"The deeper we can relax without losing awareness,
the more we can begin to feel the flow of prana that yoga promises."
– Amba Stapleton, Creator of Pranassage®
Pranassage:
-
Encourages a relationship with gravity. By allowing the force of gravity to do the work, the receiver’s body is welcome to release the weight of unnecessary tension.
-
Increases sensation, providing insight into areas of tension and openness in the body.
-
Creates a direct line of communication with the body. As the practitioner asks “would you like more or less pressure,” the receiver is able to look inward and really listen to the body to tune into what is needed, moment by moment**
Pranassage is not yoga therapy but moreso a sort of passive yoga. At The Heart Space Center, we like to explain Pranassage as similar to Thai Massage...but it's not. In Pranassage the receiver is mostly welcoming their body to receive different shapes and movements from the practitioner as they remain mostly passive - like a sort of passive yoga. In this receiving, the receiver is invited to land deeply into the flow of their own prana, or life-force-energy.
Pranassage is grounded in the science of yoga, as well as anatomy, physiology and efficient body mechanics.
Pranassage is beautiful as a stand-alone service, and also a great pairing with regular Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) sessions. With both modalities, the receiver is coming into a deeper felt sense, landing more fully into their ability to look inward (vs looking outside for the answers), and developing a deeper trust with their body.
Pranassage is often said to be relaxing and restful, allowing the body to re-set into a deeper sense of being.
*Pranassage available at a discount rated until D'Arcy completes her training. Expected graduation,
late April, 2026.
