Yoga Therapy
~invites the mind and body to heal as one.
Yoga Therapy is a holistic healing art focused on the ancient teaching of
yoga while connecting with the mind/body balance to treat underlying
emotions that may be preventing the release of stress and tension
throughout the physical body. Yoga Therapy will help you to explore these
emotions and bring peace and equilibrium to your body through supported
postures, dialogue, breath work and guided meditation.

Now & Zen's theory is that all unresolved emotional experiences are held
deep within the cellular level of the body and over time those fears,
feelings, and misgivings, both positive and negative, could manifest within
the body as disease, pain, and/or tension.

Yoga Therapy works to:

create greater balance and harmony within the mental, physical and
emotional bodies.
focuses on relieving chronic pain as well as general aches and
tensions.
gain greater freedom of physical movement.
higher levels of clarity throughout their mind, body, and emotions.

Thai Yoga Massage
~a unique and powerful branch of yoga therapy.
Thai Yoga Massage is a very intense, yet relaxing, massage that is done fully
clothed and is practiced on a firm mat on the floor instead of a table. The
purpose of this massage is to act as an external stimulant to produce specific
internal results, which in turn stimulate the flow of energies within the body,
clearing any energy blockages and bringing the body, mind, and spirit
back into a state of balance. Thai Yoga Massage has been used to treat
conditions such as: back pain, digestive issues, migraines, menstrual
problems, and stress-related conditions.

Thai Yoga Massage combines:

flowing cadenced rhythmic massage.
reflexology
assisted restorative yoga postures involving gentle twisting and
stretching.
energetic bodywork.
balancing meditation.

Private Yoga Instruction
~for those who wish to have special individualized instruction.
Yoga is an entirely personalized practice and it is sometimes effective for
the student to participate in a one-on-one session. A specialized series of
yoga postures, or an asana series, is developed for the student with special
considerations for age, health issues, injury, and level of practice. Classes
can be either 60 or 90 minutes.

A private session can take place on-site or in the studio and is perfect for
those who:

are just beginning to explore yoga.
have reached a plateau in their yoga practice.
are suffering from an injury.

Swedish Massage
~ relax, detox, and stimulate.
Aside from general relaxation, Swedish Massage serves to increase the
oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. It involves
specific techniques designed to relax muscles by applying continuously
deeper pressure and always massaging in the same direction as the natural
flow of blood.

Having regular Swedish massages has been known to:
decrease recovery time from muscular strain
increase circulation without increasing the load to the heart
stretch muscles, tendons, and ligaments keeping them pliable and joints
moving freely, stimulates the skin which is our largest organ of toxin
elimination.

Reflexology
~pinpoint healing
Reflexology is a holistic healing therapy applied to the feet, hands and
occasionally the ears, and is structured around the belief that there are
specific reflex points on these three places that correspond to all of the parts
of the body including all of the major organs. It is believed that by using
specific pressure to stimulate or relax these certain areas can affect specific
body systems and their organs, and in turn, promote optimum health.

Reiki
~universal life force energy
The belief behind Reiki is that physical manifestations of pain are often
related to mental, emotional, and spiritual stresses. The practitioner uses
their own hands to channel energy from the universe to the client's body in
an effort to promote balance and healing. Reiki is an excellent tool for
aligning the chakras.

Polarity
~attraction, repulsion, and neutrality
Polarity is based on the universal principals of energy: attraction, repulsion,
and neutrality. With polarity, it is believed that positive and negative pulls
exist in each and every cell, and therefore, the practitioner uses gentle
touch to balance the positive and negative energies.

Meditation
~awareness
Private or group meditation classes are available to help the student to learn
more about meditation and pranayama (breath control). The techniques
learned and practiced will encourage the student to meditate while away
from the studio and to be more mindful and aware in their every-day Lives
