Be My Partner: Yoga & Thai Massage with Gabrielle 6/28!

This workshop is open to both unfamiliar & seasoned participants, offering an experience of a series of steady restorative poses and rhythmic flowing postures for practicing yoga in union with a partner. We will also engage our partners in the art of “giving” and “receiving” mindful and heartfelt bodywork in order to harmonize and reach a universal interaction. Partners will take turns being guided through a series of techniques based on the traditions of Thai Massage. We will practice the art of Partner Yoga & Thai Massage to promote the balance of Yin & Yang. Ultimately, it’s an opportunity to have fun with a dear friend or loved one. This workshop is open to all and all are welcome – just bring a friend and plan to have a great time!

Derive the healing benefits from Yin Yoga with highly praised instructor/performance artist, Gabrielle de Burke (Casella). In this workshop we will get reacquainted with the wisdom of the inner child while exploring mindful-meditations that reshape patterns in the landscape of the adult practitioners body-temple. Through long-held & restorative poses, energy blockages release by activating meridians (energy pathways in the body), stimulating acupressure points & chakras (energy centers in the body) to promote mobility in the connective or “yin” tissues (ligaments, tendons, & cartilage). Yin yoga will challenge participants in the art of finding stillness… in all aspects of the body, mind & spirit of the practice. Meditate on the poetry of ancient Taoist mystical philosophy being read aloud to practitioners during poses in an effort to resonate w/ the inner chords of our deepest being. This workshop will be accessible to range of experience from beginners to intermediate & advanced practitioners.
