Meridian Yoga Technique 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, acupressure points, breathwork, sound purification, and meditation techniques integrate TCM with yoga to connect our experience in our physical bodies to our deeper emotional and energetic experiences.

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.

You’ll learn how to balance the Meridian pathways through stretching and acupressure points that support your physical and emotional wellbeing. Acupressure is a science-backed technique that helps people regulate their nervous systems, deepen their emotional and internal awareness, and heal themselves and one another.

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 12 primary meridians in TCM, their corresponding emotions and symptoms, and how to balance them through stretching and acupressure.. 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.
