THAI MASSAGE & AGUAHARA IN CABARETE BY LÉA MOURADIAN
Thai Massage is a grounding, relaxing, and deep bodywork, which includes stretching and acupressure massage. It’s also called “Lazy Yoga.” It’s beneficial for flexibility, blood circulation, a better capacity of movement, muscle pain release, and deep relaxation. Léa Mouradian‘s practice is a mix of Traditional, Dynamic Thai Massage (kind of in a flow) and Osteo-Thai (when the occidental medicine meets the oriental). Léa always adapts her massage depending on your physical and mental state at the moment because she knows that you feel different every day.
Aguahara is an aquatic experience where you break free from gravity, let go of tension through movement and water. Léa will guide you on the surface and underwater (if you prefer), letting the element and your natural motion do the work & surrender. Aguahara and the water therapies are known for their benefits on joint pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and anxiety.
