This Healing Yoga class is the perfect treat at the end of the day—an opportunity to release tension, deeply stretch, and calm the mind. By the end of the session, you’ll feel relaxed, open, and fully connected, ready for a restful night’s sleep.

Class Focus & Benefits
🔹 Gallbladder & Bladder Meridian Activation – This session emphasizes opening and stimulating the gallbladder and bladder meridians, which play a vital role in releasing stored tension and improving energy circulation.

The gallbladder meridian helps with decision-making, flexibility (both physical and mental), and relieving tension in the neck, shoulders, and sides of the body.
The bladder meridian, the longest meridian in the body, helps release deep-seated stress and tightness, supporting relaxation and spinal health.
🔹 Releasing Tension Through Stretching & Poses – A series of targeted stretches and postures help release built-up tightness in the neck, shoulders, sides, hips, legs, and back.

We incorporated different variations of Pigeon Pose, which is excellent for hip opening, emotional release, and lower back relief.
🔹 Hot Pack Therapy in Floor Breathing Postures – We used a hot pack while holding floor-based breathing postures, allowing for deeper core connection and relaxation.

Heat application enhances blood circulation, reduces muscle stiffness, and promotes a profound sense of comfort and release.
🔹 One-Leg-Up Chair Pose – This balancing posture strengthens the legs, core, and stabilizing muscles, promoting alignment, concentration, and grounding energy before winding down.

This class is a holistic reset, helping you let go of both physical and mental tension, leaving you stretched, soothed, and ready for deep rest.
