Cleanse the body and gain new perspectives after the long winter hibernation at the Dower Wellness Spring Cleanse workshop held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., April 11, at West End Yoga studio, in Lancaster. Husband and wife team, Nick and Debra Dower, will introduce the five element theory from Chinese medicine along with alignment-based vinyasa yoga to promote the body’s natural ability to cleanse itself and to synchronize the energy, or qi, within our physical bodies with the qi of spring.

The workshop will include a discussion on the Chinese element wood, a springtime qi gong meditation, a complete alignment-based yoga class, auricular (on the ear) acupuncture and guided meditation in savasana. The acupuncture protocol and the yoga practice are designed precisely to stimulate the meridians within the body that are associated with the wood element and spring qi. According to the Dowers, utilizing yoga and acupuncture simultaneously in harmony with the rhythms of nature creates a unique and powerful way to activate internal healing energy.
