Private One-on-One Yoga Sessions with Thai massage

  “Teach what is appropriate for an individual.”

Krishnamacharya, The Father of Modern Yoga

“The depth and experience that Laura brings to yoga comes through in her thoughtful teaching. She gently challenges and encourages us to physically move in new ways. I have been a yoga teacher for 15 years, and her adjustments are some of the best I’ve ever seen! Thank you!” Sarah P. 

Profound changes occur when a yoga teacher and student connect and have open communication about the body, mind, and soul.  

Private, personalized, one-on-one yoga and massage are taught by registered yoga teacher and holistic health practitioner, Laura Gries, at Awakenings Health. 

This one-on-one time allows full and complete attention to all of your needs.  An individualized yoga and massage session is developed prior to every class to ensure the process of healing and growth.

In addition to an individualized yoga session, this treatment has 30 minutes of deeply healing Thai massage.  Thai massage is often referred to as “yoga for the lazy man.” This floor-based and fully-clothed massage allows you to embody yoga poses passively.  In areas where your body is not completely open or even “stuck,” this massage allows you to take the poses even deeper with the help of the therapist. In areas where your body is not completely open, this massage brings greater suppleness and allows you to take the poses even deeper passively.  Your body, mind and spirit are moved, balanced, and relaxed as you enter a meditative state during this massage. 

The treatment will leave you stronger, more flexible, with less discomfort and feeling 15 years younger!

Special safety note: We always have your safety in mind:  We provide a conscious and vaccinated therapist, a mask mandate and a heavily sanitized facility.  We also tend to your body and mind awareness when entering, exiting and breathing into a pose.   Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. 

What To Bring

Please wear comfortable clothing to facilitate the ease of the movements and stretches.  A sanitized yoga mat is provided unless you would prefer to use your own.  A low massage mattress or futon is utilized on the floor where both you and your teacher have space to lie and sit comfortably for the Thai massage.
