 Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy takes the next step in
healing; it goes to the essence of self-transformation. It
is nurturing, healing and life-empowering. This practice
joins the wisdom of hatha yoga with the wisdom of
body-mind principles and contemporary psychology. It is
client-centered, rather than directive or instructional. It
recognizes that each person is unique and it does not hold
up any ideal way of being. It is non-prescriptive – it does
not tell you what it thinks you aught to be doing with your
life. Rather, in a setting of unconditional, nonjudgmental,
positive regard, using assisted yoga postures and
non-directive dialogue, you are invited to focus on the
deeper layers of connection between your physical bodily
sensations and emotions and thoughts (ideas, memories,
images). Through this process of exploring and
verbalizing your experience you may access underlying
meanings and causes of bodily held sensations and how
they relate to your day-to-day life – to the choices you
make… and, to the choices you don’t make. Long held
bodily tensions and pain shift and along with symptomatic
release you may experience deep relaxation, mental
clarity, a clearer sense of purpose, and change on a life-level. The result is powerful – a new and
empowered life. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
"Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is an holistic healing art. It invites presence and awareness, rather
than prescribe treatments. Using age-old yogic approaches to deeper presence and awareness
we are able to know ourselves more fully. Out of this knowing, we are more easily moved to
embrace the opportunity for change, growth and enhanced well being in body, feelings, thought,
and spirit."
Michael Lee, Author and Founder Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy

 Thai Yoga Massage Therapy
Drawing from the teachings and approach of the
Lotus Palm School of Thai Yoga Massage, this is a
loving-kindness practice employing yoga postures along
with the knowledge of energy lines in the body. It was
developed by an Ayurvedic (Eastern Medicine) doctor,
Jivaka Kumarbhacha, in India over 2000 years ago as a
response to the bodily aches and pains of the monks at
the temple who sat for long periods of time in meditation. As such, it combines the science of Ayurveda with yoga
and with the underlying principle of “metta” – a Buddhist principle for loving kindness. It gets to
the heart of what is behind any yogic based healing practice: compassion. The effect of a
compassionate presence, along with the knowledge of how energy (prana) moves in the body
and yoga postures, is subtle and deep healing. It is a healing practice that is worldwide and is a
routine form of health care throughout Thailand.
Thai Yoga Massage Therapy is not a ‘massage’ in the popular sense. The client is fully clothed, it
is performed on a mat on the floor, and there is no kneading of muscles. Rather, while being held
in a yoga postures, sometimes using props like a bolster so that the client can relax, the
practitioner uses a rhythmic rocking motion to gently lean into points along the energy
lines that run through the body. The practitioner may use his or her thumbs, palms, elbows,
forearms, feet or knees. This allows the practitioner to sense points of tension and tightness so
that the practitioner can meet the unique needs and comfort level of the individual. Practitioners
who also have knowledge of Ayurveda and different constitutional types can completely customize
the session to respond to any current imbalances the client may have.
The result is that physical and concurrent mental, emotional and spiritual energy blocks are
opened. Held tensions are released creating a free flow of balanced energy and an enhanced
state of well-being. Physiologically there is an overall cleansing of toxins from the lymphatic
system, joints and muscles resulting in less stiffness and pain. The overall effect is a profound
sense of centered well-being, peacefulness, rejuvenation and restoration. During the session
many clients experience a state of Yoga Nidra, a very restorative and deep healing form of
relaxed consciousness. No prior yoga experience is required.

imbalances. This assessment includes pulse diagnosis and will give you information
about your basic physical constitution and how to maintain overall good health.
The assessment will include information about the kinds of yoga practices that will
support you, as well as breathing and meditation practices, diet, herbs and spices,
and life style.
This is a valuable practice if you want to learn more about yourself and specific
ways you can take charge of your own health using natural options and making
changes in your life-style for overall health maintenance and well being. 1-2 hours

Marma Point Therapy: The science of Marma (sensitive points) in the body
that have direct pathways to organs, tissues, mental and emotional/mental
states is an ancient Ayurvedic healing practice. Depending on your specific
imbalances, various marma points will be cleared of blockages and opened. This
is a profoundly powerful practice with deep healing.
Marma Therapy is a healing and restorative practice that works at the vibrational
level of the body to open and clear the body of toxins. It restores and balances
the essential life force “prana” enabling and sustaining good health. This very
gentle yet powerful practice addresses the whole spectrum of physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual health. Marma Therapy releases, stimulates and treats
areas of stuck prana and creates a greater receptivity for new prana and health.
Prana is our source of life energy - without prana there is no life. 1 hour
