Videos include mindfulness and meditation, energy medicine like qigong, vibrational sound healing, yin yoga with TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) informed sequences, and other ways of rebalancing energy centers and pathways of the body.

YIN YOGA is a slow, meditative, relaxed approach to compliment more active yoga, running, and mindfulness training.  It penetrates fascia in hard to reach areas around joints. We hold postures for 2-5 minutes with mild to moderate sensation in targeted areas. Rev. CQE integrates a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) energy approach to these yin yoga recordings working with 5 Element theory, meridians (energy pathways) and acupressure points to help release stress, fear, frustration, and grief while helping increase ease and healing peace.

• Yin Yoga to release stress, anger or anxiety (30 min.)

• Yin Yoga to aid relaxation and ease (WOOD element).

• Yin Yoga for Equanimity (EARTH element).

• Yin Yoga for Greater Effortless Effort (WATER element).
• Yin Yoga for living amid change, loss, and impermanence (METAL element).

TAKE A BREATH: 
Less polished practice videos filmed Spring 2020 as Rev. CQE and other educators scrambled to create care responses amid the initial phase of the pandemic impacting our campuses. Still, these videos contain goodness offering ways to ground, relax, and navigate amid these complicated times.
