Shiatsu Yin 2 hour Immersion

A 2-hour immersion of moving Inwards to your Yin state of being. It will include Shiatsu Yin, followed with elemental Yoga Nidra (and may include qi gong)

In Shiatsu Yin we incorporate the two practices of Yin Yoga and Shiatsu touch to offer you a deeper and more nourishing experience while holding Yin postures.

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of body work. Shiatsu has adopted the same philosophy and principles of East Asian Medicine. This form of bodywork creates flow and balance of Qi and allows release for any physical or emotional holdings.

Yin poses are held for 4 – 5 minutes. In which each pose helps open and release the deepest layer of the muscle, the fascia, where the meridian lines lie. East Asian Medicine works towards and into Meridian Lines to support the body’s functioning. Both Shiatsu and Yin Yoga marry up beautifully to target the meridian lines and assist in nourishing and strengthening the areas of focus.

When holding these Yin Yoga postures an experienced Shiatsu practitioner will come around to the area and meridian of focus and offer Shiatsu touch, including palming, finger pressure, and acupressure holds to enhance the Yin Yoga postures…

The Chinese word DOYO translates to time of transition. Late summer arrives in this transitional phase as we move into the Earth element.
The days are still warm and evening’s arrive earlier as the days shorten. Nature takes a rest in this mellow fruitfulness as everything has stopped producing, and there is an overall feeling of softening and rounding.

Ancient texts tell us that the Earth element is the centre around which all other phases and seasons rotate around. It is the foundation on which our health and wholeness is based. Just as the physical Earth we ground on, which we build our lives on, provides us with the means of food, shelter, clothing and fuel.

Our survival is what the earth provides for us and it is how we nourish, support and hold ourselves that can impact how we are healthy whole beings.

Our Earth is the Mother, giver, receiver, the space holder, the one that nourishes. It is a neutral space with an equal balance of Yin and Yang, which is always active within our lives but especially in the transitional phases
The ease with which you are able to flow with the transitions between seasons will not only prepare you for the next season to come, Autumn. It will also offer you insights into the health and stability of the Earth element within you.

Join this Later Summer Shiatsu Yin to hold, support and nurture your Earth element while the seasonal transition (Doyo) is active. You will be guided through practice of pranayama, mini flow, Shiatsu Yin and a Mantra chant. To ignite and unify your body, your Mind and Earth element with the season we reside in, Late Summer
Hosted and Guided by Jana Higgs Shiatsu Therapist and Yoga Facilitator, accompanied by professional Shiatsu Therapists.
