Relax Already: Thai Yoga Massage
The latest in relaxation involves a little more work than just laying on a massage table and getting rubbed down.
Thai Yoga Massage (some people call it "Thai Massage" only) is a massage where the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while massaging along the body's pressure points. Ultimately it is a full body massage performed on a floor mat with a practitioner who uses hands, feet, arms, and legs to guide the client into various yoga postures.
Relax Already: Get an Aston Patterning Massage
With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it is important to make sure you fit in a little "you time" every now and again. I was given the opportunity for some serious "me time" during a recent Aston Patterning Massage (APM) session compliments of Tre Balm Beauty Boutique and Skin Care Studio here in San Francisco and let me tell you, it was much needed.
For anyone that has never had this type of massage before, APM is basically a massage technique that combines deep tissue work, massage, and movement all in one.

Partner Yoga Pose: Forward Flying
Soothing partner yoga poses such as Dog Hero, Massage Table, and Double Gate are great for connecting with someone or for a good stretch, but sometimes I'm in the mood for something a little more fun and challenging. You've probably done this flying move with your 2-year-old niece, but it's not just for kids. The reason it's so great when you're older is because the person on the top can utilize the force of gravity to feel deeper stretches, and the person on the bottom experiences an amazing lower-back release from the weight of his or her partner.
