Jason is a passionate and dedicated Thai Practitioner and Certified Level 1 Thai facilitator, Licensed Massage Therapist and Asian Body Therapist. He is certified through NCBTMB and AOBTA and a member of NATSTA. Having graduated in Exercise Science/Physiology at Northern Arizona University, he has been pursuing a Master’s in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. While pursuing his degree, Jason elected to study massage and Asian body therapy. In his first semester, he enrolled in a basic Thai massage course taught by Chuck Duff, a renowned practitioner and teacher of Thai massage in the United States. Having been captivated by the beauty and art of Thai massage, Jason studied extensively to become a practitioner and a Level 1 certified teacher. He has been practicing since 2006 and continues to study with Chuck to become a certified teacher in the advanced levels.

 
Jason’s dedication to rehabilitative and preventative care, yoga, martial arts, and energy cultivation is captured in the calmly invigorating experience of a Thai massage session. His philosophy is to provide a well-intentioned, focused, and harmonizing treatment that serves the best interest of his client. He believes that each and everyone has a “true healer” within and that the body’s innate healing mechanisms should be listened to and trusted. Jason incorporates Luk Pra Kob, an herbal compress, trigger point therapy, and his intuitive nature to achieve a well-balanced and completely holistic Thai massage session.

 
Jason continues to study more advanced Thai massage and the correlations it has to yoga practices. He would like to pursue Yoga teacher training certification in the near future. He is also gaining  a deeper understanding of myofascial trigger point therapy  and craniosacral therapy through continuing education. 

Jason temkin was awarded Certified Thai Bodywork Instructor (TBI) status by Thai Bodywork School of Thai Massage in 2008. The TBI designation is earned through a rigorous, multi-year training process that is awarded only to individuals who have earned Certified Thai Bodywork Practitioner (TBP) status, and proven their excellence as Thai massage therapists as well as in the classroom.

 

 

Cory Temkin has been practicing yoga for about seven years, specifically Hatha Yoga and Iyengar Yoga. She has an associate’s degree from Coconino Community College in Science and has had extensive education in Anatomy and Physiology at a university level. She has completed a 200 hour teacher training program in Svastha Yoga at Yoga State in Chicago where she was educated by A.G. Mohan, Indra Mohan and Ganesh Mohan, authors of Body, Breath, and Mind and Yoga Therapy. She has been teaching private yoga sessions since September of 2007 using the Svastha style as her guide.

 

She prefers to teach private sessions rather than classes because everyone is unique and requires a different yoga session in order to accomplish yoga’s true purpose; the balance of mind, body and spirit.

 

Cory is also continuing her education in yoga therapy as well as Ayurveda and Nutrition. She tries to practice yoga in her everyday actions and interactions with her community by reminding herself that we are all connected and responsible for each other.
