Saturday, August 8th. 4pm to 5:30pm.

Life is lived in cycles. We have seasons of growth and seasons of challenge. Seasons of creating and seasons of letting go. But between every ending and every beginning lies a pause or a moment of transition where what was, slowly gives way to what will become.

This is the space between.

As Winter begins to give way to Spring, there's often a quiet temptation to rush ahead and seek more energy, more momentum, more movement. But nature rarely works that way. Nature reminds us that transition isn't a single moment. It doesn't happen the day Winter ends or Spring begins. Change unfolds gradually, often long before we can see it.

The first flower of Spring isn't the beginning of growth, it's the visible expression of everything that happened during Winter. Beneath the surface, energy has been gathering, roots have been strengthening, and life has been quietly preparing for what comes next.

Growth is only possible because restoration came first.

This Yin & Pins honours that space. Not as empty time, but as essential time. The space where the body quietly does its most important work.

Deep rest is an active process. It's where the nervous system recalibrates, tissues repair, and our deeper reserves begin to replenish. It's where healing happens. It's where resilience is rebuilt.

This Yin & Pins is a reminder that what is visible is only possible because of the unseen work that came before it.

So, as we prepare to move into the energy of Spring, our invitation for you is simple: not to do more, but to receive more. To trust that sometimes the most important thing we can do for our growth... is to allow ourselves the space to restore.

A seasonal yin yoga & acupuncture experience, hosted by Dr. Eleisha Nylund & Laura Elenbaas.

Winter is a season of restoration, a deep returning inward. In Chinese Medicine, this season is associated with the Water element, & the Kidney & Bladder meridians, which govern vitality, resilience, the nervous system, & our capacity to rest, restore, & conserve energy.

This Yin & Pins is a carefully curated experience combining the ancient practices of yin yoga & acupuncture to support the body & mind through this seasonal shift.

Yin yoga invites us to slow down through long-held, floor-based postures that gently open the body’s deeper connective tissues, regulate the nervous system, & nourish the meridian pathways.

Acupuncture works alongside this by stimulating specific points to support the smooth flow of Qi, strengthen the body’s deeper reserves, encourage balance, & promote deep restoration.

Together, these practices create a powerful yet grounding environment for stillness, nourishment, regulation, & reconnection.

An invitation to soften into Winter’s rhythm.

Laura and Dr. El invite you to join us for another Yin & Pins. This session is centred around the hips and pelvis, an area where many of us hold tension, emotion, and protective guarding. Through long-held yin postures and gentle acupuncture, we can create space for release, circulation, and deep rest.

The hips are more than just a physical structure, they are a meeting place of stability and vulnerability. A place where we store stress, where we brace, and where we hold.

Together, we’ll explore:
– Gentle hip-opening yin shapes to target deep connective tissue.
– Acupuncture to support relaxation, blood flow to the pelvis and hips, and nervous system regulation.
– A calm, grounded space to reconnect with your body in a supportive environment.

This session is especially supportive for women experiencing pelvic tension, menstrual discomfort, or a sense of holding within the body. That said, no specific condition is required. This is a space for anyone who feels called to soften and reconnect with this area.

For your safety, this session may not be suitable if you are in days 1–3 of menstruation, have had lower abdominal surgery within the past 10 weeks, or are under 12 weeks pregnant.

Autumn is a time of transition, a turning inward. In Chinese Medicine, this season is associated with the Metal element, & the Lung & Large Intestine meridians, which govern breath, immunity, boundaries, & our capacity to let go.
