It take s inspiration from and involves exploration of physically being in relatio nship to others. We use the fundamentals of shared touch\, weight\, and mo vement awareness. Letting go of control of all that happens opens us to pl ayfulness\, surprises\, creativity\, dynamism and tenderness.\nPartner Yog a (not to be confused with Acroyoga) allows two people to relate to and su pport one another's practice through mutually assisted poses. From stretch ing your levels of trust to strengthening your communication\, partner yog a can have a positive effect on you and your connections that extends far beyond the physical. It's a gentle\, strong practice\, available for every one’s level\, including those without previous experience.\nThai Massage is a clothed massage practice. Guided and supported throughout\, to relea se tension and stress in a safe &\; respectful manner. Thai Massage use s gentle pressure\, stretching techniques and joint mobilisations to relax &\; open the body. The theory suggests that tight muscles cause blocka ges within 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 corr ect the flow of life energy.\nBio's\nEmilia Gzyl is a Transformational Coa ch\, Yin Yoga Teacher\, experienced Massage Therapist and NLP Master.
