Calm mind and body with this unique self-care practice, blending the energy healing arts of Yin Yoga and Acupressure. Yin Yoga has been known to help relieve aches and pains (think lower back pain, tight hips, shoulder aches) using held floor poses & body weight to open energy pathways deep within tissues. Acupressure (Traditional Chinese Medicine) uses gentle pressure to stimulate and restore the flow of energy in the body. Modifications and use of props make the practice more restorative. Mindful movement, Qi-gong, and self-massage are also incorporated.
Bring a yoga mat and wear comfortable clothes to move in.
Jane Barry DePaul, E-RYT, YACEP, started taking yoga classes to deal with the anxiety and stress of a job layoff and dealing with aging parents. That layoff had a silver lining because it gave her time to go to yoga school and she has been teaching since 2013 at local studios and Penn State Brandywine's wellness classes! While she was originally attracted to the increased muscle tone and flexibility of her body, it was the sense of peace and calm that kept her coming back to her mat. Jane enjoys teaching students at all levels, especially those who think they cannot yoga. Her supportive cues, use of props and mindful breathing help students build a practice to face life's challenges with a stronger body, calmer mind and renewed spirit.
