Thai Yoga Stretch Therapy (In Person)
This ancient tradition originating from Thailand combines passive stretching & massage, leaving your body and mind relaxed & renewed. Thai yoga is especially good for people who may find it difficult to relax while stretching themselves or know they should stretch but want help making sure they make the time. Relax while I stretch the tension away.

Girl you are MAGIC! I'm not limping, and I can raise my leg again? I called you this morning in pain. This is Literally a turn around from this morning. I've never had body work that did so much. -T. Thorne
