Saturday April 14, 3:30-5:30pm – Yin Workshop w/ Kara Golux – Cost $25
Ease into Spring – In Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Five Element Theory, the Wood element reaches its peak with the arrival of spring.  Ruling the organ energies of the Liver and Gall Bladder, our Wood element calls us to be both strong and flexible, clear in our direction but willing to adapt, change course, bend in response to circumstances.  The Liver is referred to as the “master architect”, the chief executive who envisions and oversees the unfolding of new projects.  In addition to detoxification, the Liver functions to control the evenness of flow, managing the distribution of energy, and regulating emotional balance.  In this 2 hour yin yoga workshop, we will combine long held floor postures which target the meridian pathways of Liver and Gall Bladder with breathing techniques and awareness practices to cultivate an unconditional presence, our ability to meet whatever arises in a friendly and hospitable way, without resistance or agenda.  This ability to suspend our habitual reactivity gives rise to insight and equanimity, creating ease as we flow through changing conditions.

Saturday April 21 - Tune in to Dr. Luper’s Health Talk radio show on KFAR 660am from 11am-12pm.
