Traditional Thai Massage
& Classical Yoga Tuition

Health is Wealth - Peace of Mind is Happiness

Thai Massage
Traditional Thai Massage is the most thorough massage treatment you can get...

Using deep stretches and acupressure techniques, the body is gently opened, increasing flexibility, releasing tension and encouraging energy to travel more freely.

Thai Massage works on the health of the whole body, head to toe, front and back, physical, mental and emotional. Alignment of the skeleton is improved, muscles are relaxed, and the internal organs are toned and revitalised.

Clients experience a deep sense of relaxation during the treatment, and in the days to follow, they report feeling more positive and energised.

Thai Massage has the reputation of being painful. This is not the case if performed properly. Pressure is adjusted to suit the individual.
Yoga
Yoga is a 5000 year old system of health. Many forms of Yoga have evolved over the years, but here we teach classical Indian Yoga which ensures the mind and breath are balanced, as well as the physical body. This helps achieve mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as physical health.

The main practice drawn from is Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga aims to retain the vitality of the person, slow the ageing process, decrease the chance of disease and create peace of mind.

A typical class will consist of meditation (dhyana), breathing exercises (pranayama), flowing movement (vinyasa), steady poses (asanas) and relaxation (savasana). Techniques from Ashtanga, Kundalini and Restorative Yoga are also taught, depending on the physical and energetic needs of the students. Pregnancy Yoga is also available.

After practice, students report feeling calmer, energised and more able to focus. Posture and balance improve, aches and pains diminish, even the digestion and circulation get better.

The body becomes flexible, stronger, leaner and toned. The mind becomes more peaceful, the emotions more balanced. Improvements have been reported in back pain, arthritis, panic attacks, obesity, high blood pressure, headaches, insomnia and depression.

Pen Aldis

Yoga Teacher

Pen first started teaching Hatha Yoga in 2006, after qualifying with the internationally renowned Sivananda Yoga Organisation. This was a deeply immersive experience, living a Yogic lifestyle in an ashram for a month and learning directly from the Swamis. This led to a further Intensive Sadhana course - two weeks of 3x daily yoga practices and fasting to cleanse the body and mind for deep spiritual connection. This gave amazing insights into the true power of Yoga. Pen then went on to live in India for a month where she trained to teach Ashtanga and Restorative Yoga. She also trained in Pregnancy Yoga to give mothers and their new borns a healthy starting point.

Massage Therapist

In 2012, Pen trained in traditional Thai Massage with the highly regarded therapist Kira Balaskas. Further training in Thai Pregnancy Massage and Thai footwork followed. Then Reiki training at the Orion Healing Retreat in Thailand and Shamanic Healing with Shaman Mike Meredith. The years of training, knowledge and experience have enabled Pen to evolve into a highly intuitive teacher and therapist, who seeks the highest good for those she works with.

The Studio

Our beautiful studio is based in the village of Stow-cum-Quy, a short drive or bike ride out of Cambridge, via Newmarket Road. We have free parking on site. Our studio is light and airy and opens onto a delightful garden for outside use in when warm.

Our aim is to create a peaceful retreat, away from the stress of the modern world.

Pen is quite simply the best yoga teacher I've ever had. She was my first yoga teacher when I was a non-yogi person. Since getting a taste of her yoga magic I've done loads of yoga, but never with a better yoga teacher. Don't think twice!

Matthew Coles

Massage Client

     

I highly recommend getting a Thai massage with Pen. I have had many Thai massages over the years, a lot of them in Thailand, and this is up there as one of the best.

The massage was excellent and provided great results. I was also given tips on diet, health and wellbeing, which have helped me focus and manage my diet much better. Thank you so much.

Rachel Polonsky

Yoga Client

     

Pen is an unusually intuitive teacher and healer, a person of rare presence and gifts. Practicing yoga under her knowledgeable guidance always feels like an adventure and a revelation about the ways of the body and mind. And working with her is always so much fun! I cannot recommend Pen more highly. She is extraordinary.

Lindsay Gawthrop

Corporate HR Client

     

Pen is the best yoga teacher we have ever had. She is fun to work with and is always full of good energy. Our employees love working with her, they feel at ease and always feel encouraged. They love the fact that she cares about them. Each session is truly catered to the individuals attending as she always talks to them before the session to find out what they want to get out of the time. Restorative sessions always go down well, especially in the new year. All of our employees also love the back massages that Pen delivers. The feedback is always good, and that is why we ask her to come back time and time again. Thank you Pen for being you.
