Meridian-Focused Yoga: Total Body Restoration
Rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this specialized yoga approach taps into the intricate network of meridians, or energy pathways, to promote balance, vitality, and overall well-being.
Meridian-Focused Yoga combines the age-old traditions of yoga with the holistic insights of TCM, recognizing that the body's energy, or Qi, flows through specific channels. By targeting these meridians through intentional yoga poses, breathwork, and mindfulness, you can optimize the flow of energy, promoting physical, mental, and emotional equilibrium.
In this unique practice, each yoga pose is carefully selected to stimulate and open specific meridians, enhancing the circulation of Qi and addressing imbalances within the body. Each class associates itself with both a Yin and Yang Meridian, and using Yin poses mixed with acu-pressure points we will target each area of the body to bring optimal healing. You may find the follow classes with the organs assigned to each with their associated emotions.
Feb 4: Stomach/Spleen: Worry, Anxiety
March 3: Liver/Gallbladder: Anger, Kindness
April 7: Lungs/Large Intestine: Sadness, Grief
May 5: Kidney/Bladder: Fear, Wisdom
You do not have to attend all of the them to get the benefits, although each class will be unique and target certain parts of the body.
Investment: 15$ drop-in OR $50 for all four classes

Chakra Balancing with Sam Huff
As energetic beings, it is as important to take care of our energy bodies as it is to take a shower or brush our teeth, taking care of our physical bodies. As energetic beings living in physical bodies, we have human experiences. Every experience we have settles into our energetic bodies and has the potential to affect us in physical, emotional, or spiritual ways long after the experience has taken place.
Chakra balancing can help to clear energetic clutter, keeping us from feeling “stuck.” It can revitalize our energy, keeping us focused. It can center and ground us, keeping us from feeling disconnected.
Join us as we work through asana, meditation, and visualization.
About Sam:
Visiting one of Sam’s classes, you can expect to move thoughtfully through asana. You will be encouraged to notice how each pose feels in your body, in your breath, in your spirit. You can also expect to sweat. Samantha Huff is a RYT-200 who received her Teacher Training here at Evolve. Sam is also trained in yoga anatomy and neuromechanics. "In my classes, I strive to create an environment where my students feel encouraged to investigate how their bodies move and to be curious about what feels healthy and right for them. Then we connect that movement to breath and that's when the magic happens. My hope is my students leave class refueled, refreshed, relaxed, and able to breather deeper and love bigger."
