 Thai Yoga massage creates an energetic dance between giver and receiver. It combines deep rhythmic acupressure to muscles and sen (energy) lines while moving the body into assisted stretches and yoga postures.

It is practiced on a mat on the ground, without the use of oils or lotions, and the receiver is fully clothed during the session. A treatment can range from slow, gentle movements to deep stretches and compression, depending on the current needs of the receiver. It is truly accessible for all body types and is beneficial for almost all physical conditions.

 

The energetic dance inherent in a Thai Yoga session leaves the receiver feeling both relaxed and energized. There is often a sensing of grounding and feeling ‘back in one’s body.’ Many people have a hard time returning to the standard table massage after receiving their first Thai session! In this workshop we will be opening hips and heart.

As a yoga instructor, this is a wonderful addition to your teaching practice and helps with hands on adjustments in classes. For the yoga student these are wonderful techniques to take home to spoil your loved ones with.

Attendance Fees: $35 Per Person IN ADVANCE / $40 Per Person Day Of

He is an honors graduate of Tufts University and spent the first few years after college working in holistic and residential therapeutic communities.

Kripalu’s training emphasized the importance of loving presence that is at the center of all healing exchanges, and every one of Justin’s massages is a testament to that.
