Thai-Yoga Massage and European Massage Training in Manila, Philippines

Thai massage is a very unique form of massage. Instead of the rhythmic rubbing, tapping, or kneading done in most forms of massage, it is highlighted by intensive stretching, elongating, along with deep massage. If you have ever watched someone practicing Yoga, you are going to discover your body assuming many of the same positions, but with almost no effort on your part.
   
Relaxation is one of the most important ingredients you must bring to a Thai massage. Your masseuse is going to have you laying on a mat on the floor. You will be wearing loose fitting clothes which move freely on your body. The clothes may be clothes you wore into the session, or they may provide you with a loose fitting set of cotton pants and top. Once you are on the floor, your job is to completely relax, and allow your masseuse to do all the work. This may sound easy, but for many people they wish to use their own muscles to assist in the movements, you will understand why in a moment.

Water Shiatsu & Water Aerobics Training Class in Loreland Farm Resort

Water Shiatsu grew out of the principles of Zen Shiatsu, which emphasizes stretching to heal and open up the body, a method practiced in the eastern world even before acupuncture and ayurveda. Water not only relaxes the body, but it also takes weight off the joints of the vertebrae, and frees the spine in ways impossible on land. Conditions that place stress on the joints (arthritis, obesity and osteoporosis) are specially addressed in Water Shiatsu.

As soon as you step into the pool, relaxation is immediate. The therapist supports the receiver’s weight and the receiver floats into a unique world of breath and fluid movements. Moved through the water, stretched, cradled and massaged, the receiver becomes aware of her entire body. Tensions dissolve and the receiver feel life expanding into long-ignored places. The back, neck, shoulders, arms, hips and legs – every part of the body is invited to release and move freely.

For some, Water Shiatsu evokes the serenity of the womb and for others, the delight of playing in the water as a child. Many people find the timeless, sacred container of Water Shiatsu sessions ideal for personal reflection and integrating new insights. A graceful dance, a meditation, a luxurious sensory journey – whatever your experience, the receiver ends up feeling relaxed, cared for, and revitalized.

In a stressful, isolating world, Water Shiatsu offers us the unique opportunity to feel deeply connected. The nurturing, nonsexual intimacy and the experience of embodied freedom it provides nourish the soul.

Online / Long Distance Massage Training for Teenagers / Teeners

Teenage Massage is a specific and sensitive to the needs of a young person going through the transition from childhood to adulthood. Teenagers can be self-conscious and shy about their bodies, but massage therapy can help improve body image and help decrease depression, anxiety, and stress. This keeps a teen connected to his/her body even as it changes in bewildering ways. Massage helps teens stay grounded. Bodywork has also reportedly helped cure eating disorders, a concern among teens.

Teenage Massage also helps an adolescent understand and accept healthy nurturing touch, desexualizing the experience, and seeing it as therapeutic instead. It can also help teenagers manage stress, reduce the impact of emotional/hormonal transitions, relieve muscle tension, and improve sense of well-being and sleep and study patterns.

And finally, a beneficial therapeutic relationship can develop between teenagers and body-workers during the years when adolescents need adult confidantes but keep their parents at arms length. The practitioner can become a supportive, trusted adult in a teenager’s life, and the session itself, can be a way to deal with all the physical and emotional turmoil of this tender period of one’s life.
