THAI MASSAGE
The traditional massage of Thailand is an ancient form of therapeutic bodywork first practiced over 2500 years ago. It combines acupressure, yoga, compression and deep stretching techniques utilizing the practitioner’s palms, thumbs, elbows, soles of feet and knees to release muscles and free joints. Performed on a floor mat, both practitioner and client move through four positions (front, back, side and seated). Thai massage oxygenates the blood, improves circulation, increases joint flexibility, massages internal organs, reduces stress, increases energy and facilitates mind/body spirit balance. It is often referred to as ‘yoga for lazy people.’

3rd Encuentro Internacional de Medicina Natural y Alternativa » January 30 to February 15

From January 30 to February 15 in Lázaro Cárdenas Park, the 3rd Encuentro Internacional de Medicina Natural y Alternativa (Third Edition of the International Meeting on Natural and Alternative Medicine), featuring local and International specialists from various natural disciplines will take place.

When you first walk into this show, you might think, “Oh, no, just another schlocky tourist trap.” Don’t be fooled by this first reaction. There are treasures here, both in knowledge and experience. Talk to the vendors. Skip the ones with the hype and the plastic trinkets (although some of the “trinket” booths have much more than “trinkets”). Concentrate on the ones who have something real to say. The purpose is to learn, to encounter. In the “traditional medicine” realm, there is pomada peyote, damiana, pomada marijuana, coco leaves, coffee bean necklaces, eagle-claw rattles….

Five workshops will be conducted including:

  • El de Reiki (Reiki)
  • Cristales y Cuarzos (Crystals and Quartz)
  • Yoga, que será impartido por una especialista cubana (Yoga, taught by a Cuban specialist)
  • Numerología (Numerology)
  • Herbolaria (herbalism)

Workshops that will cost an average of 300 pesos each, except those that are commercial, which will cost 2000 pesos.

There will be dance performances and experts in massage, acupuncture with the demonstration and sale of spiritual and natural products.
