Typically performed on the floor lying on a mat, a specially-trained massage therapist guides you through partner yoga poses and stretches. Usually, it starts with focusing on the feet and ends with the face and head. By starting with the feet, a person’s energy can be moved upward and in turn, helps increase the circulation of blood flow and energy throughout the body and reduces stress levels. With increased blood circulation, more oxygen will flow to the brain which will help decrease headaches.
Like a deep tissue massage, the massage therapist uses their palms to gently knead your muscles but also, you’ll be twisted and stretched by your partner using feet, thumbs, and fists to work your body. The slow movements allow for your mind and body to slow down, get centered and experience true relaxation.yoga
