If you have a commitment to your health, whether it is creating a healthy vibrant you or addressing an ongoing health concern or medical disorder, Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can help.

Traditional ancient medical practice:

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine is a 5000 year old medical practice aimed to address imbalances in the body that lead to a lack of health and disease. It views the body as an harmonious balance of vital energies that exist and travel through the meridians or channels, and can be influenced by both Acupuncture points (which are located on the meridian or channel pathways) and Chinese Herbs. Both are focused to treat the cause of the disorder and the symptoms and bring the body back to health.

The value of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine:

• treatment is assessed by way of a differential diagnosis of the individual's health and complaint/s
• focus is on the underlying cause/s together with the signs and symptoms
• natural solution to health and medical disorders
• addresses physical and emotional disorders
• promotes long term well being.

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is both a science and a technology. It combines kriyas (sequenced and timed movements and postures), together with mudras (specific hand positions), chanting (sound or naad yoga), bhandas (locks), breathing (pranayama) and meditation to clear and enhance subtle and physical energy.

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient form of yogic practice that deals most directly and quickly with the coherent and safe growth of inner awareness. It acts to propel us forward leaving behind cycles and patterns of behaviour that are no longer useful, giving us greater expansion on all levels.

Class Structure:

A class begins by aligning and lengthening the spine in a sitting position together with an opening chant to create a protective and energetic space. Yoga postures (asanas) follow to free and warm the spine. The class continues with a kriya that may involve fixed and/or dynamic movements together with mudras, bhandas and breathing techniques, and these are held for a set length of time. After the kriya the class continues with relaxation whilst listening to sound yoga, followed by a meditation. Both the kriya and meditation create very specific effects designed to clear and regenerate.
