What is Kriya massage therapy? Kriya massage therapy is a form of massage that utilizes and manipulates the natural energy within the body (the word “kriya” is actually defined as “spontaneous energy movement”) to encourage relaxation and healing. Developed by Kamala Renner in 1980, Kriya is actually often referred to as a “bodywork dance” in which the practitioner creates their own "artistic movement" and massage style unique to each client. During this dance, there are many different classic forms of massage therapy incorporated into a session, including swedish, trigger point, neromuscular, acupressure, yoga, hydro-therapy, and myofacial manipulations. What are the benefits of Kriya massage therapy? There are limitless benefits that can be achieved through Kriya massage, including: • Healing—just as with many different forms of massage therapy, one of the most often
