Shiatsu Yin 2 hour Immersion
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…
In Chinese medicine every season has an element, and an organ system holding their own unique resonance which we feel and witness in nature, and finding in ourselves expressions of the season in a physical, emotional and spiritual form.
Winter and the Element of Water is a season of slowing down. It is the season of stillness and quiet, and the deepest Yin in the elemental cycle. As life around us comes to a pause, the days are shorter and the nights colder. Nature is at her lowest ebb.
Water is the most yielding of the 5 elements and the most powerful. It has the ability to shape landscapes through persistence and flow. Water symbolizes depth, intuition and the unconscious. Winter is the time to embrace the cool, dark, receptive and still qualities of Yin, which are qualities that support restoration and inner growth.
By honouring this season of Water we cultivate inner wisdom, intuition and a deep sense of self trust. By giving ourselves the permission to pause we open space for clarity to emerge, to connect with our deep resources and where we wish to direct them. Giving us ground for future fertility, creativity, and movement, just as we witness in Spring.
In this Shiatsu Yin immersion we will be exploring and journeying together on how we are interconnected with the elements, and the intrinsic nature water and wisdom of the kidneys, the storehouse of our deepest resources, our Jing. Which holds the innate power to ‘see life through and carry us through our experiences’.
This embodied immersion brings seasonal energy through movement, breath and guided touch. Allowing space to adapt and harness the qualities of the season we reside in, the season of Water.
Let this be your invitation to retreat, restore and remember the quiet power that flows within you.
Hosted and Guided by Jana Higgs Shiatsu Therapist and Yoga Facilitator, accompanied by professional Shiatsu Therapists.
