[Fridays 8:30am @ 424 N Main Las Cruces NM]
This breath-centered flow is designed to prepare the mind and body to let go into a gentle somatic and myofascial release. Also known as Trauma and Tension Release Exercises (TRE), this is designed to help you heal from trauma, chronic stress, and injury. You’ll also get a chance to experience the “group qi” of community acupuncture, with calming and grounding acupuncture points applied by Ryan Bemis, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, to support your integration and shavasana experience. All levels of experience in yoga and physical ability are welcome. Dr. Bemis will be available to offer you a free consult, as well, if you are interested in learning more about getting acupuncture.

11 /3 @ 7pm Dwell Yoga 424 N Main
11/5 @ 8pm Downtown Plaza Las Cruces
At this election time in the USA, anxiety is high, and the growing fear of violence in our world can leave us isolated from community. Crossroads Acupuncture in partnership with the Downtown Las Cruces Partnership and Dwell Yoga will offer this free community acupuncture for you to find your refuge amidst election anxiety, and for people to come together as a community and bring our focus of peace within, and around the world.
No matter who you vote for, we will offer this space free, no cost, for anyone that votes, plans to vote, or would like to vote. Acupuncture is just optional, and you are welcome to come sit alongside us without receiving the acupuncture as well. Treatments will be offered by Dr. Ryan Bemis alongside local acudetox community workers. We will offer a gentle placement of tiny needles around points on the body to help you find your inner calm and your grounded self, so you can leave more present during these chaotic times.
(NOTES: If you don’t want the acupuncture, you can still come and join us for the meditation. If you cannot vote, but would like to vote, you are welcome as well!).

10/10 5pm MDT World Mental Health Day
Tension and trauma can lurk deep within our muscles and nervous system muscles, and can contribute to our emotional highs and lows, or as some people experience them as “extreme states.” This can look like pain, depression, anxiety, overthinking, hyperactivity, difficulty focusing, psychosis or altered and neurodivergent states.
How can we safely and gently learn from, work with, be with this big energy, and release old stories we cling to so we can be our most resilient self? How can we hold space for ourselves as we move through “extreme” feelings of up and down, all the intense and subtle, sometimes even overwhelming energetic, mood and emotional states in between? How can we transcend the labels, stories, and diagnoses that you have taken on from the western psychiatric system?
At this new, online, workshop, Crossroads Acupuncture will celebrate World Mental Health Day during the month of October by offering this free for anyone who has struggled with mental illness. You’ll learn how to allow your body to literally shake off past stories, trauma and help you rediscover yourself anew. Facilitated by Ryan Bemis and Amabel Narvaez, you’ll be step-by-step instructions in Trauma and Tension Release Exercises (TRE).
You’ll leave this workshop with new tools for you to safely co-regulate your nervous system through movement, breathing, and stillness on your own, on a regular basis. Most people experience deep relaxation, feeling grounded, and increased mental clarity.
This special free online space will offer you a trauma-informed, non-judgmental space to take a step towards transcending the stigma of mental illness and taking a step towards mental wellness. You may log in anonymously if you choose to do so, or keep your camera turned off during the exercises.
This class will be offered online with a zoom link provided prior to the class.
