Not a workshop but definitely worth checking out!
A great friend of the studio, Len Brady, is offering FREE classes twice a week for beginners.
(Mondays
4-5:15pm
and
Saturdays
4-5:15pm)
Len is willing to share his passion for yoga with those folks who are completely new to yoga. If you've been practicing for a while you probably remember that first yoga class.
'I am supposed to put my foot where?'
'What's the deal with all the attention to my breathing?'
'If down dog is really a resting position, I must be doing something wrong!'
This is the kind of stuff that can unfortunately keep folks from coming to a class in the first place. Len's designed this class for the complete novice. No stupid questions, no expectations, just patient instruction and tons of explanation.
We all know people who are a little intimidated by a yoga class, this is the perfect thing for them!
(see Len's beginner workshops listed in the column to the left too!)

Thai Yoga Massage is ancient bodywork from Thailand that is an interactive
and unique massage modality developed over many centuries in Thai medical
hospitals and temples by leading healing professionals. With extensive
roots in Indian healing arts (Ayurveda and Yoga), Thai massage uniquely
combines the best in Asian techniques and offers a preventative approach to
health.
Thai Yoga Massage (also called, “Nuad Phaen Boran”) is a compassionate
healing approach to wellness that amazingly fuses different techniques and
modalities into its own interactive and highly unique style. Such
techniques include: reflexology, acupressure, passive stretching,
meditation, and aromatherapy. This “Lazy Man’s Yoga is very
therapeutic for opening and transforming the body, mind, and spirit into a place of
relaxation and peace.
Why?
Thai Yoga Massage helps to:
--lengthen muscles through progressive, assisted stretching
--increase the joint’s range of motion
--bolster immune system health and function
--improve circulation
--balance flow of energy in the body
--relax muscle tension
--balance the nervous system and improve nervous system disorders
--promote proper functioning of the sinuses, skin, respiratory system, heart, and digestion
How?
Thai Yoga Massage is delivered on a futon-like mat on the floor, and the
receiver is fully clothed during the whole massage. We provide Thai
clothing for the receiver to wear during the session. Textured Motion Thai
Yoga Massage also includes the use of herbal treatments via Thai Herbal
Compresses. These medicinal herbal packs include 15 different herbs and
flowers, which are grown and dried in Thailand. They are wrapped in
fabric, steamed, and then pressed along the receiver’s body throughout the
massage. The herbal compresses are usually an add-on in Thailand and at spas,
But it is an essential part of the Textured Motion Thai Massage style. The
receiver leaves feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from the warmed herbal
remedies.
