Week 1: Yin & Yang

The first practice in the series focuses on finding balance and harmony with yin and yang. These concepts are not within the five elements, but are present in all things, and therefore provide a good foundation for everything that follows in the series. (10/17/2022)

Week 2: Water

The water element stores our essence, from which we create yin and yang. Working with the yin Kidneys and their yang partner, the Urinary Bladder, we tap into the quiet strength of the water element in this practice. (10/24/2022)

Week 3: Wood

The wood element is all about growth and resilience. It gives us strength through flexibility, like bamboo - it’s sturdy, but has enough give to bend instead of breaking. Cultivate this balance through practices for the yin Liver and its yang partner, the Gallbladder. (10/31/2022)

Week 4: Earth

The Earth element provides nourishment by helping us digest - not just food, but emotions and experiences too. In this practice, we work with the Spleen and Stomach meridians to connect with the grounding and nourishing Earth. (11/7/2022)

Week 5: Metal

The Metal element helps us to strike the right balance of structure and order in our lives. This practice focuses on the Lung meridian. (11/14/2022)
