********************

LOVE, LIGHT & FLIGHT
(Therapeutic Flying & Thai Massage)

Flying is a dance between Shiva & Shakti, that utilizes the compliments of strong grounding energy and fluid receptive energy. It is a practice of giving and receiving, honoring and accepting, inhaling and exhaling that will take both yogis into a new place of union and bliss.

The base creates a stable platform for the flyer to receive inverted aerial asana flows, blended with therapeutic massage techniques. The relationship between partners deepens as they exchange rolse as flyer and base, increasing their capacity for trust and communication. The flyer receives spinal and muscular release while the base is the recipient of Thai Massage and the Buddhist practice of metta loving kindness.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28

Therapeutic FRONT Flying

The flyer is responsible for breathing deep, relaxing their muscles and communicating what is working and what can work better. The base uses their body with the support of gravity to sculpt the flyer into many shapes that stretch and open the flyer’s upper body. As the flyer trusts the base, the opening of the emotional body aids the opening of the physical body.

SUPINE Thai Massage (Face Up)

Each Thai Massage sequence is designed to prepare the students for a certain family of therapeutic flying, and as such, has been crafted primarily through the lens. We use each sequence as a tool to inform the practitioners of key hand and foot positions, and massage techniques for flying, as well as potent leg love moves for the base.

Therapeutic Flying Transitions

As we create our flow, transitions allow us to maintain the flyer in the air, surrendering to gravity longer and allows the base to go deeper into a healing practice. We will be able to link front and back flying in a graceful and relaxing way.
