Energy Medicine Yoga is an integrative practice, uniting the ancient healing methods of energy medicine and the time-honored tradition of yoga. This integration works to align and balance the body’s nine energy systems that form the foundation for our health. This includes the chakras in Indian medicine and the meridians in Chinese medicine. When these energy systems are in balance, they help to keep you strong, vital, healthy and focused. They especially address your immune, endocrine, and lymphatic systems.

Classic yoga postures, movement, breath and meditation are interwoven with ancient traditional healing modalities. These modalities may include tapping, neurolymphatic and neurovascular self-massage, holds to calm and regulate the body’s stress responses, and much more. These techniques are your gateway to communicating with the body in its own language, activating its natural healing intelligence. By focusing on your body as pure energy, you are empowered to transform and flow through life, radiant and vibrant.

Yoga instructor Annette Hyde is a Level 2 Certified Energy Medicine Yoga (EMY) instructor. The EMY workshops she leads focus on supporting your body’s energy systems and overall health through simple practices.

As an example, a method to relieve stress is to place your hand over your forehead, like taking your temperature.  After a few moments, you should feel more grounded. Movements such as this are applied to certain points on the body — what EMY yoga founder Lauren Walker calls the OMG points. When you cover these points, you are interrupting the fight or flight response. It allows you to think more clearly.
