Yoga Interweaved with Thai Yoga Massage

with Ireni Stamou

This is a wonderful session for those wanting hands on assists in a yoga practice. By receiving Thai Yoga hands on assistance you will gain a deeper somatic awareness and knowledge of your anatomy and explore how you can experientially align in your movement. Within a gentle Hatha yoga session you will receive Thai Yoga massage throughout the poses. Thai yoga massage is one of the worlds foundations of massage. The practitioner will gently stretch, twist and offer bodyweight, apply pressure with her elbows, knees, palms, and thumbs. Participants will also be introduced to energy work, breathwork and meditation which helps to prepare the body, mind and spirit for receiving hands on work.

Ireni has been practicing bodywork for 20 years and in the last decade she made an important passage in her healing work in Costa Rica: a vibrant eco culture and yoga mecca. Most notably in the last 5 years at The Harmony Healing Centre in Nosara.

Ireni is a certified practitioner from the Lotus Palm School in Montreal and she has mentored with Nancy Topf :Dynamic Anatomy in New York.

Exciting new beginnings brought Ireni to root in the Peterborough community with her family, and, where she will be sharing her practice.

“It was a priviledge to work with Ireni Stamou during my stay in Costa Rica. Her classes were amazing and the bodywork she does is truly transformative. She is incredibly perceptive and intuitive and in our first session she completely changed my lower back. I wish she lived in New York so I can see her more often.”
