What is Massoga®?

“One of the most valuable things we can do in life is to learn deep relaxation - making an effort to spend some time every day quieting our minds in order to create inner peace and better health”

 

— Herbert Benson, M.D.

In a Massoga® session we have time to explore the major joints in the body and

the surrounding soft tissue with continuous sequencing and longer holds. You can expect

to feel strong sensations while stretching in the postures followed by a palpable sense

of release when you come into rebound.

 

Rebound is the transitionary time between poses lying on your back. The feelings you can experience at this time are not always physical.

​

The massage element will be applied during the postures and sometimes in rebound. This will enhance your level of relaxation and encourage greater awareness of where you might be holding unnecessary tension in the body. 

​

The experience is all encompassing with essential oils, music, yoga props, and intelligent sequencing designed to give you deeper awareness of your body and mind, combined with intuitive touch. 

 

This provides the perfect setting for deep release and relaxation. 

​

According to the National Institute of Health; chronic stress causes anxiety, depression and heart disease. Massage is an effective form of stress reduction and management. Massage provides physical and psychological benefits that counter the symptoms of stress.

​

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension. Studies have found massage may also be helpful for:

​

  • Anxiety

  • Digestive disorders

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Headaches

  • Insomnia related to stress

  • Myofascial pain syndrome

  • Soft tissue strains or injuries

  • Sports injuries

  • Temporomandibular joint pain

Massoga® is specifically designed for deep relaxation and stress release with its basis in Yin Yoga. Not only do you receive the benefits of massage, you will also experience the yin affect; cooling the body, lowering the heart rate, increasing circulation in the joints, stretching deeply into the soft tissues, and calming and balancing the mind and body. With consistent practice, it will greatly improves flexibility and mobility.

A recent study from researchers at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found that eliciting the relaxation response — a physiologic state of deep rest induced by practices such as Meditation, yoga, and deep breathing — produces immediate positive changes in the expression of genes involved in immune function, energy metabolism and insulin secretion.
