SUMMARY:Sound and Shen with Anahata Holistic
DESCRIPTION:Sound and Shen with Anahata Holistic Wellness\nSound Journey with Auricular Acupuncture & Yoga Nidra\nDate : Saturday 29th August \nTime : 530pm – 7pm \nCost : R 425 \nVenue : Anahata Holistic Wellness  41 6th Street\, Parkhurst  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStep into a space where vibration meets intention\, and the subtle body is gently invited into harmony. \nThis collaborative experience weaves together a deeply immersive sound journey with the precision of auricular acupuncture\, guided by the theme of the Anahata – the Heart Chakra. At the center of this practice lies the cultivation of openness\, compassion\, and emotional balance. \nAs you settle into stillness\, therapeutic sound frequencies from crystal bowls\, chimes\, and resonant tones – begin to settle the nervous system\, softening mental activity and creating receptivity within the body. Within this meditative state\, carefully selected auricular acupuncture points are applied to support the Shen\, calm the mind\, and regulate the Heart and Nervous System. \nThe ears\, micro systems of the entire body\, become gateways for profound regulation – enhancing the effects of the soundscape while anchoring the experience physiologically. \nThis journey is designed to: \n\n• Open and balance the Heart center\n• Release emotional stagnation and stored tension\n• Support parasympathetic activation and deep rest\n• Cultivate inner spaciousness\, connection\, and ease \nExpect a gentle yet powerful descent into stillness\, where sound and needle meet\, not as separate modalities\, but as a unified dialogue within the body. \nFor bookings click here \n\nCome as you are. Leave with a quieter mind\, a softer heart\, and a more coherent inner rhythm. \nWhat people had to say after the first event :\n“Zen Shen sound bath with acupuncture\, a sublime experience !” – Avril  \n“Finding balance and recovery after an intense week” – Kingdom Muaythai  \n“A unique experience I definitely haven’t tried before” – Jennifer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Women's Wellness according to the Classics
DESCRIPTION:Women’s Wellness according to the Classics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Online Workshop\nLong before hormones were measured in laboratories\, the ancient physicians of East asian medicine carefully observed the natural rhythms of a woman’s life. They understood that health was not simply the absence of disease\, but the harmonious movement of Qi\, Blood\, Essence (Jing)\, and Spirit (Shen) through every stage of life. \nIn this workshop\, we return to these timeless teachings\, exploring women’s health through the lens of the classical texts. Together we’ll examine the seven-year cycles described in the Huangdi Neijing\, introduce the role of the relevant extraordinary channels\, and how our bodies can best be supported during the fluctuations and changes as we age. \nYou’ll learn how the classics viewed the relationship between the Kidneys\, Liver\, Spleen\, Heart\, and Uterus\, while gaining practical insights that can support modern women navigating stress\, hormonal changes\, fatigue\, emotional wellbeing\, and healthy ageing. \nWhether you’re a practitioner\, yoga teacher\, student of Chinese medicine\, or simply fascinated by a more holistic understanding of women’s health\, this workshop offers a thoughtful blend of ancient wisdom and practical application. \nWe’ll explore:\n\nThe Seven-Year Cycles and what they reveal about each stage of a woman’s life\nJing\, Blood\, Qi and Tian Gui through the classical perspective\nMenstruation as a vital sign of health\nPerimenopause and menopause beyond symptom management\nLifestyle\, nourishment and seasonal living according to the classics\nSimple practices to cultivate vitality\, resilience and longevity\n\nJoin us as we rediscover a profound medical tradition that continues to offer wisdom for women today – honouring the body’s natural rhythms rather than working against them. \nSuitable for: Practitioners\, acupuncture students\, yoga teachers\, holistic health professionals\, and anyone with an interest in women’s wellbeing. \nFormat: Live Online Workshop (recording available if you cannot attend live). Zoom code to be shared on payment.

