Yin Rising 2026:

Many women experience painful menstruation, emotional intensity, hormonal irregularity, fertility or breast health concerns, or the shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Yin Rising approaches these experiences as signals — the body asking for a different pace, deeper listening, and more sustainable support.

Through short lectures and embodied teaching, Stephanie introduces the key meridians, organ systems, and extraordinary vessels involved in women’s health, with attention to psychological and emotional patterning, and long-term vitality. You’ll learn how the female energy body differs from the male body, and how cultivating yin sensitivity supports resilience, intuition, and inner authority.

The course includes three Qigong practices supporting menstrual health, fertility & breast health, and menopause. Each practice is appropriate at any age and emphasizes the extraordinary vessels — deep energetic pathways that regulate hormones, emotional steadiness, and vitality across the lifespan.

You will also participate in three extended, floor-based energetic practices using long, supported postures and acupressure. These sessions are slow and settling, supporting integration in the body. Throughout the month, the ancient myth of Inanna is woven through the practices as a symbolic companion for understanding cycles of depletion, restoration, and return as they are lived in the body.
