Call to Retreat: An Afternoon of Restorative Yoga and Acupuncture

  • Metta Yoga San Rafael 835 4th Street, Suite B San Rafael, CA 94901 USA (map)

Join John Berlinksy and Erin Stewart for a special afternoon of restorative yoga followed by savasana with acupuncture for deep relaxation and restoration.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is the season of expansion and growth. The body’s Qi is rising and expanding at this time and can be harnessed to help us achieve positive change in our lives.

The Liver and Gallbladder meridians come alive during Spring. They govern the harmonious movement of our Qi and help us put our dreams and aspirations in motion. Activating these meridians can help release stress and stored tension, clear blockages, increase energy levels and give us greater clarity around pivotal decisions.

We will spend time moving through restorative postures followed by an extended savasana with acupuncture points that have been selected to rebalance and stimulate the body’s vital energy.

Cost: $55 (10% off for Metta Yoga members applies automatically at checkout)