SUMMARY:Hanya House collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Hanya House Collaboration\nI’m so excited and pleased to be returning to Hanya House in collaboration with physiotherapist Lindsay Harris. Together\, we offer an integrated approach to healthcare\, facilitating treatments that blend the combined modalities of acupuncture and craniosacral therapy. Working with evidence-informed knowledge and patient-centred care. \nDates : 14th\, 15th & 16th August. \nThe focus remains deep relaxation\, recalibrating energy and fostering a harmonious mind body connection. \nJoin us for a transformative weekend combining acupuncture\, craniosacral therapy and yin yoga amidst the tranquility of Hanya House . Each treatment offering is designed to soothe the nervous system\, restore balance and replenish energy reserves. Perfect treatment combinations to help you reset\, recharge and reconnect with your inner calm. \nAvailable Treatments:\nAcupuncture & Craniosacral Therapy Combination – An integrated treatment designed to address musculoskeletal pain\, headaches\, stress-related conditions\, nervous system dysregulation\, sleep disturbances\, and to support the body’s natural healing and recovery processes. \nCombining the therapies can provide a synergistic effect for enhancing overall wellness\, pain relief and emotional balance. Providing a unique\, holistic healing experience. \nKey benefits include :\n1. Deeper relaxation : both therapies promote deep relaxation and stress reduction.

Enhanced pain relief : CST focuses on releasing tension in the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord\, which can help to alleviate chronic pain. Acupuncture addresses pain by stimulating specific points to improve the flow of Qi\, reduce inflammation and to promote healing. Together they can offer more comprehensive relief for conditions like migraines\, neck and back pain. \n3. Improved nervous system function : CST targets the central nervous system\, while acupuncture works on the body’s meridian system to balance energy. A combined treatment plan can improve the communication channels within the body\, helping it\nfunction more efficiently. \n4. Boosted immune response : Acupuncture is known to stimulate the immune system while CST enhances lymphatic drainage and circulation.

SUMMARY:Extraordinary Channels - Moxa for the Ren & Du Channels
DESCRIPTION:Extraordinary Channels – Moxa for the Ren & Du Channels\nDiscover the deeper layer of energy beyond the primary meridians in this hands-on workshop designed for yoga teachers and wellness practitioners. \nMoxibustion is a traditional East Asian therapy that uses heat from burning dried mugwort (Artemisia) to stimulate the flow of Qi (Prana) in the body and promote healing. \nWe’ll explore the Extraordinary Channels – focusing on the Ren (Conception Vessel) and Du (Governing Vessel) and how they regulate yin and yang\, support the nervous system\, and influence long-term vitality. \nYou’ll learn how to safely and effectively use moxa on key points along these channels to support grounding\, energy\, and overall balance. This practical session blends theory with guided application\, giving you tools you can integrate into your teaching or personal practice. \nPerfect for those ready to expand their understanding of energy anatomy and bring a deeper dimension into their work. \nLimited spaces available. \n \nWe’ll focus on :\n\nFoundational points along the Ren channel for grounding\, digestion\, reproductive health\nKey Du channel points for boosting yang\, supporting the spine\, and calming the mind\nProper moxa distance\, timing\, and patient feedback cues\nContraindications and safety considerations\nIntegrating moxa safely into your existing practice or self-care rituals\n\n\nJoin me to unlock even deeper energy work.\nStep beyond the surface of the meridians and into the core of the body’s energetic architecture. This is where deep change begins. \nSpaces are limited to ensure an intimate\, guided experience. \nDate : 27th June \nTime : 1030am – 1pm \nVenue : Parkwood Studio \nInvestment : R 550 (includes Moxa sticks) \nFor more information Extraordinary Meridians for Yoga teachers \n \n

