I've started using a few new tools in my Thai massage practice and wanted to share. Feel free to ask about them in your next session. :)

Pha Khaw Ma - Woven scarf used for a variety of purposes. In Thai massage, it can be used for assisted stretching, or supporting the body while rocking or applying compression. The tactile experience adds variety to the massage, and in some cases may be more comfortable for the recipient and / or practitioner. In a Sarga Thai session, the silks can be used in a similar way. They are slightly more elastic.

Tok Sen - Wooden hammer and chisel made from trees that have been struck by lightning and said to carry good energy. Used for light tapotement, traditionally on the energy lines but can also be used to work on stubborn knots or to transmit vibration to hard to reach areas. Another way to add variety to the massage.

Thanks to Jill and Heather at Living Sabai for teaching me how to use these tools. If you would like to take a workshop or purchase some for yourself check them out at https://www.livingsabai.com

I have added Sarga Thai to my service menu. This is just like it sounds, a Thai massage blended with Sarga barefoot bodywork. Thai stretching and myofascial release are both great techniques for improving mobility, so this is a good option for athletes or anyone who moves a lot. As in a standard Thai massage, this is performed on a floor mat. Athletic clothes are best.

If you'd like to book a session, you can do so on my web site. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to check on a time that isn't listed.

I am pleased to announce that I am now offering Sarga bodywork as a mobile service. Sarga bodywork is a barefoot myofascial massage modality which makes use of a fabric silk attached to the massage table for tension and balance. Myofascial release targets restrictions in fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles. Benefits include pain relief, improved mobility, addressing some postural imbalances, and stimulating a relaxation response since the fascia is highly innervated. Great for athletes! If you're interested in booking a service, you can do so at https://danielgoggans.square.site Please feel free to call or text if a certain time isn't listed.

I've added Thai Foot Massage to my service menu! A description is below. If you're interested you can book a service at https://danielgoggans.square.site

A Thai massage that focuses on your feet! A 60-minute session will begin with some aromatherapy. After briefly visiting the upper body, we will begin to focus on your feet. We will start with a gentle exfoliating scrub and then massage your feet and lower legs. As with a standard Thai massage, you can expect rhythmic compressions, joint movement and rotation, stretching, rocking, and massage techniques. We will work the energy lines in your lower legs and feet. Then we will finish by working the foot reflexes with a wooden massage wand to facilitate energetic balance and healing. Working on the feet is especially effective at activating your parasympathetic nervous system. You can expect to leave feeling relaxed, present and grounded. There is an option for a shorter 30-minute session or to add 15 or 30 minutes to any massage. Please call or text if you would like this done as an add-on. This service can be done on a mat or table. I will default to using a table unless you specify otherwise. $80 / 60 min, $45 / 30 min, $40 / 30 min add-on, $20 / 15 min add-on.

Have you ever had a Thai yoga massage? It offers all the benefits of a normal massage, plus a yoga practice. It is traditionally practiced on a floor mat and as the recipient you just relax and enjoy as the practitioner takes you through a rhythmic flow of compressions, rocking, and yoga-like stretches. Intended to improve overall health, the Thai system was influenced by Chinese and Indian practices as well as Buddhist culture. It is a moving meditation intended to bring both the recipient and the practitioner into a greater state of presence, to balance the energy, and improve health. Plus it's just fun. :)

If you're interested in trying it out you can book an appointment on my web site at https://danielgoggans.square.site
I'm mobile in the Savannah area within a 20 minute drive of downtown. Feel free to DM if you have any questions or would like to check availability.

Tomorrow will be my last Yin Yoga class at Luminous. It's at 6:30 pm if you're interested. So grateful to have had the opportunity to teach there! :)

I will be accepting bookings for Thai Massage and meditation instruction at Luminous Savannah on Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting next Tuesday, 12/5. If you're interested you can book on my web site at https://danielgoggans.square.site

Thai Yoga Massage:

This style of massage features rhythmic compressions, rocking, and yoga-like stretching. It is a heart-centered moving meditation intended not just to relax the receiver but to increase present moment awareness and balance the energy. It is done on a traditional floor mat wearing clothes. Loose, comfortable clothes are recommended like you might wear for yoga. 60 - 90 minutes.

Meditation Coaching:

A meditation coaching session begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and practice, then guidance in meditation techniques appropriate to your goals and a short practice followed by a few minutes for discussion. The aim is to provide the support and instruction needed to develop your own self-guided meditation practice. Appropriate for beginners or those with an existing practice since instruction will be personalized. 60 minute

I'm looking forward to sharing these practices again. Hope to see you soon!

I'm excited to announce I'll be teaching Yin yoga classes at Luminous Savannah on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 6:30 - 7:45 pm this December and January. I'd love it if you could join- there are sign up links on the event pages.

Here's a little about Yin yoga if you're not familiar with it:

Yin Yoga is an awareness practice that emphasizes receptivity, tolerance, and relating skillfully to things as they are. Energetically it facilitates greater balance within the practitioner and harmony with the environment and with others. The student will hold a series of poses (typically 3-5 minutes) that gently stress the connective tissue which over time may lead to improvements in tissue structure and resilience. Within each pose and throughout the practice the goal is to simply open up to and get to know what is arising without judgment, as in mindfulness meditation. Over time this can lead to a better understanding of our true nature, and improvements in our relationships with ourselves and others as we gain insight from the practice. Appropriate for all levels.

So glad to have the opportunity to share this practice again. Hope to see you in class! :)
