Born of Heart Yoga

THAI YOGA THERAPY Thai Yoga Therapy is a beautiful and powerful combination of massage, acupressure, stretching, twisting, energy work and meditation, all rolled into one experience. Thai Yoga Therapy aims at stimulating the flow of energies withing the body, by working the sen lines to open the places which are blocked, relieve the places where there is too much and bring the whole into balance. These energy lines cannot be verified anatomically, although now it is possible... to scientifically measure currents of energy within the body and the experience of energy can certainly be felt. Yoga philosophy states that there are 72,000 of these lines, although some texts say 350,000. Within the yoga tradition there are 14 main lines, while in Thai Yoga Therapy there are 10 main lines. Along these energy lines are certain vital points (acupressure points/marmas). These vital points are major junctions of muscles, vessels (nerves, arteries, veins and lymph) ligaments, bones, and joints. These points are the seats of vital life force (prana) within the physical body. See more

The energy lines are linked with the chakra system. Stated simply, chakras are centers of energy within the body. Chakra in Sanskrit means wheel, which refers to the shape. The chakras act as windows or data banks where physical, mental and spiritual energies interchange. Each chakra corresponds with a particular element, sense organ and gland or glands in the endocrine system and controls certain functions within the body, not only physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Research suggests that chronic stress and/or lifestyle choices have a significant impact on both the cause and recovery from many health disorders. Yoga and mindfulness meditation may prove extremely helpful. The data we have collected shows an overall improvement of symptoms by an average of 55%.

Think of a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Session as a time to catch up with yourself, finally taking the time to process the emotions and thoughts you may otherwise be too busy to attend to, a time to listen to you. Each PRYT session is unique, born out of the current and unique circumstances of the client’s life on that particular day.

WHAT IS PHOENIX RISING YOGA THERAPY? A PRYT session is a direct experience of what you are aware of on a sensory level, coupled with assisted yoga postures taken to a therapeutic edge, and a gentle invitation to take note and reflect out loud what is happening with you and your body. The practitioner holds sacred space and witnesses your process as it unfolds. This direct experience can then be utilized for client insight and any next steps that need to be taken on your healing journey. This work can result in many types of releases, such as a surge of emotions, laughing or crying, deep relaxation, past memory surfaces, energetic release, shaking, tingling, dreams, and profound change. It is through integrating this direct experience that the client can find his or her own clarity and direction.
