Fabulous alone...dreamy together! Supercharge two complementary wellness practices (acupuncture and yoga nidra). We are delighted to offer our shared passion for these ancient therapies that are rooted in modern science. We have curated our favorite Qi-opening, brainwave-shifting practices and are offering nourishing options to support you as you balance your energy all year long. Each session will have a seasonal theme with monthly options at JFA, quarterly at Balance. Each 90 minute session will include: breathwork, yin yoga, a gentle acupuncture treatment (perfect for beginners) and a guided meditation. ​
What is it?:
Acupuncture: holistic medicine that is over 3,000 years old. Extremely thin needles are placed at specific points at body to promote healthy flow of energy & stimulate parasympathetic nervous system. Effects can be felt physically and mentally.
Yoga Nidra: conscious rest, a guided meditation that systematically elicits the relaxation response. A process of mindful self-inquiry, anancient body mapping practice that shifts brainwave states inviting a state of deep ease while maintaining awareness of surroundings (different than sleep). A 30 minute session can be restorative equivalent of 2-3 hours of deep sleep (but not meant to replace it). ​
