Springtime means intense new energies enter our sphere, and the Wood Element becomes more active within. In this series with Jennifer Reis, learn how to decongest and cleanse this Spring Season for greater clarity and ease of being. You’ll learn the location of the Spring-Wood meridians (energy channels) and be guided in simple practices to clear and activate your meridians in this potent practice that synthesizes yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine together.

The ‘sleeping bear’ of the liver and gallbladder organs and their corresponding Wood Element meridians awaken during Spring. This is the main detoxification system in the body, and is more affected by stress and emotions than the other organs.

When Wood Element is stagnant, anger, irritability, intensity, rigidity, depression, insomnia, feeling stuck, and trouble with ‘going with the flow’ are common. Physically this can cause difficulty digesting, bloat, nausea, menstrual difficulties, allergies, headaches, stiff joints, aches and pains, unclear direction and anger bursts.

You will love the easy flow of meridian yoga postures and self-massage techniques that will help to decongest, nourish, and strengthen your Spring-Wood Meridian channels. The results will leave you feeling increased peace, a sense of flow in your body and in your life, greater expansion and freedom of vision and possibility, with a smoother flow of emotions.
