the way of yin in-person workshops
Two Series.
One Wheel.
SoLuna: Seasonal Attunement Through East Asian Medicine and Other Earth-Based Traditions
Womb Ways (A Womb School Series): Cyclical Body Wisdom & Practices
Held in circle at Claremont Yoga, Claremont, CA
in Los Angeles County
Sky, Body & Seasons
Everything moves in cycles, the sun and moon overhead, and the blood and breath within you. SoLuna follows the year's turning, the solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days shared by East Asian Medicine and earth-based traditions alike. Womb Ways follows the body's own turning, the phases of the menstrual cycle and the seasons of life.
Two circles, same wheel. Come to one workshop, or come to them all, and watch how closely they speak to each other. Our bodies are intimately connected to the celestial bodies in the sky as well as Earth's turnings. I look forward to exploring this in circle with you.

The Alchemy of Perimenopause
In East Asian Medicine, perimenopause is considered our Autumn years, governed by the Metal element. Our Metal organs, the Lung and Large Intestine, help us with breath, boundaries, and refinement, taking in, keeping what's needed, and letting go of the rest.
In the West, this life stage is so often framed as decline. East Asian Medicine holds it differently. This path isn't decline, it's distillation, gathering everything a whole life has grown in you and refining it down to what's essential.

Ancestral Waters: Samhain Circle
Samhain, pronounced SAH-win, has long marked the thinning of the veil, the night when the boundary between the living and the dead grows soft. In East Asian Medicine, this same moment marks the turn from the element of Metal into Water, autumn's last light settling into winter's dark. This seasonal transition sits between two solar terms, Frost's Descent and The Beginning of Winter, and belongs to the Spirit of Po, housed in the Lungs, and the Spirit of Zhi, our will and ancestral wisdom, housed in the Kidneys. Come sit in the dark with us, where it's often easiest to see most clearly.

Menstrual Attunement Through EAM
Your menstrual cycle is a barometer of your health and vitality, a monthly readout of what's actually happening underneath everything else. In East Asian Medicine, menstruation is considered one of the three Golden Opportunities, alongside postpartum and perimenopause, moments the body offers us to strengthen our constitution at the root.
Shen, our spirit, lives in the Blood. During your bleed, you're in an altered, seeing state, closer to your own intuition than almost any other point in your cycle.

Enter the Wheel
Two circles, same wheel. Choose the one that's calling you today or walk both and watch how they meet.
I
SoLuna
Aligned with the year's major turning points, the solstices, equinoxes, and Lunar New Year, each gathering explores the qi of the season, the organs asking for our attention, and seasonal remedies worth keeping close, alongside acupressure and qigong practice suited to the moment in the year.
II
Womb Ways
Womb School series that guides you through every phase of the menstrual cycle and life cycles, from menarche, postpartum, and (peri)menopause, through the lens of the Five Elements, the seasons, and the wisdom already held in the womb.
YOUR PRACTITIONER
Meet Your Guide
Kris González, DAcCHM, is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, a practitioner of the Nourishing Life Tradition, 養生 yǎng shēng, and the founder of The Way of Yin. Her work exists to bridge a real gap: reproductive health education that actually draws on timeless wisdom, not just modern clinical language stripped of context.
Kris teaches through the lens of the 7 Year Cycles, from menarche to menopause and beyond, and holds a simple, guiding belief: your womb is a microcosm of earth's seasons and the moon's phases. Whatever threshold you're standing at, first period, menstruating years, postpartum, perimenopause, or the second spring of menopause, she's spent her career helping people meet it with more ease, more literacy, and more reverence for what the body already knows.
SoLuna and Womb Ways are that same belief, brought into a room together. One follows the sky's turning, the other follows the body's, and Kris leads both in person, right here in Claremont, so the wisdom she's spent years teaching online finally has a circle to land in.
