What is YIN YOGA?

Yin/Restorative Yoga Utilizes longer held postures to open joints and connective tissues, realign structure, and works to balance the energetic meridians which run through the hips, knees, and lower back.  The meridians are associated with the vital organs which govern our emotions and physical well-being.  With the restorative element, deep relaxation, stress relief, meditative awareness, quality of breath and the muscles involved with breathing are the major focus of investigation, strengthening and release. 

The practice of Yin/Restorative Yoga,  is welcoming and effective for any level of practitioner, regardless of age, size or fitness level. This practice is a perfect foundation to prepare the body-mind for the process of Chi Nei Tsang

JANELL HARTMAN, Seattle-based yoga instructor, has steadily practiced for nearly a decade and has taught since 2005. Her focus is helping students to subtlize self-awareness and tap into authentic strength by uniting body, mind, and emotions through breath and intelligent movement.

Chi Nei Tsang Fundamentals 6 day, 2 weekend workshop LEVEL 1A & 1B

No Prerequisites

The same material as the intensive retreat, this format  breaks the material into two segments. This allows an integration period and time to practice and experiment with CNT between the weekends. Students are able to approach the second round of teachings returning fresh and with some experience . It is my belief that the intensive retreat format makes for stronger personal healing and the weekend format makes for easier digestion of the presented material.

Testimonials from other retreats:

“As far as the workshop, it was incredible. I wanted another week of it. Andrew is extremely gifted in the way he teaches and presents information. Also, he is quite entertaining. My experience was priceless. It rocked my world. I enjoyed the warm loving energy. Everyone in the workshop had something so special about them. I can go on and on. I felt very comfortable, safe and supported.  Thank you Andrew.  I usually go traveling in the fall, but now I want to be close by to return to you fall retreat.” - Carla F, massage therapist

"I took Andrew's intro workshop last November at Breitenbush. It had both a professional and personal growth aspect to it for me. First of all, Breitenbush alone is incredible. The environment allowed me to slow down and reconnect with my health and emotions throughout the workshop. The food was wonderful and the entire place allows for relaxing and rejuvenating.

As far as CNT, I have only studied with Andrew at that retreat, but I am planning to attend the full ten days next November. Andrew is a natural teacher and it is accented through his love of CNT. He has a gentle nature about him, without airs, that makes a class room immediately warm and comfortable for even the most novice of students. He is very organized and uses the time wisely as there is a lot to cover. The schedule has you working eight hours a day. Starting with an hour of Chi Kung in the morning. ( which I learned to love) We had breaks for meals but it is jammed with learning. There is a great amount of healing that takes place as well. The work is amazing so you can't help but benefit from the bodywork applied by the students.  Most therapists do not even address the abdomen. When I returned I started doing CNT on my clients after the retreat as a brief  part of the normal session, many people starting booking full hour Chi Nei Tsang sessions. I now do 3 or 4 a week. I believe it is the CNT that sets me apart from the pack of therapists out there. People immediately begin to feel what is going on in their bodies when you work their abdomen. I hope you get the chance to experience the workshop. I personally had a shift in my perception of bodywork just at the intro workshop and it changed even my regular sessions. I began to understand energy more clearly and how it can be used." - Teri Green, LMP

 "Andrew Clauer teaches an excellent series of classes on what is clearly his passion and life's work Chi Nei Tsang. Upon doing my research while selecting a course in Chi Nei Tsang, Andrew stood out because of his focus on Qi Gong combined with Chi Nei Tsang. This Combination is necessary to strengthen the practitioners energy as well as to receive the most benefit from the techniques. Andrew understands Chinese medicine in the classical sense and brings his own vitality to the classroom to bring these ideas alive.

 The CNT workshops that Andrew teaches are suitable for both experienced practitioners of the healing arts as well as lay people interested in self care. A nice balance was kept between lecture time and hands on techniques. As an acupuncturist, I felt the material was relevant to my practice and something I would use every day. I have begun to use the CNT that I learned in my practice and my patients love it. I plan on continuing my studies with Andrew Clauer and would highly recommend his workshops." - Stephanie McGuirk, Doctor of Oriental Medicine

"The first thing I noticed at Andrew's Emotional Processing workshop was his dedication and passion for Chi Nei Tsang. Then I noticed his teaching method. After some talk to set the stage for a particular topic, he would clearly demonstrate a technique, welcome and answer all questions, and actively help participants individually with the subtle and not so subtle aspects of each technique. Andrew created a very friendly atmosphere, making the whole experience enjoyable and fulfilling. The real benefits were apparent after the workshop. Clients experienced better sessions and I was inspired to add some of Andrews teachings into my daily personal practice." - Warren Halperin, Certified Chi Nei Tsang Practitioner
