about Yogassage
Yogassage is a modality of bodywork that is a unique blend of yoga and massage. It has been utilized by athletes and non-athletes alike to aid in physical and mental well-being.
In a relaxing environment the client flows through a series of assisted yoga positions while receiving massage techniques targeting specific muscle groups to facilitate the deepening of postures and to assist in the release of chronic holding patterns. The level of client involvement can move from passive relaxation to active participation depending on feedback, as the client is encouraged to move within their comfort zone with a gentle suggestion to always be willing to move a little beyond their perceived edge.
Practitioners are trained to recognize and allow for the difference in levels of expertise they may encounter with each client, from the beginner with little or no yoga experience to the most advanced student.
This method is unique in that it requires some degree of participation and commitment on the part of the receiver that can affect healing in a whole and balanced way, eliminating the notion of practitioner as “fixer”. Clients often report that they experience a profound level of relaxation and release along with a renewed enthusiasm toward deepening their own practice.
