Studio Practitioners

Thai Body Work

Samantha Baker, Thai Bodywork Practitioner, Kripalu CYI and Reiki Practitioner

Samantha teaches Gentle and Beginner yoga classes at YNFL studio, as well as giving Thai Bodywork and Reiki sessions.  Thai Bodywork aims to stimulate and to balance the flow of energies within the body by working the sen lines (comparable to meridian lines) opening places that are blocked and moving energy from where there may be too much of it.  Samantha blends a number of techniques including acupressure, reflexology, passive stretching, Reiki, and deep rhythmic compressions to allow the release of stress and tension and to increase flexibility and suppleness while deepening one’s connection between body/mind/spirit. Thai Bodywork is performed on a mat on the floor using no application of oils.  The receiver remains fully clothed wearing loose fitting long-sleeved pants and top.  Experience deep relaxation and whole healing through a Thai Bodywork session with Samantha.  75, 90, and 120 minute sessions and gift certificates available. Introductory 75 minute session is $70.  978-505-1016 or trythaiyoga@yahoo.com
