Lotus School of Thai Yoga Massage Bodywork
Lotus Palm teaches a form of Thai Yoga Massage that caters to the tastes and demands of Western society. It takes into consideration how people in North America tend to overuse their back, neck and shoulders and wish for considerably more attention to those general areas. We adhere to an integrated approach that honors the traditions of Thai Massage and establishes its Indian ayurvedic heritage but which tries to blend the strengths of both Eastern and Western approaches to healthy living. As such special attention is given to the effects of the massage on the skeletal, circulatory, muscular and nervous system. The lotus is a symbol of loving-kindness and compassion, as such ‘Lotus Palm’ means “the compassionate touch” which is the spirit of our school and our work. Perhaps the most vital element in the practice of Thai Yoga Massage is to bring a spirit of unconditional love and compassion to your work (metta). With spiritual awareness you generate your natural healing powers and develop genuine satisfaction that comes from within.

Capoeira
Capoeira is a martial art created by African slaves transported to Brasil 500 years ago. It was created in secret as a means for the slaves to protect themselves. In order to fool the slavemasters, Capoeira was disguised as a ritual dance, this allowed Capoeiristas to play in plain view of their owners, as it was illegal under penalty of imprisonment and/or death, for slaves to practice the martial arts.
Today, Capoeira is a rich cultural experience with exchanges of ideas of peoples from all over the world. Capoeira is "played", from the United States of America to South Africa, from the European Union to Japan and just about everywhere in between. Capoeira can be highly energetic and powerful to calm and serene.
Capoeira is a lifetime of discipline, showing respect to the culture that spawned it, to the nation that cultivated it, to those who came before us, and to those we will teach that will follow us on the path of Axe. -- Dentista

Thai Massage Cleveland
Thai massage is a unique form of bodywork that incorporates Hatha Yoga, acupressure, and reflexology with origins dating back to about 2,500 years. Unlike the kneading and continuous strokes of Western massage, the Thai method uses point pressure, muscle stretching, and compression, done in a rhythmic movement of gentle rocking. Through deep muscle stretching, joint release, and emphasis on breath, Thai massage offers many of the same benefits as yoga, but its uniqueness is that you remain passive while the practitioner does the movements to you and encourages you to relax more effectively.

Vipassana
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art Of Living.
This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation. Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose.
Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.
The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgements and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, the nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes characterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace.
The Tradition
Since the time of Buddha, Vipassana has been handed down, to the present day, by an unbroken chain of teachers. Although Indian by descent, the
