Join us for an Acupuncture and Gentle Pilates workshop to ease the mind and calm the body. Students will enjoy a simple and controlled Pilates session designed to mobilize the spine, increase body awareness and a sense of stability via gentle muscle connection.
Following the session will be an auricular acupuncture provided by Elizabeth Fuqua of Vital Qi. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early, wear comfortable clothing, and bring any props with you to support rest.
Cost: $48
About Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture:
Auricular acupuncture is a diagnostic and treatment system based on harmonizing the body through stimulation of points on the ear. During the treatment, small, sterile needles are placed on the outer ear which activates the parasympathetic nervous system, creating a calming effect.
