Can I Take Up Yoga And Go For Massage Once A Week

This is a very fascinating question. But first let me give you a brief history and introduction to this topic. Yoga and massage have had a deep connection for centuries. Yoga is a holistic experience comprising of physical, mental and emotional rejuvenation through various Asanas (poses) and Pranayamas (breathing techniques). The massage complements Yoga and adds a therapeutic effect to revitalize and refresh your body. Ancient pieces of texts have indicated that Yoga and massage have been a potent combination for warriors in the sub-continent and were used to treat soldiers after a long day of battle.

Coming back to your question, I think it’s an excellent idea to take up Yoga and go for a massage treatment once a week. The massage treatment industry is phenomenal today and is reaping big profits. No, not because we are fighting wars and battles but we are fighting something bigger and tougher. It’s our own body to whom we have given no rest and respect because of our busy schedule and on-the-go lifestyle.

One of the best massage treatments in the world is the Thai Massage but many do not know or assume that this technique comes from Thailand. But in reality the Thai massage has its roots in the Indian medicinal science of Ayurveda. This treatment combines various Yoga postures along with a massage using palming and thumbing techniques. According to Ayurveda there are specific pressure joints in the body called ‘Sen’. When these are stimulated, they have a curative effect by relieving muscular and skeletal stress. This massage also boosts blood circulation and improves the immune system.

I would strongly recommend a session of Thai or Yoga massage as it improves your bodily functions and enhances your Yoga practice. When opting for a Yoga massage treatment Make sure your practitioner is qualified and certified to provide Yoga massage treatments. Yoga has become a fitness fad and massage treatments are an even bigger craze, which sometimes leads you into the wrong hands of unqualified massage therapists who do more harm than good to your body.

So the next time you decide to go in for a Yoga session, don’t forget to visit a specialist Yoga massage center as it will give your life a much needed revitalization and transformation.
