The ancient art of Thai Yoga Massage blends yoga asana with healing touch and the spiritual practice of "metta" or loving kindness. Pressure, stretches, rhythm and the breath connect the giver and receiver with the universe and allow for deep, whole-body healing.
The recipient wears comfortable clothing and lies on a mat or firm mattress. The receiver will be positioned in a variety of yoga-like positions during the massage, that is also combined with deep static and rhythmic pressing movements. The massage therapist uses a different sequences of techniques on receivers, who are either laying face up, laying face down, seated, or on their side.
In addition to her 10 years of Thai Massage experience Tara draws her understanding of the body from more then 20 years as an athlete, gymnast and circus entertainer, a BS in Exercise Science from Ithaca College as well as her personal practices of Yoga and Mediation.
Every being she greets is another chance to use the total of her life experiences, and her unique presence to allow for healing. Discovering the movement potential and deep inner workings of the human body is her life long path. She aims to infuse those she works on with the joy of experiencing their wholeness.
