In order to help facilitate and initiate the healing process, the practitioner must be aware of his or her own body, breath, movement and energy. Movements are subtle, yet for the practitioner it can be physically demanding. Along with learning how to offer comfort to those we love, this workshop aims to help the “giver” learn to move with grace and alignment, literally being in asana practice, while administering the Thai Yoga. With proper technique, compassion, and intuition, a healing session becomes therapeutic for both giver and receiver.
