A Relaxing Afternoon of Thai Yoga Massage with Daniel Orlansky
Sunday – March 11th – 2-5pm – $35
Thai Yoga Massage draws from an ancient tradition that has been used by the peoples of Thailand for healing in everyday life. Through a combination of acupressure, basic hatha yoga postures, and reflexology, the Thai Yoga therapist applies deep compression techniques, gentle stretching, and pressure point activation to the major energy pathways, or “Sen” lines, of the body. These lines are similar to the meridian lines practiced in Chinese acupuncture but more closely resemble the “nadis” of the Ayurvedic tradition of India.
The Four Divine States of Mind of Buddhist teachings are focused on by the practitioner – compassion, loving kindness (Metta), joy and equanimity.
In this workshop we will explore the foundation principles and practices of this healing art form, and examine the common themes this form of bodywork shares with hatha yoga. Participants will learn a basic sequence of Thai Yoga Massage that will address all parts of the body, with the goal of balancing and moving Prana in the body/mind. Feel free to attend by yourself, or with a friend.
