Auburn Yoga & Pilates Center

Auburn Yoga and Pilates Center is also offering Massage Therapy and Reflexology. Tresann Avenia, a certified Massage Therapist, certified Barefoot Practitioner and licensed Physical Therapist Assistant will be offering deep tissue massage, Ashiatsu (Thai technique), hot stone therapy, Swedish massage, and reflexology for hands and/or feet.

Deep tissue massage is a technique done with hands, elbows and forearms to help alleviate spasms and adhesions in muscle tissues which can be the main causes of migraines, neck/shoulder pains, sciatica, and other chronic ailments. The pressure during this massage is deep and penetrating, but always done at to the client’s tolerance to assure comfort and relaxation.

Ashiatsu is a technique of massage therapy performed with the feet. "Ashi" means feet, and "atsu" means pressure. Ashiatsu is usually performed on a massage table with the barefoot practitioner holding onto bars on the ceiling and gliding over the body, giving just enough foot pressure to relieve tension and toxins in muscle tissues. But because the room at AYPC has drop ceilings, Tresann will be performing a Thai style of Ashiatsu. This style is done on a futon mat on the floor with the barefoot practitioner giving pressure with one or both feet, while adjusting pressure by sitting on a stool or holding onto bars on the ground. Ashiatsu releases toxins and tension, and replenishes rest and relaxation.

Hot stones therapy is a massage done with hot river rocks. The rocks hold in heat, and are then used as a massage technique. The heat from the rocks helps to relax the client and muscle tissues. This also assists in releasing muscle tension and spasms.

Reflexology is a technique that is done on the hands and/or feet. The palms and soles of the hands and feet are a mirror image of the internal and external body. Giving pressure to specific areas of the palm and sole will create a "balancing" effect in those areas of the body. For example, the big toe is the replica of the brain/head. Therefore, by giving pressure to a specific area of the foot, a headache can be relieved.

Swedish massage is a traditional relaxation massage. It is very flowing, gentle and involves very little pressure. This technique promotes calmness and relaxation in the body.
