This 80 minute yin yoga practice is focussed on the Heart and Small Intestine Meridians.
In our Functional Energetics sequence we started to explore energetic movement through the body’s subtle energy channels and discussed how this movement and harmonisation of energy is important for overall health.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Chi (or Qi) moves through 12 main meridians in the body. In more recent research, the focus has been on myofascial meridians that loosely follow many of the TCM meridians. Myofascial meridian pathways allow chemical and electrical energy to move through the body, these bands are part of the single connective tissue network that is present in every part of our body. It is these myofascial meridians that we work with in a yoga practice and that we will work with in this sequence. Often these meridians are worked with in their Yin/Yang pairs.
In TCM the Heart and Small Intestine meridians relate to the functions of circulation, warmth, our spirit and zest for life, love, the nervous system, and memory.
Disharmony in the Heart and Small Intestine meridians can manifest as poor blood circulation, heart palpitations or a racing heartbeat, insomnia, night sweats as well as feelings of sadness, desperation or depression.
The sequence we will practice seeks to restore some balance to the Heart and Small Intestine meridians, helping to ensure a healthy flow of Chi throughout the body.
