Our practice today focuses on the endocrine system and specifically on the thyroid gland - working to keep it healthy and bring it back to balance. In Western medicine and yoga we work with the chest, throat and neck to bring balance to this area. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, thyroid issues are caused by an imbalance between the fire and water elements. So in this practice we will be blending Eastern and Western approaches - working with the Heart, Liver and Kidney meridians; throat, chest and neck - to bring balance and healing to this very important gland!
