Milwaukee Thai Bodywork and Yoga for Hypermobility
Becky Tesch has been teaching yoga and performing Thai Bodywork in the Southeastern Wisconsin and Milwaukee area for over a decade. She serves all bodies, with a speciality in helping those living with hypermobility syndrome (HSD). Living with hypermobility and chronic pain, Becky understands the bodily quirks, limitations, and abilities of extra-bendy folks. She has found great healing in Thai Bodywork and yoga, sharing this gift with others. Her offerings include Thai bodywork, along with Slow Flow Vinyasa Yoga and Yoga for Hypermobility classes at Vantage Collective in Milwaukee. She also teaches Yin Yoga weekly and a monthly Yoga Nidra meditation at Helium Restore Yoga in Milwaukee. Private lessons and group workshops are available upon request. With a 500 hour E-RYT certification, Becky also conducts a hypermobility yoga education module for teacher trainings.
Thai Bodywork
What is it and how do I schedule?
Thai Bodywork combines yogic stretching, acupressure, and bodily compression to release limbic and muscular tension. Unlike Swedish massage, I also use somatic breathwork to restore energy imbalances to give you mind-body-spirit rejuvenation. Though designed to improve flexibility, Thai massage can accommodate all bodily needs. I work with both hypo and hyper bendy bodies and understand that not everyone needs maximum stretch. By learning your health history and concern areas, I gauge what types of maneuvers and how much stretch is needed per client and adjust accordingly throughout the session. Thai bodywork is performed fully clothed and on the floor. Many props like pillows and bolsters and yoga blankets are used for support. I also conduct hypermobility education for yoga teacher trainings, helping aspiring teachers and practitioners understand how to work with hypermobility syndromes.

Private yoga
Yoga is not a one-size-fits-all practice. Some people want and need more flexibility or strength, while others want to calm their nervous systems and gain bodily awareness. My private classes are tailored to your mind-body-spirit needs.
A private session can combine light stretching and gentle, restful poses, or aggressive flow sequences, depending on your experience level, fitness level, and needs. My sessions can also include spiritual and somatic elements, including, but not limited to:
-
Breathwork techniques
-
Meditation
-
Chanting
-
Mindful body use
-
Philosophy

Workshops
Over the years, I’ve hosted yoga workshops for corporations, senior centers, nonprofits, community centers, and yoga studios throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. I have a few presentations ready to go, or I can develop a unique program for your groups needs that could include simple meditation, yoga, other movement and bodywork practices, breathwork or all of the above, depending on time allotted, experience level, and needs. Some could use a short breathing exercise during a busy workday, whereas others want to advance their practice.
I believe we all need the helpful yogic tools that exist in this hustle bustle world, and I make yoga accessible to all. Whether you’re looking for mindfulness basics or somatic exercises, or yogic movement, I can help figureo out and teach what you or your group needs.
Examples of my yoga workshops include but are not limited to:
Upper back neck and shoulders
A feel-better workshop for your "pains in the neck"
Currently not scheduled.
Contact me if you'd like to schedule this at your workplace or community center.
Yoga Nidra meditation
A fully guided, deeply restful meditation done laying down.

Restorative Yoga and Cloud Watching.
Just what it sounds like. Lay in Yoga poses and enjoy the sky above. Rest and imbibe nature. Currently not scheduled.
Contact me if you'd like to add this to your event, yoga studio, park or community center.
Stress management through the nervous system
Bring me in to your corporate lunch and learn, networking group or team working event. I'll get people up and moving with a little Yoga, and I'll add in a short but sweet talk bout what stress is and how it's basically all a fight or flight response. How to manage it with movement, breath work and meditation. Email me to book.
