Yoga for Massage Therapists


  • Seva Ayurveda 5320 Holiday Terrace Kalamazoo, MI, 49009 United States (map)

Welcome to our specialized yoga class designed specifically for massage therapists! This unique class is tailored to help massage therapists enhance their strength, flexibility, and longevity in their career.

Benefits of the Class

In this class, we focus on addressing the specific physical and mental demands of the massage therapy profession. The practice of yoga offers numerous benefits that directly complement the needs of massage therapists:

  1. Enhanced Strength: Through a series of asanas (yoga postures) and sequences, this class aims to strengthen the muscles and improve overall body strength. This is particularly beneficial for massage therapists as it can help them maintain proper posture and body mechanics while performing massages, ultimately reducing the risk of strain and injury.

  2. Improved Flexibility: Flexibility is crucial for massage therapists to effectively perform various massage techniques without putting undue stress on their own bodies. Our yoga class incorporates stretches and poses that target key muscle groups, helping to increase flexibility and range of motion, which can in turn enhance the quality and longevity of a massage therapist's career.

  3. Stress Relief and Longevity: Massage therapy can be physically and mentally demanding. Our yoga class offers relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and meditation practices that can help massage therapists manage stress, improve mental clarity, and cultivate resilience. By incorporating these practices into their routine, massage therapists can enhance their overall well-being and sustain their careers with vitality and longevity.

Class Structure

The class is structured to cater to the specific needs of massage therapists, incorporating elements of strength-building, flexibility-enhancing, and stress-relieving yoga practices. Each session includes:

  • Gentle warm-up exercises to prepare the body for the practice

  • Asanas and sequences focused on building strength and flexibility

  • Breathing techniques to promote relaxation and mental clarity

  • Guided meditation to reduce stress and promote overall well-being
