Founder of Do Good Human + Very Human Social Candis has spent fifteen years teaching embodied practices rooted in contemplative and somatic traditions. Her work explores the relationship between the body, culture and the systems we live inside.
Fall corresponds with the Metal element in Traditional East Asian Medicine and the Lung and Large Intestine meridians. We’ll start there, with Samara walking through the meridians and what this seasonal shift means in traditional medicine. Candis will then guide a fall equinox flow working through the chest, shoulders and arms along those channels, with a mix of movement and longer-held postures. We’ll finish in savasana with community acupuncture from Samara using points associated with the season.
