How can we release deep tension and trauma stored in your body? This is a trauma-informed class to help you safely do this work. Dr Ryan Bemis will teach you simple mantras, movements and breathwork to incorporate into your journey towards balance. These exercises will prepare your myofascial fascia and nervous system to reset and release in the form of a gentle shaking. Acupuncture will be offered as an optional final touch, with a guided meditation leading you into a place of inner peace. Kundalini is the yoga of awareness, and this class is designed to help you on your path towards self-realization. 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.

Tension and trauma can lurk deep within our muscles and nervous system muscles, and can contribute to our emotional highs and lows, and impact our entire health. Our crazy world leaves us with pain, depression, anxiety, overthinking, difficulty focusing, fatigue and autoimmune illness.
How can we safely and gently learn from, work with, be with your big & powerful energy, and at the same time release old stories we cling to so we can be our most resilient self? How can we hold space for ourselves, and everyone else in the crazy world, as we feel the feels of up and down, all the intense and subtle, sometimes even overwhelming energetic, mood and emotional states in between?
At this online, workshop, Crossroads Acupuncture will raise funds for our Barefoot medicine movement in Guatemala, where we work with survivors of genocide. Donate whatever you can: $10 or more, to support the modern day heroes we support through our non-profit organization. Facilitated by Ryan Bemis, you’ll be step-by-step instructions in Trauma and Tension Release Exercises (TRE).
You’ll leave 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.
We offer this as a trauma-informed, non-judgmental space. 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.

Cyrus, Crossroads Patient
After an absolute horror story involving western medicine, I truly lost myself and was thrown into a world of pain. I felt like a new person after the first appointment. Dr Ryan Bemis has been a huge factor on helping me get my life back.

Because Everyone Deserves Access to Healing
We offer bilingual, trauma-informed services in an affordable way. Insurance covers most of our care, and clients pay an average of $45 per session. We put healing within reach for everyday people across Las Cruces and the Borderlands.
Resilience Begins With Connection
“Yoga, meditation, and acupuncture have been some of the most powerful tools in my own healing—and in supporting others in our community. In a world of trauma, injustice, and disconnection, we’re all searching for freedom. We don’t have to do it alone. These tools help us build resilience—especially in these dark times and out of greatest struggles.”

the acu nap experience
Most common side effect: feeling of deep calm
-
Our sessions at our Las Cruces clinic include what we lovingly call an “Acu-Nap”—a deep rest that happens during acupuncture.
-
You’ll relax in a safe, quiet space with gentle needle placement that helps down-regulate your nervous system.
-
People often describe it as peaceful, grounding, and surprisingly rejuvenating.
-
Whether you’re dealing with pain, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, this is a moment to just be—and let your body do what it knows how to do: heal.
Trigger Point Acupuncture: A Patient's Story
Trust me: if you’re going to do dry needling/Trigger Point Therapy, you’re MUCH better off with an experienced practitioner with a strong grounding in traditional Chinese acupuncture and a good needling technique, like Ryan at Crossroads.
— Justin, patient of Dr. Bemis
"When you come in for acupuncture here at our clinic, you’re getting help for yourself, and you’re helping us help other community health workers who are on the front lines in their own underserved communities.”
— Ryan Bemis, our acupuncturist in July 2021's edition of Neighbors Magazine!
