ENJOY A DAILY 15-20 MINUTE YOGA PRACTICE FOCUSED ON 2 SPECIFIC MERIDIAN LINES
August 14th - Lung & Large Intestine Meridian Lines
The lungs are where the meridian circuit begins, the first contact of chi from the outside world blending internally. The quality of our breath dictating the health of our other organs inside. Explore shapes that awaken the heart and lung space.
August 15th - Stomach & Spleen Meridian Lines
The stomach and spleen are the 2 organs most affected by our diet - both of food and the messages we allow ourselves to consume on a daily basis. Explore shapes that create space around the front of the thigh and torso, aiding to balance out front and back body
August 16th - Heart & Small Intestine Meridian Lines
The heart is considered the supreme managers overseeing all of the workings of the body-mind. It's primary function is to rule the blood and circulation. Explore shapes that awaken the tissues of upper body and thoracic spine area
August 17th - Kidney & Urinary Bladder Meridian Lines
The kidney bladder pairs are the foundation of yin and yang balance for all other organs. They are our storehouse of vital chi and need to be kept in balance. Explore shapes that awaken the inner thigh and heart space.
August 18th - Liver & Gallbladder Meridian Lines
Liver chi co-ordinates and regulates the movement of chi everywhere within us, and is responsible for creating a calming inner atmosphere. Imbalances can see us with a fiery temper and mood! Explore shapes to open the outer and inner lines of the body!
