An easy, gentle and accessible method aimed at stimulating Qi (pronounced Chi) flow and removing Qi blockages, working similarly to acupuncture
Meridian systems yoga is a yoga method that uses simple and basic asanas (yoga postures) to stimulate Qi (pronounced Chi) flow and remove Qi blockages of particular meridian groups in the body. Working similarly to acupuncture, it balances between Yin and Yang and harmonizes the various meridians, organs and energies of the body. It utilizes the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and their physical and emotional correspondence through a basic & simple practice that is available for people of all ages, body types and fitness levels. Thus, Meridian Systems Yoga makes both yoga and TCM more widely accessible.
Meridian Systems Yoga asanas and asana sequences are designed to balance and harmonize the meridians of the Yin and yang partner organs of the body. In TCM the organs are classified as either Yin or Yang, according to their functionality and interrelation with each other and with the whole body. Thus, it is a system that achieves holistic balance at the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It allows practitioners to focus their practice on specific physical and emotional concerns.
