<h2>What is The Meridian System and Yin Yoga and Why You'd want to revitalize your kidneys. </h2>
<p>The health of our organs is vital to our overall well-being. If we understand their importance on the physical, energetic, psychological levels we will be much more motivated to develop a yin yoga practice that nourishes, protects, and even helps to heal our internal organs. Join us for a series of classes that will be focusing on the energetic pathways called meridians, focusing on the kidney and & urinary bladder lines in the body.</p>
<h2>The Kidney Meridian</h2>
<p>The Kidney Meridian begins in the little toe of each foot. It travels through the sole, the arch, and up the inside of the knees and thighs and enters our torso near the tailbone. It continues up along either side of our spine, connecting internally with our bladder and kidneys, to our throat ending at the root of our tongue.</p>
<h2>The Urinary Bladder Meridian</h2>
<p>The UB Meridian begins at the inside of our eyes. It travels up across our forehead and enters our brain. From here it travels down our back on either side of our spine. An internal branch connects to the kidneys and urinary bladder, while outer branches run all the way down the back of the legs ending at our little toe in each foot.</p>
<h2>Energetic and Emotional Qualities</h2>
<p>The Kidney-Bladder pair is the foundation of balance for all other organ pairs. This pair is our storehouse of vital energy that must remain in balance for our system to work harmoniously. Within our kidneys, according to TCM lives our Jing, or essence. Jing is said to be the foundation of all life. Some believe it to be connected to our ancestry and our inherited constitution. Our prenatal Jing, the energy stores that we are born with, are constantly being depleted simply by living life. Additional stress and illness consume your prenatal Jing more rapidly. We can accumulate postnatal Jing through mindful living and practice like Yin Yoga. Jing is said to be the key to longevity in TCM, which is why stimulating our Kidney Qi and replenishing our Jing is so important.</p>
<p>When our Kidney Qi is balanced we are able to access our innate gentleness, openness and inherent wisdom. The kidneys are associated with our willpower, ambition and level of energy. Conversely, when our Kidney Qi is out of balance we feel the emotion of fear. In this state we have trouble completing tasks, we have less energy, drive and enthusiasm. We might feel disconnected from ourselves and have a diminished sense of self worth and power.</p>
<p>Luckily, this yin practice requires very little energetic effort yet stimulates and nourishes our Kidney Qi and offers our minds a fresh perspective. As you move into this practice, keep the meridian lines in mind. We stimulate these energy channels by both stretching or compressing the targeted areas of the body. Aim to keep your body and mind soft throughout this practice. Remember, Yin yoga is a passive practice so there is no strain or pushing necessary. Let your body be your guide.</p>
