Partner Thai Yoga MassageLearn to guide a partner through a series of yoga postures and gentle stretching, helping them to feel relaxed and balanced.
During this session you will be introduced to the ancient healing technique that is Thai Yoga Massage. This beautiful and unique modality of bodywork is sometimes described as "having yoga done to you” and works with both the physical and energetic body.
The giver uses their bodyweight to apply acupressure along energy lines or specific points and with the help of gravity, guides the recipients' body into various yoga-like stretches. This nourishes the joints, stretches the muscles and clears the energy body. The whole body movements used to perform this dynamic and rhythmic massage, are just as therapeutic for the giver and is accessible to most no matter their level of flexibility.
Together in the session we gain skills to work with, by submerging ourselves in Metta (a pali word for loving-kindness & compassion), regardless of what our bodies allow in the various positions. Metta is the core element to this form of healing touch, thus the group is invited into meditation to ground and connect with their inner sight before and after the massage sequences are performed (Wai Khru).
If you are new to Thai Yoga massage or giving bodywork in general then you are especially welcomed in loving-kindness. Come with an open mind and heart, and enjoy learning a fun massage technique that will leave you feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and energized.
