Life-changing Discovery: Thai Yoga Massage

So, before I took off for my weekend away, I made a new discovery (I know, it's probably only new to me...): Thai Yoga Massage is the greatest thing on earth. Seriously. I cannot believe how amazing it is.

Imagine the feeling of being in your favorite yoga pose--for me it's pigeon. So, imagine the opening that you feel in the body in that pose, the release, the relaxation. Now, imagine that you could exert no effort and someone else would put you into a pose that feels the same way (although it may not look the same), and THEN massage you in that pose, using their body weight, arms, knees, elbows, and hands. Although I don't think my description is doing it justice, just trust me that it is life-changing and go get one ASAP!

If you live in DC, Anne at Tranquil Space does offer them in the spa, but I'm sure that they are offered at most spas that have a wide variety of massage techniques. I was lucky enough to get a free, 2-hr Thai Yoga Massage from a student who is just learning, but it is DEFINITELY something worth paying for in order to sprinkle a bit of bliss into your daily life. Ommmmmmmmmmmm.....
