season and the Metal element, this restorative yoga practice invites you
to slow down, turn inward, and recalibrate. In yoga and in life, structure creates freedom—and through
thoughtful use of props, breath, and geometry, we build a container that allows the nervous system to
unwind and the body to reorganize itself.
This practice will focus on supported shapes that open the lungs, soften the belly, and create space for
breath and reflection. As the trees let go of their leaves, we too practice releasing what we no longer
need—physically, emotionally, and energetically—making space for clarity and renewed vision.
With poetic metaphor, precise placement, and a touch of seasonal ritual, this practice is both
deeply grounding and expansive, helping you settle into the wisdom of the season with grace.
