Meridian Yoga Therapy
Meridian Yoga Therapy combines the principles and practices of Yoga with the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the meridian system.
Integrative approach that seeks to balance the flow of energy, or Qi, in the meridians to promote physical, mental, and energetic well-being.
Meridian System in Yoga: In TCM, the meridians are energetic pathways through which Qi flows. In Meridian Yoga Therapy, yoga poses (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and other yogic practices are used to stimulate and regulate the flow of Qi in specific meridians.
Balancing Energy Flow: Meridian Yoga Therapy aims to balance and harmonize the Qi flow in the meridians by targeting specific poses and practices that correspond to the meridian system. These practices are chosen based on the individual's specific needs and imbalances.
Identifying Imbalances: Just as in TCM, Meridian Yoga Therapy involves assessing and identifying imbalances in the flow of Qi. This may involve recognizing physical symptoms, emotional states, or energy blockages associated with specific meridians.
Meridian-Based Sequences: Meridian Yoga Therapy utilizes sequences of yoga poses and practices that target specific meridians or groups of meridians. These sequences are designed to stimulate and activate the Qi flow, release energy blockages, and restore balance in the body and mind.
