Join us for a 2 hour deeply restorative workshop where we will use acupuncture and restorative yoga to help you dial down your sympathetic tone and increase your body’s intrinsic healing ability. So much of our lives are spent pushing through challenges and while this can be a good thing in the moment, we also need to spend time resting, repairing and restoring. During this deeply nourishing two hours, Dr. Sedgwick will guide you through specific acupuncture points that will help address anxiety, stress, muscular soreness, insomnia, and fatigue. We will use wearable acupuncture needles to help move qi more smoothly in our bodies. Robin Ivy Payton will then guide you through a deeply nourishing restorative practice while you wear your needles. It is not painful or scary! These needles are very small and you will likely not notice them during the yoga practice.
The combination of the acupuncture, restorative postures and then gentle movement with transitions between postures will leave you feeling refreshed, recharged and peaceful - ready to face your world with a steady, strong and peaceful mind and body. On the cusp of seasonal change, our yoga and acupuncture will honor the metal element and process of release and letting go while renewing your vital life force for autumn.
