Thai Yoga Massage
My specialized Thai yoga massages are performed on a mat on the floor. I will first guide you through a series of yoga postures and gentle stretching while palming and thumbing along the body's "sen" (energy lines) and pressure points. This relieves muscular tension, increases circulation and balances the body by unblocking and dispersing energy.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is an ancient technique that use cups of various sizes to suction areas of skin and muscle. This causes the tissue beneath the cup to be drawn up and swell causing increase in blood flow to affected area. Cupping is good for overall relaxation, releases muscle tension and moves blood and Qi stagnation.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy simply explained is a form of comprehensive and integrative working model to address all aspects of health and well-being – both for maintaining health and resolving conditions of ill health. Traditionally, it combines Yoga and Ayurveda – my style of Yoga Therapy includes the former two, Meridian Acupressure Therapy, Myofascial Release, CBT, and Mindfulness. The basis of this model explains how six factors – diet, environment, lifestyle, Asana, Pranayama and CBT – can be used to restore balance to both body and mind. The focus is salutogenesis, the process of becoming healthy and whole on the multiple layers of the human system.
Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship
Have you successfully completed your first yoga teacher training and are now at a loss as to what to do next? You are not the only one!
Many graduates have a profound knowledge of yoga after their training, but have difficulties in implementing this knowledge in their teaching. This is because often the trainings do not teach all the necessary skills to step into this responsible role and introduce others to this profound, millennia-old and valuable practice.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a specialized massage technique that focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs throughout the body. This effective approach aims to release tightness and restrictions within the fascia, allowing for greater flexibility and range of motion, improved circulation, enhance recovery from injuries and operations, reduced pain and improve posture and over-all health and performance. Slow, sustained, and gentle pressure will be used to stretch to release adhesions and promote hydration of the fascia in the affected areas. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking relief from everyday stress, our myofascial release massage is tailored to meet your specific needs.
Trigger Point & Myofascial Pain Treatment
Trigger points are small knots or bumps in the muscle tissue just under the skin. Most of the time, when you press on one, there is no pain or tenderness. Other times, putting pressure on a trigger point causes sensitivity or even significant pain. These usually occur following an injury or overuse. When the pain persists and worsens, even after rest and at-home therapies, it may lead to myofascial pain syndrome. Treatment depends on your symptoms and may include exercises, stretching, massages, or IASTM or Myofascial Decompression of the trigger points.
