Yomassage
THE PHILOSOPHY
Yomassage was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to therapeutic touch.
In addition to offering massage at an accessible rate, Yomassage classes appeal to many people because they are fully clothed and the class is offered in a safe environment.
The 'Yo' in Yomassage is based on the principles of yoga: focus on the breath and the yogic philosophy of looking within. The combination of touch, gentle stretch, and mindfulness provide an avenue for relaxation and healing.

THE PRACTICE
Our Signature Class is a fusion of restorative positions enhanced with therapeutic touch by a licensed massage therapist.
Students relax in these positions on a mat for up to 10 minutes while the therapist provides therapeutic massage techniques to deepen the practice.
Sessions can include guided meditations and visualizations.

F.A.Qs. for Yomassage
Where is the session held?
Sessions are held at Bear Cave Lake, 1126 Simons Rd., Oswego, IL. Enter through the 2nd open gate. Park in the lot and walk to the open air barn to begin your session.
Are there any requirements needed to sign up?
Yomassage is for everyone. All you need is the ability to get up and down off of the mat. You don’t need to be “flexible” or have yoga experience. You don’t need to have a regular meditation practice or get frequent massages. We want everyone to feel 100% welcome and comfortable when they are experiencing a Yomassage session.
What do I need to bring to the event?
You don’t need to bring ANY props! We will provide everything and have everything set up for you when you arrive.
What should I wear to the session?
Wear comfortable clothing. Yoga pants, comfy sweatpants, and a t-shirt or tank are always a good choice. We'll be in an open-air barn, so dress for the weather! Layers are a good option as it may cool down during our evening sessions.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
There are no refunds or cancellations within 7 days of the session. The class size is very small, so space, props and time will be held for every ticket sold.
Is Yomassage yoga?
No. It is inspired by restorative yoga, but it is not yoga. Yomassage is the union of restorative supported stretching, hands on massage, and mindfulness through breath.
What do I need to prepare for a Yomassage session?
A Yomassage Client Intake Form and Liability Waiver is required to be completed 24 hours before the session begins. This allows the Yomassage therapist to be fully prepared for your session, and can customize it to your specific need. We will send you these forms after you book your session.
Are private Yomassage sessions available?
Yes! We can customize and book a private Yomassage session for your group of 5 or less. The cost of a private 90 minute Yomassage group session is $250.
