CONTACT YOGA & THAI MASSAGE

with

SIMON PARK & JULIA HORN

   

June 15th-17th, 2007

 

The YOGAs of RELATIONSHIP.

Join us with or without a yoga partner.

CONTACT YOGA’s goal, like the true meaning of the word yoga, is union.” Relationship stretches you to greater flexibility, furthers your personal awakening, and leads you to your highest self. Grounded in traditional yoga postures, Contact Yoga explores that mysterious and dynamic edge where two people connect - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Using poses specifically designed for two practitioners, Contact Yoga brings relationship into the body, reflecting patterns of connecting and distancing, loving and protecting, giving and receiving.

This combination of openness and contact creates greater connection for the practitioners, increasing their joy of being fully alive. Contact Yoga is revolutionizing the image of modern yoga.


THAI MASSAGE is an ancient and sacred system of healing with roots in Yoga, Ayurvedic Medicine and Buddhist spiritual practice. It is a unique and powerful system of Yoga Therapy, which combines rhythmic massage, acu-pressure, asanas (Yogic stretching exercises), gentle twisting, energy work and meditation. Thai Yoga Massage stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health, happiness and wellness of being. This system creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality and well-being and it deepens the connection between mind, body and spirit in both the giver and receiver
