Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient form of therapeutic healing body work. It is a combination of pressure point work, joint mobilization and passive stretching assisting the body in releasing blocked energy and tight muscles. Gentle yoga stretches are also incorporated to assist with this release.
Thai massage is performed on a therapeutic mat on the floor. The client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing to allow ease of movement.
Brad practices and teaches yoga to bring philosophy into action and to unveil the natural beauty of our spirits. He loves the ability of yoga to cleanse the mind and body which allows for presence of being. He relies strongly on his own practice and intuition to influence his teaching.
Brad began his personal yoga practice six years ago. Since then he has become certified in Hatha Yoga, Gentle Somatic Yoga and Restorative Yoga. He is a trauma informed instructor, meaning special consideration is given in offering a safe experience through the creation of a controlled environment, the use of neutral language; the practice of safe and accessible poses, and the compassionate understanding of what it means to be living with the symptoms of trauma and stress related conditions.
Brad believes yoga offers so many benefits, however healing and grace are two of the most powerful and seemingly difficult benefits to obtain. Healing takes time and grace takes love and acceptance. Both of these are connected and found in the practice of yoga and in movement. These two are integrated with patience and committed practice.
