Join Licensed Acupuncturist, Krista Essler and 500hr Certified Yoga Teacher, Brenda Schoeneman, for this experience to boost your immunity and overall well-being!

Acupuncture is a 3000-year-old system of traditional medicine that originates from China. Very thin needles are inserted along the energetic Meridians of the body at specific points. When stimulated, the points trigger the body to balance the nervous system and restore healthy energy flow.

Join us as we combine these two ancient and very powerful health systems on body, mind and spirit.

Leaving Late Summer, or the fifth season of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on the other side of the equinox, we come into our Metal element. Brenda will guide you through a carefully curated sequence of poses with a focus on expanding the body for a deeper breath, releasing stagnant energy and ending in serene relaxation. Once you are settled into guided rest, Krista will administer acupuncture to enhance the effects, the energy flows through the Lung and Large Intestine meridians. This transformation can be accommodated by letting go. 

While resting comfortably in Savasana, your third eye, or Yin Tang, will be stimulated with an essential oil. By gently inserting four needles, one on each limb below the knee and elbow, the energy is transformed from the Dampness of Late Summer, into the Dryness of Autumn. We breathe in, and contemplate what no longer serves us. We breathe in, and grieve for the past. We breathe in, and let go.

Yoga and acupuncture together can be our greatest tools in supporting healing and keeping all our body’s systems working optimally. By cultivating balance in our body and its systems, we can support, nourish, strengthen and build our health, immunity, energy and overall quality of life.
