In Sanskrit, Ananda means (Pure Bliss-Unending Joy).
Thai Bodywork is an ancient healing, bodywork art form practiced in Thailand.
Ananda Couples Thai Bodywork was inspired by Teresa Morrow, Lymphatic Enhancement Therapy Specialist,Yoga Instructor, Thai Bodywork Practitioner and Emotional Freedom Release Coach… After Going through her own challenging breast cancer experience, 12 years ago, Teresa began her quest for finding a more holistic and organic approach to physical wellness.
Much research suggests that intentional physical touch lowers your heart rate and blood pressure, increases levels of dopamine and serotonin. Two neurotransmitters that help regulate mood and lessens depression, anxiety, boosts your immune system, relieves pain and improves your mental wellness.
The intention is for everybody to experience “pure bliss and unending joy”, in their personal lives.
Ananda combines passive stretching and movement of joints with gentle touching techniques. The whole session is a graceful, nurturing and interactive healing therapy. It focuses on intention, attention, consciousness and breath. The effect of Thai Bodywork is greater flexibility, flow of energy, deep relaxation and a complete feeling of wellbeing.
The art of Thai Bodywork achieves a deep therapeutic effect without harsh physical force through efficient use of movement, conscious touch, breathing and rhythm. Since it is given on a floor mat with the “receiver” fully clothed, the “giver” can use their whole body in leverage and interactive work as they gently move and rock their “receiver” into various positions, applying a gentle rhythmic touch. Always respectful and caring, it is adjustable to suit the “receiver’s ” needs or preference.
You do not have to already be flexible to receive and enjoy Ananda Couples Thai Bodywork, and it doesn’t have to hurt. The process itself is mindfully meditative, blissful, and enjoyable for both the giver and the receiver. People report feeling flexible, expanded, lighter, deeply relaxed, refreshed, and more aware of their body.
The deep relaxation and healing touch impart a long-lasting afterglow of well-being. A great aid in maintaining a sense of mindful closeness and the blissful feeling of unending joy between the giver and the receiver….
This is a 2 hour Workshop.
Cost: $100 per couple
