The Four Gates

Katonah Restorative

start Your 7 Day Trial

In this restorative practice we utilize a pair of acupressure points called the four gates, they are the source point of the liver channel, "great rushing", and the source point of the large intestine channel, "joining valley." Stimulating these points within postures opens these gates in order to support the activation of qi and blood as well as their free and smooth passage throughout the body, which helps to alleviate stuck or stagnant energy.
