THAI YOGA MASSAGE TASTER – 2 hour workshop

Join Marisa Wolfe for a Thai Yoga Massage Taster, learning more about this ancient form and learning to give a 20 minute Thai Yoga Therapy Session in the Lotus Palm style to your friends and loved ones. For those of you that don’t yet know… Thai Yoga Therapy is an accessible form of assisted hatha yoga (sometimes called “the lazy man’s yoga), combining meditation, yoga, and compassion to facilitate relaxation in body, mind, and soul. You will learn how to move someone’s body into familiar yoga postures with ease and grace, how to access their muscles to assist in deeper relaxation, and how to project metta (loving-kindness) throughout. Through both giving and receiving you will gain a new awareness of your body and self. No bodywork or yoga experience necessary. Everyone will be expected to both give and receive in this interactive workshop. Come share the joy!

Note to yoga teachers – the practice of Thai Yoga Therapy can give you new insight into evaluating bodily tensions within a class setting and giving more effective, safe assists. I highly recommend this practice to all yoga teachers for this reason and am happy to address this topic in class upon request.

MARISA WOLFE TEACHES KRIPALU YOGA WITH A VINIYOGA INFLUENCE, FOR A GENTLE YOGA PRACTICE THAT FOCUSES ON THE BREATH, APPROPRIATE ALIGNMENT AND DEVELOPING INWARD FOCUS, WHILE RESPECTING THE LIMITS AND CAPABILITIES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL. As a Thai Yoga Therapist in the Lotus Palm Style, these same concepts imbue her bodywork sessions to help individuals feel greater physical, mental and emotional balance. MARISA SAYS, “WE ALL WORK REALLY HARD IN LIFE, BUT WE FORGET THAT RELAXATION IS PRODUCTIVE AND TAKES PRACTICE. IT’S IMPORTANT TO REST. NOT JUST LIE DOWN, BUT REALLY REST—BODY, MIND, AND SOUL. I PRACTICE YOGA TO WORK OUT THE ‘STUFF’ THAT I HOLD IN MY BODY, TO KEEP MY MIND CLEARER. YOGA HELPS ME SEE THE JOY IN LIFE, AND AS A TEACHER and therapist, I HELP OTHERS MAKE THE SAME JOURNEY.”
