Being closer to nature promotes your well-being. Drinking in colours, shapes, textures, sounds, being mindful of your own movement and stillness. It's such a gift to be a part of nature, to give and receive. 💓

 

Celebrate & Reflect

 

Hatha Yoga and Traditional Thai Yoga Massage

The purpose and the basis of both yoga and Thai massage are closely related and they both are a part of a larger Eastern philosophy of wellbeing. They both recognize the importance of stretching, mobilising joints, realigning. They both appreciate the holistic approach whereby the practice is comprehensive (head to toe) and suited to one’s needs. They both seek to rebalance the energy through bodywork and relaxation. They do have a lot in common and they complement each other. It is also very reassuring to see how they both fit into a large agenda of wellbeing and Metta Bhavana (loving-kindness).

Flow

Through my own practice I seek to create a flow: slow enough to notice how things happen, to enjoy the degree of control I have (flow, not float), and fast enough to keep things moving, without getting stuck, without dwelling on things, enjoying fluidity and vigour. I open my chest and hips noticing my vulnerability. I accommodate. I give and I take. I flow growing in strength and patience. I may tumble or trip, I may hit a brick wall. That's just a part of the larger flow. Flow with humility.
