Thai-Yoga Massage to Stretch Your Partner's Back & Hips

Aaahhh, I love Thai massage (giving and receiving), also known as Thai-Yoga. It is assisted stretching, but it is more dynamic than stretching muscles individually.
Like yoga, it stretches muscles in several planes of movement. It also stretches several muscles at a time.

Like LIFE, we use muscles in dynamic, multi-planar movements. We don't use one muscle in isolation, in one direction (plane of motion). Therefore, it is more effective than stretching muscles individually.

Another advantage of assisted stretching is that you can get a deeper, more effective stretch when someone is conscientiously applying the stretch to you, rather than stretching yourself.

Your partner would appreciate 2-person Thai-Yoga Massage for loosening their back and hip muscles! If you are the giver, move slowly, gently, and respectfully throught the movements.
Here are more of the health benefits of Thai-Yoga Massage:
* Emphasis is on loosening joints and stretching muscles
* Opens energy channels, improving circulation and movement
* Works from a holistic medicine model based in ancient Ayurveda
* Relaxing and deeply therapeutic, with long-lasting effects

Relieve pain and tension, prevent disc problems in the spine, and relieve stress!
