Hi [$First name],
Starting this month, we can now offer you Hot Stone Massage.
This is a special massage that uses warm stones and it is
a very relaxing form of massage.
In August we will also start offering you Yoga. More information
is available below in the letter.
Hot Stone massage
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth,
heated stones of varying sizes. The stones are often basalt, a
black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. It is a
deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The direct heat
relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity
than with regular massage.
In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen, cooling
marble stones are also sometimes used. This creates a type of
thermotherapeutic 'vascular gymnastics' in the circulatory
system to help the body detoxify and heal. The warmer stones
expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste
materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the
nervous system. The cold stones cause the blood vessels to
constrict, stimulating the nervous system and drawing blood and
waste products along the body.

Yoga
The word Yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient
India where Yoga originated. We can think of the union occurring
between mind, body and spirit.
Many people think that Yoga is stretching. But while stretching
is certainly involved, Yoga is really about creating balance in
the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This
is done through the performance of poses, each of which has
specific physical benefits. The poses can be done quickly in
succession, creating heat in the body through movement or more
slowly to increase stamina and perfect the alignment of the
pose. There is an ideal way that each pose should be done,
although not all yogis will agree about what that is.
From the beginning of August you can try Yoga in our place. We
will send you more information a week before the start of the
first class.
