What is Cranio-Sacral therapy and what does it involve:
Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a profound healing process which can influence the deeply held patterns of disease - both physical and psycological - which accumulate throughout life as a result of injury, trauma or stress and become held into the body tissues, leading to ill-health and dysfunction.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy involves a very gentle touch of the practitioner’s hands,both for diagnosis and for treatment, which may be taken up on the cranium, the sacrum, or any other parts of the body as appropriate.
Through this light touch the practitioner is able to pick up subtle patterns of motion, emanating from within the core structures of the body.Treatment is usually experienced as a very profound relaxation which may pervade the whole person, physically, mentally and emotionally. It is soothing, comforting and pleasant creating a sense of ease, calmness and well being.
What is Integrated Yoga therapy and what does it involve:
Integrated Yoga Therapy is a program Valentina developed as a result of her studies, experience and observation, combining the benefits of Yoga, breathing and relaxation techniques with the therapeutic effects of Cranio-Sacral therapy, to create a powerful, transforming experience
Although the treatment is tailormade to address one’s personal needs and requests, an Integrated Yoga Therapy treatment usually starts with a short meditation on the Chakras, our energy centres, followed by simple stimulating and centering movements and breath work on each chakra, to start releasing the tension, channeling and balancing the energy. The core treatment consists in basic restorative Yoga postures.
While certain Yoga postures are held and relaxation through breathwork is induced, the therapist might tune into your Cranio-Sacral System, supporting and encouraging the release of tension, physical, emotional and spiritual blockages.
