Yin and Pin Yoga: A Fusion of Yin Yoga and Acupuncture

A yoga + somatic experience for release, renewal, and aligned beginnings

The new moon is a time of quiet reset—a moment to release what no longer serves and create space for what’s ready to begin.

This workshop is a guided experience designed to support you in letting go—physically, emotionally, and energetically—so you can move forward with clarity and intention.

Through a blend of gentle yoga, somatic practices, breathwork, and guided reflection, you’ll be supported in:
	•	Connecting with where you’re holding tension in the body
	•	Exploring what you’re ready to release
	•	Softening your nervous system and emotional patterns
	•	Creating space for new beginnings

You’ll also be guided through a new moon release ritual, allowing you to consciously close a chapter and step into the next with intention.

This space is for you if you’re:
	•	Moving through a transition
	•	Feeling the pull to let something go
	•	Craving clarity, grounding, or emotional release
	•	Ready to begin again—but want to do it in a way that feels aligned

No prior yoga experience is needed.
Just come as you are.

The Art of Letting Go: New Moon Workshop

A mix of gentle mobility and yin yoga, this class offers a slower, meditative practice designed to provide a deep mid-week nervous system refresh.

The slow-paced nature of this practice encourages poses to be held for longer durations, targeting deeper layers of the body—particularly the fascia.

What is Fascia?
Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that weaves throughout the entire body, surrounding muscles, bones, organs, and nerves. It provides structure, support, and plays a vital role in movement, stability, and overall well-being. Fascia is highly sensitive, rich with nerve endings, making it integral to our body's communication and response system.

By working with the fascial system, this class supports mobility, flexibility, and the release of deeply held tension. The practice also nurtures the interrelationships within the body—where tension in one area can influence distant regions. For example, tension in the lower back may stem from tightness in the hamstrings or hips. By gently targeting these interconnected areas, we encourage a more balanced and aligned body.

This class is welcoming to all ages, body types, and conditions, providing a safe and supportive space for your unique needs. Whether you seek improved mobility, stress relief, or simply time to unwind, this gentle yet powerful practice is here for you.
