Exfoliation helps to perk up the skin color and clarity, unclogs follicles and pores, allows the skin to breathe, allows lotions, oil, and gels to penetrate better, improves skin texture, stimulates the skin’s functions, and increases circulation. Christina has recently added heat to her massages with the use of a digital full back warmer. Deep, penetrating moist heat is created by this digitally controlled unit for the treatment of pain from overuse, and tight back muscles. Warms neck, shoulders, and full back with digital 1° temperature control (up to 166°). At 12 lbs, the pad delivers heat smoothly and evenly and is certain to be a favorite of yours. This patent pending design covers the full back, neck and shoulders to warm up and prepare tight muscles for massage. Schedule a massage and experience this wonderful phenomenon. You’ll notice the difference immediately after the massage. Warm towels are also available. Exfoliation (Dry brush or citrus body polish) add $15.00 to massage price. Added prior to your massage $12.00 Separate appointment without a massage $20.00 Add an essential oil to the lotion $3.00

Negative Pressure Massage Cupping

 Massage Cupping will drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue, and bring blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin.

Massage Cupping can be added on to a one hour massage to any part of the body where you feel stress.  This will be done at no additional cost.

Massage Cupping can add time to your massage by adding an extra half hour to the hour.  The cost will be the same as an hour and a half massage.

Let Christina know if this is something you are interested in prior to the massage to allow extra time if necessary.

Face Lifting and Drainage is another Massage Cupping technique that is done on the face.  It takes approximately 15 – 20 minutes.  This technique eliminates buildup of wastes and fluids in the face and neck.  The action is cumulative if a series of treatments is done 1-2 times per week.  The cost is $13.00/session.

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


                                                                                                          

 

 

 

 

Text Box: Yoga Therapy: Restorative Yoga Yoga Therapy is a new modality that is becoming popular quite quickly. By combining yoga poses, breath work, meditation and relaxation, the body is able to release any stored up stress that failed despite conventional medical treatment. If you are under medical care, once you have been released by any medical personnel, you may begin your Yoga Therapy treatment. If you are not under medical care, you may begin when you are ready. Yoga Therapy: Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic session performed one on one with Christina. An intake will be performed to see where your needs are and then a 1.5 hour session will be completed. We will use a series of props and poses designed for your body type. This is a private session designed specifically for you. You may also be given certain exercises that may be performed at home. Knee pain, back pain, inguinal hernia, hip pain, frozen/shoulder pain, scoliosis, constipation, menstrual problems, asthma, insomnia are just a few issues that can be addressed. 1.5 hours for the low price of $43.00 Practice is absolutely necessary

Weekend Workshops

January, February, March Workshops

Workshops are back for the winter season.  This will provide you with some fun activity during the cold season.

We have reduced the workshops from two to one workshop.  If you come alone, pay $15.00.  If you bring a new student pay only $25.00 for the two of you.

10:00am – 12:00pm

 

March 20th – Partner Yoga.  Grab your partner and try a new style of yoga!

Restorative Yoga (New & Improved) We have furthered our education in this modality!

In restorative yoga you will use an assortment of props to completely support the body in a variety of poses.  You will hold many of the poses for a couple of minutes or longer.  Some postures provide passive stretching and stimulate different areas of the body.  Others are designed simply to allow pure, unqualified rest.  Restorative Yoga is a life enhancing practice. It is appropriate for anyone, at any age or stage of life, or in any physical condition.

 

Shakti Yoga - Shakti energy is playful and intuitive.  It is based in part on Body Mind Centering techniques and moving the body in different ways to bring optimal health to the various systems. Another key element in Shakti Yoga is experiencing freedom and joy through movement. When we come together to move, dance, laugh, and work up a sweat, we discover a powerful antidote to modern day stress. This type of yoga combines devotional yoga warm-ups with the dancing to enhance the transformational experience.  It offers you a great opportunity to explore yourself and the freedom to be who you are.  This type of yoga will be introduced in the first workshop in February.

If you feel you would not be able to commit to an 8 week scheduled class you also have the option of buying a 10 class punch card.  This will give you the freedom of attending classes as you can.  The cost for a 10 class punch card is $80.00.  When using this card, you will need to call ahead to be sure the class is still open.
