~ Compassionate ~
Lungta Wellness offers compassionate healing through the ancient practice of Thai Yoga Massage. A harmonious therapy, practiced as a 'duet', has become the third jewel in Paula's triple crown of healing passions & is fast becoming one of the most sought after noninvasive therapies in North America.
Also known as yoga-assisted therapy, Thai Yoga Massage is a unique healing system wherein the therapist guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures whilst palming & thumbing along the body's energy ('Sen') lines and pressure points.
This dynamic bodywork therapy combines restorative yoga, Ayurveda, reflexology, acupressure, shiatsu & martial arts to provide compassionate healing for recipients of all ages and body types. As in the case of yoga, many health insurance plans recognize Thai Yoga Massage as an holistic healing modality.
