Partner Yoga Workshop
As a form of touch and connection, partner yoga transmits a true sense of caring and generates a form of trust when you depend on your partner for support in various postures (yoga asanas) leading to the art of surrender. In a partner yoga session, you will find yourself looking deep within to experiment, improve and share what you learn with others. Partner yoga is meant to be playful and fun to explore. When approaching the practice, one will find a sense of humor and creativity naturally taking place in your inner and outer environment. With this we find joy and a sense of well being.
Partner Yoga Workshop: COMING SOON!!Fee: $50.00 per couple (for two people who sign up together)
Thai Yoga Massage Workshop
Thai Yoga Massage for relaxation purposes _ the art of traditional Thai body work
The history of Thai Yoga massage dates back over 2,500 years to India. Traditional Thai body work is an ancient system of healing with its roots in Yoga, Ayurvedic nutrition and Mindful Meditation Practice. This unique and complete system of Yoga Massage combines rhythmic muscle compression, acupressure, gentle twisting, deep stretching, chakra balancing and mindfulness. It releases tension, increases vitality and creates wholeness of mind, body and spirit in both giver and receiver. Thai Yoga also incorporates other elements of Yoga, including restorative yoga, breath work, pranic healing, and meditation.
Thai Yoga massage works on energy pathways in the body to open places which are blocked. It relives places where there is too much energy flowing, bringing the body back into balance and harmony. Pressing, pulling, stretching, and manipulating the body effects the joints, muscles, and organs, improving flexibility, alleviating pain, and offering a deep sense of relaxation.
Thai Yoga massage creates a powerful release of stress and tension and increase in vitality and well-being.
