Ariela Grodner
As I walk through the Gardens I see all of the flowering manifesting with so much exuberance. We have avocados and guava growing, and all of the flowers are breathing the wet Florida air. There are whispering glimpses of the upcoming summer we Floridians all know so well.
I always mention in class that we are one with the earth and so we too are probably feeling a bit of a flowering and awakening in our own centers. This feeling has ignited the familiar desire to teach an ancient way of sharing beauty in the world through touch.
Those who have known me through the years, know that I have a deep love affair with the ancient art of Thai-Massage. This yoga tradition of sacred touch has guided me through two decades of incredible journeys with the most beautiful people. My home has become a dedication to sharing this art and the Florida School of Massage is the great mothership that allowed me the freedom to express this joy.
There seems to be another sort of awakening happening on a deeper collective level after a great time of stillness the past couple of years. The quiet that came with reminded me of winter. There is death in winter but there is rest and nourishing as well. There is also the potential for wisdom for those who stayed strong in these times, as we are reminded of the impermanence and beauty of each moment. From the winter we now are ready to bloom again and live to our fullest potential. Nothing is guaranteed but the moment.
Thai-Massage is my offering to this community and I am delighted to share that I will be returning to the beloved Florida School of Massage for a summer program designed to nourish and invigorate your already existing practice, and/or your new practice into the field of massage therapy. A practice that is honoring one of the oldest modalities preserved in our human history. Finding the joy in service and finding a way of living that also serves oneself is, in my opinion, the key to happiness.
Ariela will be teaching a summer Thai Massage series beginning the first weekend of June, July, and August.
