Namaste’ Yoga Massage Certification 300-500 Hours
A Namaste’ Certified Yoga Massage practitioner is certified to practice one on one with individuals. Namaste’ Yoga Massage is a sacred Ayurvedic form of bodywork. Akin to Thai Massage it shares deep roots in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Buddhist practices. It is often referred to as a physical application of the Buddhist principle of "Metta" or loving kindness. Working in a purely meditative state with full awareness, mindfulness and concentration the practitioner creates a clear and pure space for transformation and healing to occur for the emotional, physical and spiritual bodies of the receiver. Drawing from ancient Thai Massage techniques, Namaste’ Yoga Massage consists of a series of interactive, flowing movements, assisted Hatha Yoga postures and rhythmic massage. The deeply meditative experience invoked from receiving Namaste’ Yoga Massage results in a profound liberation from mental, physical and emotional dis-ease.
