Thai Yoga Bodywork
An Ancient and Profound Practice
Thai Yoga Bodywork his its roots in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Meditation. This traditional healing art is an ancient modality that is as simple as it is profound. It offers rhythmic compressions using the feet, knees, palms, elbows, forearms and fingers that are blended with asana (stretching positions). This practice opens subtle channels, allowing dormant reservoirs of stagnant energy to flow freely once again. This not only creates a sense of balance and harmony, but also releases deep rooted tension and blocked emotion. People report benefits that range from stress and pain relief, to improved physical functioning, to spiritual and emotional well being.

Thai Yoga Bodywork his its roots in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Meditation. This traditional healing art is an ancient modality that is as simple as it is profound. While Thai Yoga masters had great understanding of the body’s physical and energetic systems, families and friends often practiced on each other as a folk art without having any professional knowledge. Either way, the results were deep and healing.
In this workshop, you will be guided through a sequence of exotic yogic partner stretches enhanced with rhythmic compression using hands, elbows, knees, and feet. Each participant will have a chance to experience the wonderful benefit of both giving and receiving a treatment. We will discover first hand how Thai Yoga Bodywork relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, and produces a profound state of rest and relaxation.
$75 per couple
(option to come as a single and find a partner at the workshop $40)
