Healthy Joints: Herbal Medicine & Yoga Workshop

Wednesday, March 15 7 PM - 9 PM

Investment: $25

Do you suffer from joint pain and stiffness? Dryness and cracking? Or do you just want to work on supporting fluidity and comfort in your joints for long-term benefit? Join us to learn more!

From a Chinese medicine perspective, joint health - and all connective tissue health - has it's roots in the liver. Spring is the season in Chinese medicine where we look to detoxify the liver and gallbladder organ pairing. This organ system - when healthy - gives us flexibility in mind and body. Unexpressed anger shows up as pain in the joints. We will talk more on this and ways to healthfully express this emotion. I also will discuss foods, herbs and thought patterns/ behaviors that help us to keep our joints - and the rest of our bodies - youthful and mobile.

In our yoga practice, we will work on fluid movement to create suppleness and comfort in the joints, as well as learn how yoga can help us create stability and strength around the joints. The practice will be gentle and accessible to all ability levels.
