Soraya Yoga

Ayurveda Yoga Bodywork (Can be combined with private yoga)

Ayurveda Yoga Bodywork (A.Y.B.) is a unique style of bodywork that combines deep tissue massage with coordinated breath-work and yoga stretching. Similar to Thai massage, AYB is performed on a mat allowing for a full range of stretching.

In addition, the deep tissue massage dissolves physical tension, while the assisted stretches and breath exercises realign the body and stimulate the natural flow of energy.

AYB also allows for a deep emotional releasing which leaves you feeling peaceful and rejuvenated. Ayurvedic oils and powders are utilized for their healing properties. (55 minute sessions)

Benefits of AYB

• Releases stress and tension.
• Induces a deep sense of relaxation and peace of mind. 
• Opens up the body increasing the flexibility of joints and muscles. 
• Deepens stretches and increases flexibility in yoga, dance and fitness practices. 
• Realigns the body, promoting correct posture and helps with many chronic conditions. 
• Increases lung capacity and brings awareness to the breath. 
• Improves circulation.
• Eliminates physical and mental toxins from the body.

"Think twice as deep as physical yoga without the effort. You emerge spacey but ethereally calm, focused and stress free." Tanis Taylor Health Editor, NY Metro

"My name is Ali Setork. I have had two lower back surgeries which involved discs and lumbar. The first surgery was 6 years ago and the second one was 15 months ago.

After each surgery I lost 30% of body flexibility. My body was very stiff and I could not turn, reach or bend without pain. I went to several physical therapists and followed all instructions. While they were all very helpful, none could eliminate my body’s stiffness. Until I met Soraya at Edward Hospital Fitness Center. She told about her Yoga Therapy / Massage and I started going to her on weekly basis. Within the first two months I gained 90% of my flexibility back. It really feels so great to be able to bend or twist or sit on your knees again, something I was not able to do after my surgeries.

Soraya seems to exactly understand which specific part of every muscle that needs to be worked on. She always pushes you to your limit but never beyond your limit. I never felt sore after her massage therapy and felt great.

Soraya integrates yoga, relaxation and stretching exercises with meditation and prayer. She is also highly spiritual with strong understanding of your emotional needs. I would highly recommend her without any reservation."
