I ain’t joking. There is indeed such a thing as getting more flexible without effort.
It’s called Thai Massage. It is also referred to as lazy man’s yoga. You just lie there and let me do the work of stretching, moving and massaging you. When you get off the mat your hamstrings are longer, your back straighter, your hips looser and your shoulders more relaxed.
Many people go through the trouble of practicing yoga. I love it!!! I am a major yoga freak and certainly encourage all my clients to practice it if they are so inclined. But for some it just ain’t the thing to do. For others, it may be their thing, and they just need that extra boost to improve their practice. In either case, that’s where I come in.
See, the thing is, when you get older, and we all do (BIG NEWS!) our bodies get more and more inflexible from driving, sitting at a desk, computer work, yard work, and so on unless we give the good ol’ body a nice lengthening. And flexibility is very important.
Reflect for a minute.
You got the idea. Flexibility is important and truth be told, for most of us that ain’t coming naturally. There are just too many activities in day-to-day life that have the opposite effect.
Let’s check out a few Thai massage poses and what effect they have. But before we go there I should tell you, a bit more about Thai Massage. Thai massage is done on the floor on a mat. And as the receiver you are dressed in loose, comfortable clothing. That way I can move you around, stretch you, massage you, cradle you. Check it out:
