Thai Yoga Massage | Yoga NOW Show

Receiving Thai Yoga massage is like being on a chocolate cake diet! There it is, 3 of my favorite things in one sentence. To be clear, Thai massage has a “giver” of the massage and a recipient. I’m speaking from the point of view of the recipient. Our guest, Amanda Young has a simple description of Thai massage; she calls it, “Lazy-man’s Yoga”.

This month, our host Jane Lanza and Amanda go well beyond that simple description. In fact, Amanda spends about 10 minutes during the show giving a demonstration and instruction for a massage treatment that can be practiced at home.

Both Amanda and Jane have studied in Thailand with different instructors. They both give recommendations for training in Thailand as well as books and DVDs and North American Thai massage training schools.

Our guest, Amanda Young is the owner of Shanti Mama Wellness (ShantiMamaWellness.com) in Burlington, Vermont. She specializes in Deep Tissue, Prenatal, and Thai massage and is also a Doula.

In addition to the massage demonstration, Jane and Amanda go into some depth on the following:

• History of Thai Yoga massage
• Educational Background in Thai Massage; Amanda & Jane
• Differences; Thai Massage vs. Others
• Cultural Viewpoint of Massage in Thailand
• Learning Resources
• Amanda’s Demonstration of Thai Massage (MUST See!)
• Cautionary Note if Pregnant

For your viewing convenience, each section of the full length version of the show has a link that allows you to jump to that section or come back and re-watch part of the show. Simply click in the middle of the video to get it started as usual. Then you can click on one of the links to go directly to that section or of course you can just watch it beginning to end. Either way, we hope this adds to your enjoyment of the show.

Yoga and Parenting – time for both | Yoga NOW Show

The expression goes, “kids don’t come with a manual”. If I ask most parents, there would probably be a lot of agreement. But did you ever wonder; do parents just not read the manual? I didn’t. This month we have some very helpful, even insightful tips for parents – no matter what age the kids. And you kids…. listen up too. There’s something for you as well.

(Be sure and read to the end. We have some changes, hopefully they’re improvements, in viewing the show that I’ll talk about.)

Our guest, Emily Garrett is a mother of 2 small children, a working mom, a yogi, and the owner of a yoga studio. “Busy” is an inadequate word to describe her life. Modest as she is, it is definitely worth listening carefully to what’s working for her. Frankly, a lot of what she’s doing is very do-able for most anyone.

I can hear you saying this now; “I’m too busy with the kids to watch a video”. Let me help you get beyond that so you can get the help you need. The video is only 15 minutes long. That’s it, just 15 minutes. Here’s the 2 minute show preview but keep reading after the preview because we’ve gone a step further to help you sleep deprived, time stressed parents.

This episode (the full length version) and all future episodes are divided into sections. Each section has a short description, just a few words, that you can click on and jump directly to that part of the show. This makes it easy to watch or re-watch sections of interest to you. You can also view the show in multiple sittings rather than all at once. Here’s how you do it; click in the middle of the video to get it started as usual. Then you can click on one of the links to go directly there or of course you can just watch it beginning to end. Either way, we hope this is a convenience for you.
