Begin standing.
Close your eyes.
Separate your feet two fist width apart.
Spread out and relax your toes against your mat. 
Root down the four corners of each foot: inner ball, outer ball, inner heel, outer heel.
Unlock your knees.
Lengthen your tailbone towards your heels. 
Extend your arms slightly away from your sides with your palms facing forward. 
Roll your shoulders down your back.
Feel your collarbones wide and your chest open. 
Gently gather your shoulder blades towards your spine ; the shoulder blades cradle the heart and the lungs. 
Feel your head balanced right on top of your spine; crown of the head floats up. 
Soften your jaw.
Increase the space between your eyebrows.
Let any tension slip from your facial features.
Feel yourself as this lightening rod of energy connecting heaven and earth as you stand in Tadasana
​(Mountain Pose).

Are you tired of feeling sore after workouts? Deep tissue massage is an effective and beneficial therapy
that can improve your health and sense of overall well being. There are many benefits that come from
receiving regular deep tissue massages, and it’s important for anyone looking for tangible healing results
to consider it.

Your body is made up of numerous muscles, tendons, and ligaments that serve vital functions. Deep
tissue massage helps restore your body’s natural state by concentrating on the deeper layers of muscle
and connective tissues. By manipulating these tissues, deep tissue massage can help reduce areas of
tension, increase blood and lymph flow, and stimulate the nervous system. Ultimately, this helps to reduce
stiffness and soreness after workouts, alleviate pain, bring down inflammation, and promote a general
feeling of wellbeing. You may also experience a boost in improved workout performance and improved
range of motion as well as shorter recovery time between workouts by incorporating deep tissue massage
into your routine.

Deep tissue massage can also be particularly helpful to those suffering from chronic neck and back pain,
as well as people who have experienced sports injuries. In particular, athletes can also benefit from deep
tissue massage before and after competition to improve athletic performance and enhance their recovery
process. Furthermore, issues such as sciatica, piriformis syndrome, shoulder impingement, headaches,
and scar tissue and more can all be effectively treated through deep tissue massage.
