ACU Yoga Detox

Feeling stressed? Energy levels low & sluggish? Suffering from frequent illness? Trying to lose weight with no luck? Overindulging over the holidays? Quitting a habit? Ready to clean your system out of toxins?Join Nicole Fugo, Five Element Acupuncturist & Yoga Teacher, for an exciting bridge of two powerful systems of healing- Yoga Practice and Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture. In this powerful 3-day workshop, we will pave the way for vitality and health through powerful cleansing of the body. The workshop is composed of 3 two hour classes combining the ancient wisdom of yogic practice through pranayama (breath work), kriyas (cleansing practices), and powerful asana flow with Yin Yoga and an extended savansana. After about 75 minutes of yoga flow, we will move internally into a very deep and healing Yin Series at which time, needles (upon your desire & consent) will be placed in the ears to activate deep cleansing pathways in the body. Five needles are placed in each ear (non-penetrating seed-beads are also an option) using a specific acupuncture protocol which has been used to effectively decrease stress, reduce toxicity in the body and help clean out any residual physical attachments to toxins. Participants have experienced not only great detoxifying effects but also relieve of chronic ailments also present in the body ranging from asthma to emotional imbalance to digestive disturbance. When asked what the effect of this specific acupuncture treatment, Nicole explains this acupuncture treatment metaphorically as "the deepest exhale you've ever taken." Please join us for this exciting bridge that has transformed so many and can be such a great tool to jumpstarting a resolution, lifestyle change or overall inspiration to start shifting into more health-centered lifestyle.
