   THAI YOGA BODYWORK
   
   ~ THE ART OF LETTING GO ~

 * WHAT IS THAI YOGA BODYWORK?
   
    
   
   THAI YOGA BODYWORK OFFERS A UNIQUE STYLE OF BODYWORK THAT RESTORES YOUR
   FLUIDITY OF MOVEMENT AND PEACEFUL STATE OF BEING. NICKNAMED 'LAZY MAN'S
   YOGA', IT IS A SERIES OF SLOW RHYTHMIC COMPRESSIONS TO MUSCLES AND ENERGY
   PATHWAYS, GENTLE ROCKING MOVEMENTS, PERCUSSIVE MASSAGE, AND GENTLE PASSIVE
   STRETCHES. SLOWLY AND SMOOTHLY, THE BODY IS RELIEVED OF RESTRICTIVE TENSIONS,
   INDUCING DEEP RELAXATION WITH AN ENERGIZED CALM. BY OPENING UP THE BODY'S
   ENERGY PATHWAYS OR MERIDIANS, OUR LIFE-FORCE ENERGY CAN MORE FREELY
   CIRCULATE.
   
    
   
   FINDING WAYS TO RELIEVE STRESS IS ESSENTIAL FOR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. THE
   TENSIONS OF DAILY LIFE CAN OBSTRUCT OUR FLOW OF VITALITY, LIKE A RIVER THAT
   HAS BEEN DAMMED. WHEN LIFE-FORCE ENERGY LOSES IT'S MOMENTUM, IT BECOMES
   SLUGGISH AND CAN LEAD TO DIS-EASE. REGULAR THAI YOGA SESSIONS CAN BRING VAST
   BENEFITS TO OUR OVERALL HEALTH...IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY, RESILIENCE TO STRESS
   AND INJURY, A BRIGHTER MOOD AND A PEACEFUL DISPOSITION. LIFE CAN BE HAPPIER
   AND MORE SUCCESSFUL WHEN WE MAKE TIME TO NURTURE OURSELVES...IN MIND, BODY,
   AND SPIRIT.
   
    
   
   THAI YOGA BODYWORK HELPS YOU TO...
   
    * INCREASE FLEXIBILITY AND VITALITY
   
    * ALLEVIATE PAIN AND STIFFNESS
   
    * FIND PEACE AND DEEP RELAXATION
   
    * REDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY
   
    * ENHANCE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND BODY-WISDOM
   
    * SPEED RECOVERY FROM INJURY; SAFEGUARD AGAINST INJURY
   
    * IMPROVE CIRCULATION TO ORGANS, MUSCLES, AND THE SKIN
   
    * INTEGRATE YOUR BODY, MIND, EMOTIONS, AND SPIRIT
   
   

 * MISSION

   "I LOVE MY JOB BUT IT CAN BE QUITE STRESSFUL AT TIMES - TAKING IT'S TOLL ON
   ME PHYSICALLY. MY WEEKLY BODYWORK SESSIONS WITH CHRIS HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT IN

   GREAT RESULTS!" ~ JOE H OF MARIETTA
   
    
   
   "A HUGE THANKS TO CHRIS FOR HITTING THE RESET BUTTON ON MY PHYSICAL WELL
   BEING. I AM A TENNIS PROFESSIONAL AND MY BODY IS IN CONSTANT MOTION; I TWIST,
   I JUMP AND I POUND MY BODY INTO THE PAVEMENT EVERYDAY. CHRIS WAS ABLE TO
   COUNTER-POINT ALL THE MOTIONS THAT TURN INTO POTENTIAL AILMENTS. I WAS PUT
   INTO A SOOTHING STATE OF SELF-HEALING MEDITATION WHILE BEING LEAD PHYSICALLY
   THROUGH STRETCHES AND MASSAGE THAT ACCENTUATED THE HEALING PROCESS. IF YOU
   ARE LOOKING FOR THE RESET BUTTON AND A NEW START TO PHYSICAL WELL-BEING LOOK
   NO FURTHER." ~ NATE K OF CHICAGO

   SESSION, ENSURING MY COMFORT AND ACHIEVING THE IDEAL DEPTH OF PRESSURE. I
   DON'T FEEL LIKE A VERY FLEXIBLE CLIENT, BUT AFTER ALL THE DIFFERENT
   STRETCHING TECHNIQUES HE USED, MY MUSCLES, JOINTS, AND BACK FEEL LIMBER AND
   RELAXED. CHRIS HAS A FIRM BUT GENTLE TOUCH -- I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HIS TALENT
   AND THERAPEUTIC PRESENCE." ~ NIKI B. OF MARIETTA

 * ORIGINS OF THAI YOGA
   
    THAI YOGA BODYWORK CAN TRACE IT'S ORIGINS BACK ABOUT 2,500 YEARS. IN
   THAILAND, IT IS CALLED "NUAD BO-RARN", WHICH MEANS 'ANCIENT HEALING WAY'. IT
   WAS CARRIED FROM INDIA TO THAILAND BY TRAVELING BUDDHIST MONKS WHO HAD
   KNOWLEDGE OF YOGA, ARYUVEDA, AND CHINESE MEDICINE. THESE INFLUENCES WERE
   EVENTUALLY BLENDED WITH THAI INDIGENOUS HEALING, AND PRACTICED IN BUDDHIST
   TEMPLES. THAI YOGA BODYWORK IS BUT ONE COMPONENT OF TRADITIONAL THAI
   MEDICINE, WHICH ADDITIONALLY UTILIZES HERBS, NUTRITION, AND SPIRITUAL
   PRACTICE. ORIGINATING FROM THE TRADITIONS OF BUDDHIST CULTURE, IT IS NOT
   SURPRISING THAT THAI YOGA BODYWORK INVITES SPIRITUAL DEEPENING. SESSIONS ARE
   OFFERED IN A PEACEFUL AND MEDITATIVE ATMOSPHERE, AND EMBODY THE 4 CLASSIC
   VIRTUES OF JOY, EQUANIMITY, PEACE, AND 'METTA' (LOVING-KINDNESS). THAI YOGA
   IS STILL A SACRED HEALING PRACTICE IN THAILAND TODAY, GAINING POPULARITY
   ACROSS THE WORLD FOR THE DISTINCT BENEFITS IT BRINGS TO OUR MIND-BODY-SPIRIT.
