Massage

Yoga and bodywork are synergistic and complimentary. They help you learn to listen to your inner voice, providing a time of introspection in which you can experience the flowing connection between the breath and the body to achieve maximum benefit. Beyond simply helping you "feel good", massage offers a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Massage therapy can relieve bodily tension by stretching and loosening muscle and connective tissue. At the same time, it can greatly improve blood flow to the heart and the movement of lymph fluid throughout the entire body. Massage can speed the removal of metabolic waste products resulting from exercise or inactivity, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells and tissues. Therapeutic massage can also stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, into the brain and nervous system. Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will bring the most benefits. At its best, massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.
