Om Yoga Show Manchester 2015 | Overview

OM YOGA SHOW MANCHESTER 2015 Overview

 

So this year brought the promise of a bigger and better show with a new venue and a whole extra day full of things to explore, did it disappoint? Absolutely not…

The calmness greets you as you enter the venue along with a sense of inquisitive energy. Yoga newcomers, intermediates and advanced are all here nestled under one roof with one common interest, the beauty of the union that is yoga.

The really great thing about the Om Yoga Show is the diversity it has to offer; from scheduled workshops with a small fee to free open plan sessions where you can choose to take part or leisurely take it all in from the side lines.

Thai Yoga Massage with Katrin Heuser

If you haven’t tried Thai Yoga Massage then quite honestly you should, there are only 3 requirements; you have someone to work with, you can put your trust in that person and that person can remain aware of your needs throughout.

Katrin talked participants through this effective massage technique as she and her partner demonstrated instructions with this session focusing on the lower back.

Katrin explains that the first touch from your partner (the giver) is incredibly important, it should be gentle, calming and all movements given are smooth and considered. To begin the person receiving the massage is lying on the mat and the person giving the massage gently touches the tops of the receiver’s feet with their hands, this offers calmness and reassurance. A flowing series of movements follow as participants are guided through positions to decrease tension and increase mobility in the lower back, receivers are eased into stretches and their inner thighs are then supported and pummelled with the givers feet, before being moved into more stretches.

Having witnessed the tension release as relaxation and smiles glowed across the receivers faces I would have to say be the one to give first if you get the chance or make sure you take it in turns because everyone looked too blissed out after their massage to do the giving…
