Synopsis of therapy
Traditional Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art, which has been handed down from teacher to pupil since the third century BC.
Thai Massage works on an energy line system (Sen lines) through which the body's natural life force flows.
Blockages in this life force cause aches, pains and disease.
The therapist uses hands, feet and elbows to apply pressure to important points along these lines, in combination with gentle stretching and applied hatha yoga techniques. This releases blocked energy and frees the body's own natural healing potential, thus restoring balance, health and harmony.

About Chris
Unusually, Chris Cozens has a background in the RAF, where he served for 22 years before deciding on a radical career change in 1996. This came about after he went through a difficult emotional period in his life, when he turned to a reflexologist for help. He then saw a crystal healer and Shaman. He began attending workshops himself and hasn’t looked back since. Chris has widened his knowledge by attending countless workshops and training, from healing to a wide range of therapies.
Chris’s teaching has recently taken him from Trinidad to Spain, to training within mental health organisations such as MIND, teaching blind and deaf individuals and a world-wide hair salon chain. Chris is a complementary teacher and therapist with a difference. His style of teaching is fun, friendly, relaxed and highly informative.
In 1998 he established Life Arts, offering complementary therapies and specialising in Indian Head Massage. Today Life Arts offers a wide variety of training including The Association of Natural Medicine (ANM) accredited courses and Chris organises his own popular mind-body-spirit exhibitions.
Since 1999, more than 1,500 students have chosen to train with Chris, studying his Professional or Introductory Complementary Therapy training courses.
