Barnes Myofascial Release and Cranial Sacral Therapy from Sacred Journey Institute. Jon also uses techniques from Table Thai Massage. Introduced to healing techniques when he was just 13 years old, Jon has since continued his journey in healing which only helps him assist his clients. For Jon, the process is a collaborative one where he doesn’t “fix” you, but helps you balance and heal.

Thai Bodywork at Balance Yoga & Pilates

Katy Lara - Thai Bodywork 

Steeped in Ayurvedic/yogic wisdom and healing practices, Thai Bodywork was introduced into temples over 2,500 years ago. This therapy combines deep stretching, acupressure techniques and meditative breathing to give full body relaxation with many health benefits.

Combining her yoga assisting and adjusting techniques with the traditional Thai Bodywork practice, Katy creates a passive yoga experience that leaves the client with a sense of peace for both the body and mind. This full body treatment relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the energetic body.

Thai Bodywork is done on a floor mat with the client fully clothed in comfortable yoga style clothing to allow for movement and flexibility. No oils or lotions are used.
