What is Yogic Bodywork?
The Sacred Union of Yoga & Bodywork
Yogic Bodywork is a fully clothed, table-based manual therapy practice that delivers the benefits of massage, combined with the benefits of Yoga.
If you've every had an interest in learning Thai Massage, Shiatsu, or MyoFascial Release, then you will love how good it feels to practice Yogic Bodywork, and you will enjoy witnessing how much your client enjoys receiving it.
Yogic Bodywork seamlessly blends Eastern Yogic tradition and techniques with Western fascia science to lengthen, strengthen, align, and restore your client's body.
