Hi Tiffany. I agree and that is why different classes fit ceratin body types, previous injuries, etc. I believe a personal practice is very important so you can go inward and practice what our inner guidance tells us.

Gordon- love the comment and agree...only thing is we live busy lives and sometimes have to take classes to fit this time in. It does come naturally and we should listen to the wisdom of our bodies.

Cats stretch.  They dont need to take classes.  And they never do it wrong.

I've encountered grey area's whenever I attend yoga classes. I've been with an ankle that I sprained about four to five times throughout my lifetime and it has not healed 100%. In yoga classes most of the instructors have "fixed" me while I do certain poses and since my ankle is painful at times, it's difficult to explain that to the instructor while their teaching the class.

With that said; I believe that yoga is a very sacred and spiritual gift for each individual. Each person has their way of posing therefore compromising muscles will always take affect.

Nice Info Karina. Really Yoga is also helpful for our body than Craniosacral therapy.

I agree with you.

In response to Zia:

I believe yoga therapy should be taught by a licensed yoga teacher if you are going to use the word yoga. I think what the term yoga massage therapy means is yoga stretching which is a lot like Thai massage. Cranial sacral therapy is much different. Very gentle work with specific holds working with the Cranial sacral system and does not do physical stretching. What do you think?

 

Travis: I think Yoga for Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers is a great course to help with alignment while working and prevent injury :-)

So glad all of you have joined this site.

 

Yoga Tip:

Yoga helps us learn not to work with our ego all the time. Yoga is for self-awareness and is not to be used as competition with yourself or others. To prevent injury while doing yoga, utilize your breath, work with your stretch point, use body awareness, and learn from a qualified instructor.

Hey group friends, can you tell me what is difference between yoga massage therapy and craniosacral therapy?

Hello Community. I'm interested in re-establishing my practice in the near term. I have a growing interest in yoga and its potential connection with massage. I just wanted in introduce myself and would welcome any and all communications with therapists who are now integrating yoga and massage in their practice.

Hi Karina! Haven't had the chance to get over to this site much! Hope all is well!

This is great!  I have found that the yoga/massage combo has been a great benefit to my life.  Yoga energizes my body at the start of the day, and restores it after a long day of work.  Especially after giving massage.
