All Thai'd Up

Sometimes referred to as lazy man's yoga, Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art with origins in Ayurvedic Medicine, Yoga, and Buddhism.  It has evolved into a unique and magical combination of deep stretching, rhythmic compression, soft-tissue manipulation, gentle rocking, energy balancing, and acupressure.  This style of bodywork is far different from any other.  Instead of feeling groggy and ready for a nap afterwards, Thai Yoga Massage leaves the client feeling alive and rejuvenated, not to mention elongated and free from pain.  Unlike most forms of massage, this specific modality works the meridians of the body.  These are the same lines used in acupuncture.  This work frees energy that has become blocked and stagnant.  Thai yoga massage does not focus solely on where the client is experiencing pain, but rather where the pain is originating from.  Like all holistic approaches, it treats the cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.  What can one expect from a Thai Yoga Massage session?  Relaxation, Better Sleep, Better Posture, Detoxification, Stress Relief, Enhanced Mood, Clarity of the Mind, A Deeper Connection to Self, and so much more!  Whether you are a devoted yogi or just someone looking to improve your health and flexibility, Thai Yoga Massage is right for you!  This is great for those who want deep glute work, but feel more comfortable clothed.  There are no greasy creams or oils used.  Clients should arrive for their session in comfortable clothing, such as yoga attire, or sweat pants.  So what are you waiting for?  Better health is an appointment away.  Check out my website for more information - www.urban-awakening.com
