thai yoga bodywork
with andrea vallario
Thai Yoga Massage is a healing art based on Ayurvedic medicine and yoga. This dynamic bodywork focuses on balancing the physical and energetic bodies of the receiver. A treatment works the entire body focusing on the ‘sen’ lines, activation of acupressure points, and simple yoga stretches. A treatment is given on a futon mat, on the floor, while the receiver remains fully clothed. No oils are used. Techniques include gentle moving or rocking the body while utilizing thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, feet, or full body weight to apply pressure. Movement is synchronized with the breath of the practitioner and receiver. Thai Yoga Massage can increase your range of motion, eliminate chronic pain, relieve insomnia, indigestion and improve over-all circulation.
fee ~ $75 for 1 hr session
$110 for 1.5 hr. session
