The Pleasures of Partner Yoga
This February, I am continuing my Partner Yoga journey, by attending the Pleasures of Partner Yoga retreat with my partner. What a lovely opportunity to move, breathe, & connect on physical, emotional, and social levels.
If you are interested in joining this retreat, a link to the program is listed below. Kripalu is a magical retreat center, in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains. The list of programs, retreats, & day-experiences is diverse, with opportunity for everyone to have their own experience. I will absolutely be receiving a Healing Arts session during my stay.
NOTE This program is for couples only and suitable for all levels of yoga experience.
Rebirth: Thai Massage Summit 2023
There is no place like a convention, to make one feel alive! Especially, when participation is intimate, in retreat-style, with meals, practices, and education shared by all. This will be my first in-person Thai massage summit, although I participated virtually last year. Presenters include Pierce Salguero, Rose Griscom, David Wells, Jill Burynski, Al Turner, Wass Lakkham, and more TBA.
Thai Massage is at the core of my practice and I could not be more excited to foster relationships with the leaders in this spiritual practice.
2023 AMTA National Convention
The 2023 American Massage Therapy National Convention is fast approaching. This year, it is in Phoenix, AZ, in August. I’m glad to be inside! This event is one I look forward to each year, to meet the leaders in the industry, learn new massage technique, understand how massage businesses function, and reinvigorate my practice. There is no place like a convention, to make one feel alive!

Reception

Training in Partner Yoga (Level 1)
I’m beyond excited to have the opportunity to join Elisabeth Williamson, Gina Lee, and Lara Christine for the Training in Partner Yoga (Level 1). This class will focus on designing & facilitating Partner Yoga Workshops, understanding and implementing the Partner Yoga Principles, group meditations, and more! Not only that but class is held at the renowned Kripalu Center For Yoga & Health. What a blessing!
Principle Based Partner Yoga was introduced to me by my massage mentor, at National Holistic Institute for Massage Therapy, in 2017. Since then, I've trained and instructed Nuad Bo-Rarn Thai Massage, dabbled in acroyoga, and implemented many of the exercises in my yoga classes, usually when there are fewer students. It will be a pleasure to bring more of this fabulous practice to the community!
