TranquiliThai is mindfulness in motion.

We do things a little differently here. There are many Thai bodywork/massage/yoga institutions, with most having an emphasis on sequence and technique. Here, we stem from a lineage that emphasizes mindfulness, compassion, intuition, and observation. Every body is listened to closely, and then approached using techniques that seem most beneficial for them, not just an engrained sequence.

This method uses compressions and assisted stretching that takes place on a floor mat while wearing comfortable clothing. It is sometimes referred to as ‘assisted yoga.’

Benefits:
increase mobility
optimize circulation
relieve muscle & joint tension
reduce stress
increase flexibility
balance energy systems of the body
promote a feeling of wholeness
