Leslie Brennan
I feel very fortunate to have discovered the therapeutic art of Thai Yoga Massage and the ability to act as a conduit for its healing capacities. The ancient practice is rooted in the concept of metta - loving kindness - goodwill and the sincere wish for the welfare and genuine happiness of others. It is this underlying current that inspires my work. My goal is to help people feel their best; to connect to their breath, their bodies, and their potential for optimal wellbeing.
It was during my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training that I came across this healing modality, and deeply resonated with its holistic and dynamic approach. I decided to pursue it further, and become a Certified Practitioner. The integration of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics alongside more subtle energetic systems is what makes this such a unique and comprehensive form of bodywork.
I’ve travelled to Thailand to connect to the source of the teachings, spending time at some of the pioneering schools, as well as participating in several meditation courses, deepening my personal and professional practices.
I’ve been working through numerous outlets; yoga studios and retreat centers as well as in-home sessions. My approach and set up is adaptable. I’m mobile- able to come to you or host a space for the massage. Whether it’s a focus on releasing tension and stiffness, or a deeper energetic experience, I adapt and customize the treatment to address the specific needs and requirements of each client.
