Carol Bates Massage Therapy & Yoga Instructor

Thai massage, swedish relaxation massage and deep tissue massage. Specialized yoga with Thai massage classes. I teach classes and workshops at Jeca Yoga LLC.

I have been practicing massage since "2002", am licensed in New Hampshire as well as Maine, and have my national certification, NCBTMB. My deep interest in Eastern body work brought me to specialize in Thai massage. This is a beautiful type of massage that I describe as assisted yoga and stretching. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing you are on a futon on the floor as I move you through stretches, and gentle yoga poses, utilizing the breath. It is very relaxing and meditative, leaving you feeling calm, balanced and more flexible. I also do traditional relaxation massage and deep tissue, and incorporate essentials oils as well (on request). Practicing yoga has been a passion of mine since the mid "90's", and inspired me to become a certified yoga instructor. in Manchester and at Ohana Yoga in Contoocook. I also do private instruction. Prices for massage;
one hour- $75.00
90 minutes- $95.00
Thai massage- $110.00 90 minutes

75 minute private yoga instruction-$75.00

Stand, in the end, you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand, there's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're goin' anywhere
Stand for the things you know are right
It's the truth that truth makes them so uptight
Stand, all the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal
Stand, you've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand, there's a midget standing tall
And a giant beside him about to fall
Stand, they will try to make you crawl
And they know what your saying makes sense at all
Stand, don't you know that you are free
Well, at least in your mind if you want to be
Everybody stand stand stand

Yesterday was a snow day allowing for down time to enjoy the beauty of the landscape and create a snow alien.
Back to work today, and letting you know of openings on my schedule Thursday afternoon. Post shoveling massage or yoga is out of this world 👽

Monday yoga class. These ladies prioritize self care. Today's quote was from the book Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach

Buddhist teacher Roshi Joan Halifax talks about the importance of having a "Strong back and a soft front." We need a strong back - clarity, boundaries, courage, empowerment and the willingness to protect ourselves and others from injury. We need the capacity to be fierce, to speak truth and fight injustice. And we need a soft front - acceptance, tenderness and caring that includes all beings, even when their behavior is hurtful. By developing this mix of strength and openness, our lives become an active expression of love.

How it works is you get some friends together, pick a day/time to enjoy 90 minutes of total relaxation and peace in a beautiful, cozy environment. You can bring your own mat or not. I have everything here.

We are showered everyday with gifts, but they are not meant for us to keep. Their life is in their movement, the inhale and exhale of our shared breath. Our work and our joy is to pass along the gift and to trust that what we put out in the universe will always come back.

Thai massage is assisted yoga, assisted stretching, working the energy lines. Moving and unblocking energy. Using breath and being present, so that you really notice how everything in the body is connected. Working an area can affect and be felt in a part of the body that is further away. It affects different systems of the body as well as emotions.
These are my intentions as a practitioner for my clients.
Take good care of yourself. Massage is not just a luxury, it is excellent self care. It just happens to feel so good. 🙏
