Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of healing in the world. The fact that acupuncture continues to be practiced today is strong proof of the power of this form of medicine. Acupuncture is the use of ultra-fine (as thin as one strand of hair) disposable needles, which are inserted into specific at specific points on the body to redirect the flow of energy within the body. There are over 350 points on the body. Each has its own specific function. Ultimately, acupuncture decreases the body's stress levels and inflammatory response, allowing the body to operate in a more healthy state. A typical session can last from fifteen to forty minutes and sometimes longer depending on the desired outcome. After a treatment, most patients feel relaxed and rejuvenated with partial or total relief of symptoms treated.

Yin Yoga is often described as a passive yoga practice. In this class we hold our poses longer, often between 2 and 5 minutes. Yin Yoga stretches the connective tissues around the body's joints and assists the flow of energy throughout the body. The longer holds in each pose allow us to access deeper layers of our fascia. Practicing Yin Yoga can help you to cultivate stillness, patience, and and self-compassion as well as revitalize and strengthen the many tissues of the body beyond your muscles.
