Thai Partner Yoga Therapy takes in the whole person.
Are you a person that is always cold? Maybe you're a predominant Vata or Kapha dosha.
Are you often hot? Maybe your predominant dosha is Pitta.
Depending on your dosha, certain things come naturally. While we all have every type of dosha within us, there is often a predominant or two predominant doshas within us.
Kaphas, symbolized by earth and water, often have an easy time grounding and being stable. They are born nurtures.
Pittas, symbolized by fire and water, have a drive that gets things done, but it can also burn them out if left unbalanced.
Vatas, symbolized by air and space, have brilliant minds, but may have difficulty slowing those same minds down in a meditation.
Thai Partner Yoga Therapy works with all the doshas in their unique quantities in each person and brings them to their natural state of balance, leaving you feeling whole and complete.

Sen lines
Sen lines are energy channels throughout the body and said to be the places the spirit is stitched into the body. They are the precursors to chinese meridians.
Sen line work feels amazing and it is startling when I've had a back up of energy flow, how incredibly sensitive certain spots are along those lines.
Working these lines, along with the balancing of the marmas (precursors of the accupressure points of chinese medicine) is what truly gives Thai Partner Yoga Therapy its therapuetic power to balance and energize the whole person.
Namaste.

Marmas of the feet
Mmmm!
Why does it feel so good to get those feet massaged, pressed, or worked on in Thai Partner Yoga Therapy???
The nerves of the feet happen to have communication with those same nerves that innervate every organ and system of our body...quite the network.
Getting the marma points and sen lines cleared and balanced at the feet brings a lot of goodness to every single part of you! Every Thai Partner Yoga Therapy session starts with the feet, getting the bliss started from minute one.
Foot work, please!

Marmas of the head
There are so many glorious marmas of the head. Notice how naturally your hands are drawn to your head marmas to provide relief after a long day, a stressful interaction, tired eyes. Pressing the points the body calls for will bring you back into balance.
One of my favorite parts of Thai Partner Yoga Therapy is the glorious marma work on my head....oh, it feels so good.
So go ahead, when your body is calling for a little head attention, press, rub, and soothe away!

The Three Gunas
The three gunas are: Sattva, Tamas, and Rajas. They are the three dimensions with personalities.
Sattva is side to side, purity and equilibrium, and to liken it to aspects of observation, it is the observer.
Tamas is up and down, inertia and stillness, it is the object being observed.
Rajas is out and in, movement and activity, it is the act of observing.
The healing touch of Thai Partner Yoga Therapy (TPYT or Thai Massage) induces a sattvic state of being. TYPT brings the three gunas into balance through the practice of rajasic rubbing and rocking, tamasic pulling and pressing, combined with the sattvic sweeping and pranic healing.
If you have been overdoing it (too rajasic), TPYT will relax you. If you have been underdoing it (too tamasic), TPYT will stimulate you to achieve from a more optimistic frame of mind. If you have been just right (sattvic), TPYT will make you feel even better. ;)
Namaste.

Marmas
A Marma is a vital life force or energy point located on the surface of the body. Thai and Ayurvedic philosophy hold that the marmas are where the spirit and body lace together. Each marma holds the potential for balancing the three gunas and doshas (blogs on those to follow). These points hold both physical and emotional toxins, which when addressed with meditation or physical manipulation (like yoga or Thai Partner Yoga Therapy) can increase or decrease the pranic flow to improve energy, remove blockages, and increase range of motion.
In Thai Partner Yoga Therapy (also called Thai massage), marmas are rhythmically palmed, rubbed and balanced to feel oh soo good.
If this seems a little woo woo, consider the opposite. These marmas are the foundation of Indian martial arts, the grandfather of all other martial art forms. The same regions that when struck with force cause immediate disruptive and debilitating effects.
Treating the marmas to a TPYT session restores balance to the autonomic nervous system, both sympathetic and parasympathetic functions. Marma therapy releases endorphins--those happy hormones in the brain that give both physical and emotional pain relief and lift our moods. Balanced marmas facilitate communication between the body systems making you feel whole rather than a bucket of separate parts in various working order. Lastly, Marma treatment can calm and settle the mind, bringing clarity of consciousness.
Namaste.

Bliss
I found a Thai Partner Yoga Massage giver 30 minutes away as opposed to 7 hours from a classmate. Yea! I am quite happy. It was wonderful to feel of anothers flare and giving while drinking up the yummy feel of a Thai Partner Yoga session.
After my session, it was so easy to be present (and blissed out). I felt incredible, happy, and loving. I would love for everyone to get to feel so good.
Namaste.
