Workshop Series Overview:

Meridian Yin Workshop Series

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.
