Thai Yoga Bodywork and Reiki

I had a great time this last Spring and Summer taking Reiki and Thai Yoga Bodywork training with my teacher Tanya at Devanadi Yoga. Reiki is a system of energy work that originated in Japan and uses different hand positions to help with stress reduction and relaxation to promote well being. Thai Yoga Bodywork is technically also a form of energy work, but it is much more physical and focuses on removing blocks in the body's energy lines through a combination of massage, pressure points, and passive yoga poses (it's like yoga without all the sweat). Both are very relaxing and help bring a feeling of well being and clarity.

Look how happy everyone in my Thai Yoga class looked after 5 days of it!


To continue improving my skills in both and move on to future classes I need to practice with people. My house with 3 dogs and 2 cats isn't idea for it and I thought I'd try to recruit people by offering free sessions for anyone interested in their home. Typically Reiki takes around 1 hour. Thai Yoga Bodywork usually takes around 90 minutes but we can do 60 or 120 minutes as well. One the first session we go through some orientation and answer questions so it might take a little longer.

If you're interested you can email me at ctmurphy@gmail.com. And if you don't want to meet in your home, there are some other options if you are willing to split the cost of a room in a studio for the time (it's a really nice room setup just for Thai Yoga and Reiki, you might prefer it to your own home anyway).
