Yomassage is about nervous system regulation and stress relief. Participants experience a mix of gentle, fully clothed restorative yoga postures (no flexibility needed). One lies in each position for 10-15 minutes with light touch/compression, breathwork and guided meditation. It’s like stacking all of the best calming practices into one session enabling participants to drop out of “stress mode” and reset.
