Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage
is an ancient healing art that has roots in the Indian healing system
of Ayurveda from over 2,500 years ago. It combines massage, stretching,
reflexology and joint mobilization in a rhythmic fashion.... promoting
a deep state of relaxation and calm. The holistic approach of Thai
Massage increases the flow of energy through the body and loosens
muscles and connective tissue, which helps to improve common conditions
such as back pain, arthritis, headaches, digestive difficulties
and stress-related conditions. It is performed while dressed in
comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and is sometimes referred to
as Thai-Assisted Yoga Therapy, Traditional Thai Massage or simply
Thai Massage. Some even call it "Yoga that is done to you"!
It is a wonderful and unique massage experience….very relaxing
yet revitalizing. You need to try it to believe it!
Reflexology
is a natural healing art whereby stimulation and pressure applied
to reflex areas on the feet, but also the hands and ears, facilitates
a sense of deep relaxation and tension release, including a renewal
of the mind and body, while simultaneously improving circulation
and the natural function and healing of the related areas of the
body. The reflex areas correlate with all organs, glands and areas
of the body. Reflexology provides these benefits without any adverse
side effects. The feet are the area of our bodies that typically
take the most "abuse", wear & tear, and neglect, therefore
the release of built-up tension in the feet is a very welcome treat.
They are the furthest point from our brains and therefore are usually
given the least attention, but WOW, when they do get the attention…what
a difference it can make in our body's ability to heal and restore
equilibrium. Reflexologists do not diagnose, cure specific conditions
or prescribe medications. Gentle Reflexology treatments are particularly
useful during pregnancy, since the added weight and pressure on
the feet often compound some of the normal discomforts and symptoms
of pregnancy. Reflexology is a perfect complement to your yoga practice.
Reiki
is a method of natural healing based on the application of "Universal
Life-Force Energy". It is a healing system that implies both
quantum physics and ancient metaphysics and is approximately 5000
years old. The Reiki Practitioner facilitates the energy flow either
by placing their hands on the recipient or healing from a distance.
The session is approximately 1 hour and the Reiki Practitioner uses
specific hand positions. The treatment is received on a massage table
with the client fully clothed. It is a great stress-reliever and a
very relaxing experience.
