How it started vs. How it finished 😍

During the month of May for Mental Health Awareness month, you may have noticed these coloring murals in each of our clubs. We hope that you were able to stop for a few moments to create a beautiful piece of community art, and that it helped you destress and smile for a moment or two. Maybe you even found a new hobby 🎨

Just like all of our amazing members, each mural came together a little differently! Swipe to see how each club’s turned out.

Padonia- Thai bodywork, or Thai massage, is the ancient healing practice of fusing acupressure and yoga to heal and soothe the body. The combination of stretching, movement, and pressure distinguishes Thai bodywork from other styles. Another trait unique to Thai bodywork, is that it is typically performed on the floor or a Thai mat- this allows the practitioner more leverage when going through mobility sequences. The recipient is fully clothed throughout the session.

Expected Benefits:

-Relieves joint and muscle stiffness
-Increased range of motion
-Reduces anxiety
-Energy revival
-Improved circulation and sleep quality
