Workshop
Restorative Yoga and Acupuncture with Gabrielle Cohen and Ilya Yacobson
	The practices of acupuncture and restorative yoga are a fusion of the best healing gifts from two ancient cultures, China and India. Both of these modalities free up stagnant energies within the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. This process presents an opportunity to let go of the old and welcome the new. Studies have shown that healing is most effective when done in a nurturing group setting. In this workshop students will hold supported yogic postures for an extended period of time while receiving a series of acupuncture treatments. The practices of acupuncture and yoga amplify each other's benefits. This workshop is open to yogis of all levels and ages. No yoga experience in necessary.
