Meridian Yoga (Winter) with Jackie Garbe

The Meridian Yoga Technique (MYT) developed by Dr. Rose Erin Vaughan, blends Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with yoga for a comprehensive practice that helps you to cultivate harmony in your body, mind, and spirit.

About the practice: This series of poses, breathwork, sound purification, and qi gong practices utilize the TCM Meridian pathways and points to connect our experience in our physical bodies to our deeper emotional and energetic experiences.

This workshop will focus on Winter and the corresponding Water Element, exploring yoga techniques related to the bladder/kidney meridians. This practice helps with nervous system regulation, adrenal support (addressing burnout, replenishing energy, strengthening the immune system, and inner resilience, while nourishing you through the cold and winter season.

Our bodies hold deep innate wisdom, and the capacity to heal ourselves from within. MYT helps you to tap into this; as you build awareness of the subtle energy in your body and the complex and intelligent systems within, you can form a more holistic relationship to your body, emotions, and being.

What to expect: You can expect a grounding practice that deepens your experience in classic yoga poses, expands your body awareness, and teaches you about the TCM meridian pathways, focusing on the Kidney and Bladder Meridians, Winter, and Water element. Whether you are new to Traditional Chinese Medicine or are an experienced practitioner, you can expect to expand your awareness of how these pathways and how you can move the energy through movement, breath, and awareness.

You may experience emotions surfacing as we move through the practice. MYT is designed to help you balance and release these emotions in a safe and trauma-informed setting, so that you can return back to your true center: loving awareness ˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗

This practice is beginner-friendly and all-levels, beneficial and engaging for the first-time yogi and the longtime practitioner alike.
