Not to be confu sed with Acroyoga\, Partner Yoga allows two people to relate to and suppor t one another's practice through mutually assisted poses. From stretching your levels of trust to strengthening your communication\, partner yoga ca n have a positive effect on you and your connections that extends far beyo nd the physical. It's a gentle\, strong practice\, available for everyone ’s level\, including those without previous experience.\nContact Improvi sation... is a form of improvised movement or dance. It takes inspiration from and involves exploration of physically being in relationship to other s. We use the fundamentals of shared touch\, weight\, and movement awarene ss. Rather than focusing on 'dance moves' we train our bodies to listen an d observe the wonder of shared spontaneous movement and\, maybe\, dance. L istening\, following\, leading and suggesting without attachment are at th e fore. Letting go of control of all that happens opens us to playfulness\ , surprises\, creativity\, dynamism and tenderness.\nThai Massage... is a clothed massage practice. Guided and supported throughout\, to release ten sion and stress in a safe &\; respectful manner. Thai Massage uses gent le pressure\, stretching techniques and joint mobilisations to relax &\ ; open the body. The theory suggests that tight muscles cause blockages wi thin energy lines\, called Sen lines in the Thai Massage tradition. These blockages reduce the flow of life energy\, resulting in stiffness\, pain\, and illness. Thai massage uses techniques that open the Sen to correct th e flow of life energy.\n\nBio's\nEmilia Gzyl is a Transformational Coach\, Yin Yoga Teacher\, experienced Massage Therapist and NLP Master.
