Yoga for Elemental Meridians – CE Credit

The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) system invites you to look at the energetic or subtle body made up of meridians. These meridians act as pathways where Qi, Prana, and blood flow.

The meridians function as a network, much like a complex system of waterways, that can be mapped out throughout the entire body. First, there are the main channels. Then, those channels slowly move into smaller and finer internal pathways. These channels flow from one another without disconnection. Meridians are related to elements in the body, corresponding organs, and emotional states.

This workshop provides participants with tools, knowledge, and expertise on designing Yoga classes and individual sessions through the lens of the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine system with a focus on restoring wellbeing and vitality through the elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water and their coordinating Meridians.
