Thai Yoga Massage is a perfect adjunct to Yoga practice or as an independent form of stress-relieving body work. It is an ancient form of therapeutic body work that has its earliest roots in India, but became most popular in Thailand.
Thai Yoga Massage incorporates Yoga-like postures and rhythmical kneading of sen lines (energy lines) on the arms and legs. It is an interactive form of bodywork, quite unlike any other found in the West or in the East. While it does include muscle kneading (in its own form), what makes it particularly unique is the passive stretching that the practitioner does for you. Through this practice, the body experiences profound relaxation, peripheral stimulation of internal organs, increased flexibility and increased flow of energy. The practice is done on a comfortable mat on the floor with the client comfortably dressed.
The cost for this service is $65 for a 1.5 hour session.

Following this initial session, Ellen will draw up a unique practice designed specifically for you. There will be very specific written instructions and drawings when appropriate. Once this is completed, Ellen will meet with you for a second private session to review, practice and refine the plan.
The cost for this service is $160 for current students or $190 for a student not attending classes. The service includes 2 private sessions, the preparation and copies of your Personal Yoga Plan.

Ellen offers stress management workshops and consultation for individuals and groups at the studio or for groups in the workplace. These range from one-hour, one-on-one meetings to day-long workshops. In her unique program called “Stress as a Path to Well-Being,” participants move toward embracing their stress as a means to deeper self awareness and self acceptance. In a joyful, supportive, interactive setting, they look at why certain life experiences evoke stress and how personal belief systems and stories impact the degree to which they internalize a situation. By observing the language of their bodies and implementing simple relaxation techniques, they will discover a path to bring peace to even the most stressful of moments.
Ellen has held stress management programs in mental health and hospital settings. She believes that heightened self awareness and self acceptance is the ultimate path toward inner peace and healing.

Living in this world, steeped in duality (good and bad, joyful and sad, beautiful and revolting, abundant and scarce), can provoke you to question the way you live. Questioning is a normal and healthy part of personal growth at every stage of life. It inspires you to look at beliefs and conditioning as a means of breaking out of old patterns and finding new and inspired ways of being.
Using the many tools of Yoga, including self reflection, body awareness, and breath work, these sessions will support you in identifying places in your life where you welcome movement and change and also offer opportunities to re-work thinking patterns that can keep you stuck in behaviors and habits that no longer serve you.
The cost for this service is $65 for 1 session or $180 for 3 sessions (recommended).
