Stretchrassage

This summer we will be trying some new things at Leguerisseur Healing Center on Mercer Island, including our hand crafted "STRETCHASSAGE" classes. The intention of this class allows me to guide you, mindfully, with your breathe work thru a full stretching series, similar to pilates and yoga poses, only a little more catered to how the human bodies are feeling in the class on that day. The importance of massage, and therapeutic touch is life-altering. Massage allows you to connect with your body, in a very in depth way, think therapeutically working over our tired muscles for ultimate health! Every-body needs it. This is a great way to be introduced to therapeutic touch, especially if it is your first time! Chances are, you will be back! The other intention is for you to receive regular massage, at an affordable price, since it is less expensive than one on one massage therapy! The intention is for this to be the ultimate restorative experience. And because it is me, you bet sound healing, gemstones, and aromatherapy will be apart of this holistic experience. Stretchassage is a new option of mindfulness, stretching, with touch in a small group environment, no more than 10 clients in a single session; allowing an affordable price point. It allows you TIME AND SPACE, for you to connect with your body, it allows you to connect to your mind a chance to rest, and restore! Its a way to connect whole body, holistically, so you can live a high vibrational lifestyle. When you join us you can expect to walk into a room with floor to ceiling windows, with luscious green trees, as if in a tree fort! A lovely, magical, healing space. We will have AM and PM classes available. Our evening classes will be in a warm dark room, candlelit. Mats and props will be laid will be laid out on the floor for you. Essential oils in our diffusers. Sound healing music playing. Class begins with the focus on breathe, allowing you into the present moment. The first position takes place, with your comfort in mind...think slow yin yoga poses/stretching, coupled with my Thai massage, an excellent opportunity to get an understanding of and feeling for this ancient art, and other healing techniques. Thai yoga works on the ‘Ten Sen’ energy lines (analogous to acupuncture meridians) through which our natural life force flows. I'll use my hands, feet and elbows to apply pressure to important points along these lines, combining that with gentle stretching derived from a yin Yoga practice. This releases blocked energy and frees the body’s own natural healing potential, thus reducing fatigue and enhancing health and harmony, and is brilliant for managing stress, improve flexibility, agility and relaxation. It is very effective for aiding recovery from injuries, as well as helping to prevent injury.Each client gets about 90 seconds of massage in each position. We will also use lacrosse balls, and foam rollers for part of the classes self-massage series. Class ends with a warm towel to the feet, after a foot massage. By the end of class, you will feel, completely restored, with a head to toe experience like none other. Our class schedule will be released soon, expect mid-June! Remember to bring your water bottle, we have a place for you to fill it up. You can book a one on one massage with Maria Toro at leguerisseurhealingcenter.com