SUMMARY:Yin Workshop with Namaste Yoga Studio
DESCRIPTION:UPCOMING YIN WORKSHOP \n13th June 1130am – 1pm  \nNamaste Yoga Studio \n\n\nFerndale Village Shopping Centre corner Main Ave &\, Oxford St\, Ferndale\, Randburg\, 2194 \n\n\nEnjoy a combination of Yin Yoga and auricular acupuncture\, followed by Yoga Nidra to close the session. Together each modality facilitates an even deeper practice of relaxation\, recovery and reset. \nWhat makes this combination so powerful?\nYoga and acupuncture complement each other well because they both aim to restore balance and harmony within the body\, mind\, and energy systems. \nHere’s why they work so well together\n1. Flow of Energy (Prana and Qi): \nWhether you frame the energetic systems in the body as Prana or Qi\, both Yoga and acupuncture work with the flow of energy in the body. \nYoga focuses on the flow of prana (life energy) through the body\, promoting balance through breath-work (pranayama)\, poses (asanas)\, and meditation. \nAcupuncture works on the flow of qi (a similar concept to prana) along meridians or energy pathways. By stimulating specific points\, acupuncture helps clear blockages and promote the smooth flow of qi. \n2. Stress reduction \nModern lifestyles are highly demanding and many of us live in high-pressure\, fast-paced environments. To reduce stress often requires making a conscious effort to find practices that encourage stress reduction. \nBoth modalities are effective in reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Yoga calms the nervous system through mindful movement and breath\, while acupuncture releases tension and balances the body’s stress response. \n3. Holistic Healing \nYoga and acupuncture both take a holistic approach to health\, addressing not just physical symptoms but also emotional and mental well-being. They encourage the body’s natural healing processes by restoring internal balance. \n4. Enhancing the effect of each modality \nAfter an acupuncture session\, yoga can help maintain the openness and flow of energy created by the needles. \nSimilarly\, acupuncture can enhance the effects of yoga by addressing specific imbalances\, allowing for deeper\, more effective practice. \n5. Pain relief \nIndependently\, yoga and acupuncture are effective in managing and relieving chronic pain. Yoga helps by improving flexibility\, strength\, and posture\, while acupuncture can directly target areas of pain and promote the release of endorphins. \nTogether\, yoga and acupuncture create a powerful synergy\, addressing both the physical and energetic aspects of well-being\, making them a popular combination for those seeking holistic health practices. \nWHAT TO EXPECT  \nExpect a deeply restorative\, inward-focused experience that blends the stillness of Yin Yoga with the subtle therapeutic effects of auricular acupuncture. The session begins with long-held\, floor-based Yin poses designed to gently open the fascia\, regulate the nervous system\, and invite introspection. During this grounded state\, fine auricular needles are applied to specific ear points to support relaxation\, stress relief\, and energetic balance. Enhancing the body’s natural capacity to reset and heal. \nWe then transition into Yoga Nidra\, a guided meditative practice that leads you into a state between waking and sleep. Here\, the body rests completely while awareness remains gently alert\, allowing for profound mental\, emotional\, and physical restoration.  \nThis combination creates a layered\, integrative journey that is ideal for those seeking to unwind deeply\, recalibrate\, and reconnect with a quieter internal rhythm. \n(Ear seeds available as an alternative to needles on request) \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Rest and recover with Yin Yoga\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Yin Yoga with auricular acupuncture\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Low lunge with support of blocks\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Closing with a Yoga Nidra

SUMMARY:The Six Stages Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Enhance your understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the context of Yin Yoga with this upcoming workshop.  \nThis four part module is designed to deepen your understanding of the intricate channel system and how it can be applied to Yin Yoga.  \nThe workshop is ideal for any Yin Yoga teachers or Yoga therapists who have a strong affiliation to applied principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and would like to learn more. Module 1 in particular is a great revision block for current practitioners. It is recommended to have some familiarity with the primary channel system.  \nThe six stages\, or six levels are a diagnostic framework used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In most Yin Yoga teacher training courses you learn about the interior – exterior pairing of the Yin and Yang (Zang-Fu) organs of each element. The six stages pair hand and foot channels as a means of describing the progression of external pathogenic factors\, particularly cold\, through the body’s internal pathways and organ systems. \nThe concept of the Six Stages originates from one of the foundational texts of TCM : the Shang Han Lun. The theories were developed at a time when febrile diseases were very prevalent. Each stage aligns with the movement of pathogenic factors such as wind\, cold and heat through the body\, reflecting the interrelated aspects of Yin-Yang dynamics and the Zang-Fu organs. \nIt might be useful to think of it as a tool that helps to guide a practitioner in diagnosing and treating certain conditions based on the stage and nature of the disease process. It can also be related to understanding the flow of energy and sense of balance in the body. \nWhen combined with Yin Yoga and breath work\, we can use specific poses to restore balance in the body. By understanding the hand and foot pairing\, Yin Yoga teachers can be more intentional about where and how to move the Qi in the body. \nModule 1 – : Revision of the primary channels and the extraordinary channels of the Ren & Du. Introduction to the Body Clock according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Retrace the pathways and begin to deepen your understanding of their interconnectedness. Recognise how this is reflected in the body clock system.  \nModule 2 – : The Six Stages : Pairing the hand and foot channels. Alternative to the interior exterior pairing of the primary channels\, they can also be paired according to hand and foot combinations of the six stages. This intricate system blends beautifully with potential class themes for Yoga therapists and/or Yin Yoga practitioners.  \nModule 3 – : Pathologies of the Six Stages : how to recognise potential physical and emotional imbalances. Not a diagnostic tool\, but rather an introduction to a new perspective on selecting channels and designing new class themes.  \nModule 4 – : Pose recommendations and Source points. Learn to identify the recommended poses and appropriate source points according to each stage. \nThe first 3 modules are facilitated online and the fourth module is in-studio. If you are unable to attend the final module in person an arrangement can be made for a one on one session online. Avoiding any potential disconnections in a hybrid setting.  \nInvestment per module : R 550  \nCost to attend all four modules : R 2000 (10% discount)  \nVenue : Modules 1 – 3 Online via Zoom\, Tuesday evenings 530pm -8pm 17th\, 24th \, 31st March  \nVenue : Module 4 : Parkwood Studio \,Johannesburg\, Saturday 11th April 1030am – 1pm  \nFor more information email theresa@theresamoodie.com or take a read : https://theresamoodie.com/blog/yoga/the-six-stages-in-application-to-yin-yoga/

