What is restorative stretch? Yomassage positions are inspired by restorative yoga. In restorative yoga, you relax in gentle, restorative stretches supported by props that allow you to slowly lengthen muscles and get into the deep connective tissue over 8-15 minutes. Gentle stretching is similar to massage in that it increases dopamine (the happiness hormone) while decreasing cortisol (the stress hormone) and the body's stress response. And the best part...in Yomassage we add therapeutic touch + mindfulness to each position. The restorative positions we use in Yomassage are accessible to everyone who can get up and down off of the mat. You don’t need to be “flexible” at all or have any prior yoga experience!

How often should I book a Yomassage session? Research shows that we start to see a positive impact when we receive 10-15 minutes of safe touch each day! If you have the time and the means, why not every day?? Try to book a Yomassage session at least once a month, and if you can, go daily or weekly! And try to be intentional about incorporating safe and positive touch into your daily life to help improve your sleep, feelings of connectedness, and mental health.

Why do we combine touch, stretch, and breath? While all of these modalities are amazing on their own, combining them in a single session provides an opportunity for healing and relaxation like no other. When you experience Yomassage, you will activate the parasympathetic nervous system and create an environment for your body to relax and relieve stress like never before. And it only gets better the more you practice! Sign up for your Yomassage session today! Link in bio. #yomassage® #yomassageoswego #oswegomassage #supportselfcare Yomassage

Why do we crave therapeutic touch? We all know that after a massage we feel better… but why? Why do we look forward to the yoga instructor’s adjustments or light touch at the end of class, or feel better after receiving a hug? Research shows the right kind of touch can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels, stimulate the hippocampus (an area of the brain that is central to memory), and drive the release of a host of hormones and neuropeptides that have been linked to positive and uplifting emotions. The physical effects of touch are far-reaching. To sum it up: Touch is essential to the human experience. Touch can impact anxiety, depression, stress, and the nervous system. Infants can have developmental delays associated with touch deprivation. Massage decreases symptoms of PTSD among military veterans. Touch trains neural pathways – safe, therapeutic touch re-trains the brain to predict safe interactions. While yoga has been shown to be extremely beneficial for both the physical body and emotions, adding the powerful element of touch has the potential to exponentially increase positive effects for the mind and body.
