What an auspicious year 🐉2024!

We've worked with a green dragon mascot for years now and it feels like this year might be a little special with the wood dragon now also moving into position in the stars.

Make sure you check your own personal cosmic qi (Chinese horoscope) and see how it plays out this year under the wood dragon energy.

chineseastrologyonline.com is a good read.

Do you need a break from the heaviness of these cold dark days?

The season of rest and deep nourishment is upon us. Building deep reserve happens now!
Without this deep rest spring hormone changes can leave us feeling especially resistant, stuck, low on energy and uninspired. Follow the old wisdom that from the stillness the activity and energy rises.

Our half day, deep restoration session is designed to send a potent message to the body and soul to lift, warm and rejuvenate the senses.

In harmony with the season of rest this half day multi-practice retreat offers a peaceful, restful and nourishing afternoon of Acupuncture, yoga, and body practices with guidance on ways to live well through the coldest, heaviest days of winter!

Looking at dropping the nervous system into total stillness and quietness to build a solid reserve for the the energy required during the rising energy of Spring.

Create space for drawing in nourishment with us at our retreat located within MoveWell studio on the 19th of August.

2 PLACES LEFT for this Sunday's Yin and Pin!💕 Do not miss this🔥

It's time to come together again and find some warmth with the start of the winter warmer series Yin and pin!

In Chinese medicine three fires reside within the body to keep life strong.

One fire in the chest centre,
One fire in the gut centre
One fire in the kidney (lower body) centre.

Winter especially challenges kidney fire.

We can notice this challenge as poor energy, cold feet, increased urination, low back pain, low mood and reduced libido (for life and other) and it also impacts our fertility.

During these sessions we will be working three acupuncture points to warm the kidney's energy.

🔥Kidney 2🔥
Warm and enhance the lower burner yang-fire in order to ward off and match the increasing environmental cold.

💪Kidney 3 💪
To strengthen and consolidate the kidney's essential nature. Aiding easeful movement into the period of stripping back. Allowing the body to adjust to the changes of the season by drawing from a deep reserve of life force found within the kidney, also promoting deep rest and regulation of the endocrine system.

🌞Du 20🌞
Assist in lifting and connecting to a heavenly yang light source.
As the fire (sun) above the head travels to the underworld over winter (northern hemisphere) we reconnect and anchor the yang fire down to the body to take full advantage of what light is available to us.

Yin and pin is a monthly group acupuncture and yoga session held at Movewell studio on St. Asaph street in Christchurch. It runs for 1.5 hours with 45 minutes of yoga followed by 45 minutes of acupuncture, and is an important wellbeing practice/event worldwide.

and love bringing this to Christchurch!
