What is Thai Massage? Traditional Thai massage is a healing art combining yoga postures and stretching, acupressure, reflexology, and energy work. In this class, we will practice giving & receiving a simple flowing sequence of ancient Thai massage. The primary focuses of Traditional Thai Massage are the practices of mindfulness, meditation and loving kindness. As touch sensitivity increases, the massage becomes artful and is a physical expression of emotion and spirit. As awareness of breath & energy increase, attention to the present moment is richer. Life force is activated for giver and receiver. Workshop includes: Centering, warm-ups, technique demonstration, and instruction, giving & receiving bodywork, meditation. Dress in comfortable warm clothing. Valerie Twomey, RN is a practitioner of Traditional Thai massage, is certified and has traveled in Thailand. She is a Kripalu yoga & yoga dance teacher and licensed massage therapist. Her home is in Chatham. Couples, friends and family are welcome as a pair. Click here to view Valerie's website.

Ancient Rhythms open the heart and free the spirit. Explore, Heal, Energize, and Have A lot of fun!!! A statement from the Instructor: “While the class is an African dance class with drumming there will be a much larger yoga component for this workshop considering it's at the Wellness Center. Tara and I are interested in the confluence of yoga and African dance. Personally, I find them both focused on the breath (heavy breath for the dance!) and a lot of heart opening movements. They are both very grounding.”

I understand how hard it is to take the time during the day to close the eyes and breathe and get to a
point where you can focus on the tasks at hand, and to go on with your day with more clarity.
Business, no matter what it is, by its very nature, induces stress at every stage which can build up tension,
and create complications in the body.
Recently, I ran an 8 week yoga series, one hour a week, after work, for a local business.
The Human Resources department and I coordinated this after a conversation regarding how
important it is for the company to offer more health related events at the place of business.
It was a success, and the employees loved getting the mind, body, soul workout,
right downstairs from their office. Many of them told me it's hard to get to our yoga studio sometimes
after they get out of work, especially on days they put in more hours.
I am available via email at centervillewellness@yahoo.com or by phone
Wednesday through Friday at 508 775 1422. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions.
