Our Works...

Our gifts and talents are to help people listen to their Selves through the practice of yoga and through the exchange of massage. Yoga teaches the mind, body, spirit connection. The breath leads us to stillness; to center. The movements help us feel connected to our body. The opening through stretching allows the energy of life to flow through us more freely. The strengthening allows us to tap into our inner power to stand strong in who we are. In our work, we are aware of the importance of strong, balanced posture and what that reflects in us. Yoga helps to lengthen what needs to be longer, to strengthen what needs to be stronger, to tap into our inner power and free our spirit through the breath. We then stand tall, balanced, centered, and strong.

The Massage we offer also assists people to be aware of their bodies. To accept loving touch with no emotional attachment. A great gift of love to your Self. We understand that everything is energy. Our bodies are the manifestation of the energy we are emitting, a reflection of our feelings and beliefs. We understand the way energy moves in the body, that muscles can turn off where the energy is not flowing well through it and throws the rest of the body out of balance. Together, we can simply turn the muscle back on and restore balance. If it has been a long-standing pattern, it may take a while before the pattern is reprogrammed to strength instead of weakness. We understand “The Amazing Balancing Act” the body does at all times. It is constantly seeking balance and always does its best with the tools it has to work with. (If a part of the body is not functioning to its fullest potential, the other parts will compensate to the best of their ability to restore balance in the body). It truly is an amazing feat. Knowing this, it helps us to understand what is going on when our clients come in with certain symptoms. We know better than to just “rub where it hurts”. If we did that, we would be doing you a great disservice. When we follow the great balancing act in the body, we find places that may be sore to the touch that a person wasn’t aware of, that wasn’t screaming as loud as the opposing muscles, but most likely is why the imbalance has occurred. All this we have gathered and mastered to help you feel better. Because “there is nothing more important than feeling better” as Abraham-Hicks says.

Emotions are very important when working with the body. When people experience a trauma and do not process through those emotions to a full release or complete letting go, the trauma remains in your body and Being until they do get released. These holdings (of emotions) create patterns in the body. They might show up as pain, as tension, as weakness, etc… Our work may be to assist one to become aware of this holding pattern and to create a safe environment to let it go, to fully release it. This may happen in a split second and it’s over, it may happen as a rush of emotions (crying, laughing, screaming, etc…), it may take several 'letting goes'. We have seen it time and time again, where after the release, the pain is gone, or is much better and it continues to improve through that awareness. Imagine the freedom! To let yourself be expressed fully! Creating more space in your body for joy and vitality to flow instead of being crowded with baggage. It’s cleaning house, your house!

With this knowledge and growth, a person is empowered to know "All is Well".  They can understand "the feeling I’m having in my body is trying to tell me this and I don’t have to get scared of what it might be. I understand my body better and I also know it’s OK to ask for help and get the help I need, but I can let go of the fear."

We are part of the great awakening that is going on on our planet. We are opening to our greatness as so many others are. We want to assist others that also want to experience and share their greatness. We are blessed and empowered as we continue to move forward and share our gifts and talents with the world. We are inspired everyday as we grow in every way. Shalem, Namasté.
