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.

The Energetics of Winter

Winter is a season of deep restoration, a returning inward. In Chinese Medicine, this season is associated with the Water element, & the Kidney & Bladder meridians, which govern our reserves of energy, resilience, nervous system regulation, water metabolism, & capacity to adapt to life’s demands.

The Water element teaches us the importance of conservation. Just as nature slows, retreats, & restores beneath the surface during Winter, we too are invited to soften our pace, seek stillness, & replenish what has been depleted.

The Kidneys are considered the foundation of vitality — deeply connected to growth, reproduction, hormones, bones, the brain, ageing, & the body’s deeper constitutional strength. On an emotional & spiritual level, the Water element is associated with fear, willpower, introspection, wisdom, & our ability to move through life with steadiness & trust.

When supported, Water gives us resilience, adaptability, groundedness, & the capacity to move with life rather than against it. But when depleted, we may experience fatigue, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, hormonal imbalance, feelings of fear or insecurity, or the sense that we are constantly running on empty.

Winter asks us to honour rest not as laziness, but as essential medicine. It is a season for nourishment, reflection, restoration, & reconnecting to the deeper reserves that sustain us through all seasons of life.
