Deep Rest: Yoga Nidra & Acupuncture Workshop

With the Spring season at our doorstep, it’s time to shake off the Winter! This is the perfect time to clean our bodies and minds, creating space for more clarity and inspiration. This change of Seasons often also triggers fatigue, which can feel even more intense if you didn’t get to slow down and restore energy during the Winter. Maybe you feel exhausted when your alarm goes off in the morning. You experience dips in your energy during the day and rely on sugar or caffeine to keep going. Your brain might feel foggy and unclear. Low-grade inflammation can cause puffiness, poor digestion, and your skin might break out more than usual. Emotionally you can feel overwhelmed and unmotivated. All signs that your body needs a Spring cleaning and deep restorative rest!

In this 4-hour workshop, Suze (somatic therapist) and Sandra (acupuncturist) join forces to offer you a combination of practices that bring you powerful therapeutic tools that activate your body’s innate ability to recover, heal, and adapt. You will get to experience the practices but also learn the theory behind them and the tools to applythis knowledge in your daily life.

To start the day Suze will teach about sleep, the activity of our brain during the different sleep cycles, and the effects of yoga nidra. She will also teach you the basics about the vagus nerve and the crucial role it plays in your health and well-being. This will be followed by a grounding practice that teaches you how to activate your vagus nerve, allowing you to feel grounded and present in your body.

Sandra will teach you how to support your body during the Spring season from the perspective of Chinese medicine. This will offer you a holistic view of your body and mind and how it relates to nature and its Seasons. You will learn different pressure points and lifestyle practices that you can integrate into your daily life.

In the final practice, all modalities will be combined. You get to enjoy a deeply relaxing yoga nidra combined with acupuncture. You will leave the workshop deeply rested and enriched with valuable knowledge and practices that you can use daily to enhance your health and well-being. Ready to take on Spring with the energy and enthusiasm it deserves!
