As part of my yoga practice with both children and grown ups I increasingly use techniques which work with the acupressure points around the body, stimulating and restoring the body’s natural energies. These energy systems are referred to in many cultures around the world. These energy channels or meridians, allow the chi or prana (energy) to flow freely through the body. In yoga, any blocks in energy around the body lead to emotional imbalance as well as physical fatigue. As well as the balancing, stretching and twisting postures (asanas), these simple energy balancing techniques will leave you feeling calm and revitalised as well as help with clarity and concentration.
