In Korea, this ancestral technique has been practiced among family and friends for centuries. In Europe, it was Jean Bernard Rishi, founder of the "Centre Européen du Yoga" in Paris, who introduced Korean relaxation in the 1970s.
With its rare depth, Korean relaxation soothes the mind and provides deep release for both the muscles and the joints. It is an excellent method for "letting go" and is particularly recommended for those sensitive to stress, as well as for athletes.
Concretely, this age-old technique is performed on the floor, with the recipient fully clothed (comfortable clothing or a tracksuit is recommended). It consists of a sequence of:
Vibrations and pressures
Stretches and rotations
These soft and delicate mobilizations are performed with mindfulness, using different angles and maintaining total respect for the recipient. Gentle vibrations then propagate throughout the entire body until they generate a complete release of both body and mind.
Tension release
Stress reduction
Muscle relaxation
Heart rate regulation
Improved respiratory opening
