CHINA bound till 16.08 !!
Hello 👋
It’s been 2 and half weeks since I’ve been back in China spending time with my lovely mum. It’s 40+ degree heat in the big city but I’m having a great time all around 🫶
My original plan, I would be home and back teaching in the studio by Aug 3rd, but this has been delayed by another 2 weeks due to the TCM Acupuncture course I’m doing.
Slightly hiccup but positive one, it’s 5 instead of 2 weeks( I originally misunderstood) of solid study and practical work at the best traditional Chinese medicine university in China.
What started as a holiday leisure course just getting very serious! I found myself immersed with teaching directly from the top practising TCM doctors..
Just finished 2 weeks of theory study, from the founding philosophy of TCM ( yin & yang, 5 spirits MARIT AKINTEWE you would love this ) to human anatomy ( further solidifying my yoga anatomy knowledge and one of my fav topic , taught by the top physio therapist for Chinese olympians) meridian lines and acupuncture points ( I certainly feel more comfortable and confident in what I used to talk about in my seasonal yoga class 🙂 … soooo much fascinating wisdom and knowledge slowly uncovered and bubbling away in me…
I am beyond excited to be here and so thrilled I’m doing this course to build a natural bridge between my heritage wisdom and my line of work in yoga and natural healing
💖💖💖
So 3 more weeks of practical study including acupuncture , but also moxibustion, guasha, cupping… all the TCM manual treatments widely used in the Chinese hospital together with western medicine, to promote body’s natural healing power!
I apologies to my lovely clients for my prolonged absence and thank Caroline Carrick and her lovely Tuesday evening class to keep the studio and clients going!
I will share more of my journey here until I am back in the studio, thanks for your patience and unwavering support as always
Love ,
Anni
🙏🙏🙏
