There are three pillars to Yomassage: touch, stretch and breath. Breath is focused on using yoga techniques and looking within. Stretch is achieved by being guided into supported restorative yoga positions. Touch is given to the client(s) by a licensed massage therapist while each position is held for eight to 10 minutes.

Yomassage is taught in a small group setting but can also be offered in a one- or two-client session. Being fully clothed and being in a group setting gives practitioners of this modality the unique opportunity to make therapeutic touch accessible to more people. Clients have reported that it’s very relaxing and that it can release tight areas that a typical massage doesn’t. The only requirement to participate is the ability to get up and down from the floor. There are also options for prenatal Yomassage, which has the same fantastic benefits for mom and baby as regular massage.