SUMMARY:The Ren & the Chong Mai
DESCRIPTION:The Ren & the Chong Mai\nThe Sea of Yin and the Sea of Blood.  \nLearn how to integrate these two extraordinary channels into your Yin Yoga sequencing. Better understand their role in balancing and regulating the hormonal systems.  \nThe Ren Mai and the Chong Mai are considered the foundation of feminine rhythm and vitality. \nThe Ren\, also know as the Conception Vessel\, runs along the front midline of the body\, from the perineum up to the lips. It is called the Sea of Yin because it gathers the cooling\, nourishing and stabilising forces that keep us grounded and whole. It plays a pivotal role in the functioning of the uterus\, menstrual cycle and the quality of our Yin energy. \nThe Chong\, the Penetrating vessel\, rises from the same source and travels deep through the abdomen\, chest and legs. The Sea of Blood connects the reproductive system with the heart\, linking emotion and fertility\, passion and purpose. \nWhen the Ren & Chong are in harmony\, the hormonal fluctuations move more smoothly. The cycle is regular\, sleep is deep\, emotions flow easily. Stress\, overwork and ageing can deplete these channels. We may notice imbalances such as irregular cycles\, mood fluctuations\, heat at night or fatigue. \nYin yoga and pressure points are beautiful ways to nourish these rivers. The holds of Yin invite the fascia\, and the meridians woven within it\, to open slowly\, allowing Qi and blood to flow freely. Gentle pressure on specific acupressure points sends warmth deep into the womb and kidneys\, awakening the body’s innate wisdom to restore balance. \nThis workshop will teach you the channels pathways\, understanding of their functions and how best to apply this to Yin Yoga sequencing with the inclusion of self acupressure points. \nIt is preferable to have some understanding of the primary channels and/or Yin yoga to attend this module. \nCost : R 450  \nVenue : Online via Zoom ( Code to be shared on registration )  \nDate : Saturday 22nd November 1030am – 1pm

SUMMARY:Yin Yoga 100 Hour TTC
DESCRIPTION:Yin Yoga 100 Hour TTC\nThe next Yin Yoga 100 hour TTC with Shakti Yoga starts on the 28th September and runs until the 30th November.  \nI will be lecturing fundamental principals of Yin and Yang and basic anatomy applicable to a Yin Yoga class structure. \nYin yoga is a slow-paced style of Yoga. Asanas are held for anything from 2min – 15min for more advanced practitioners. The practice of Yin Yoga is becoming increasingly popular\, both for students and teachers. \nThis style is the perfect compliment to more dynamic styles of Yoga such as Ashtanga or Vinyasa. Equally beneficial if you practice other modalities such as a Martial arts\, endurance or strength training programs. \nThe principles of Yin Yoga follow those applied to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). \nI will be lecturing on this topic during this course • Discussing the principles of Yin and Yang  • Comparisons and similarities between Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine • Briefly looking at the physical benefits of Yin Yoga for the joints\, connective tissues and the nervous system. • I will also cover the 12 main meridian lines\, the theory of the five elements according to TCM and learn where some of the major pressure points are on the body. \nI will also lead a practical Yin Yoga class that incorporates the use of these pressure points during the class. \nEnsuring that by the end of the course you have an overview of these complex principals in application to teaching methodologies appropriate to a Yin Yoga class.
