The Practitioner

Robert Cuozzi LMT*, RYT  has been a certified yoga instructor since 2002; a certified Relax & Renew Trainer since 2004; a certified practitioner of Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Bodywork since 2005; and a Certified Massage Therapist since May, 2011. (Massachusetts Licensure in process.)  His mission is to listen closely to the messages each client's body is communicating, and to respond with compassionate, healing touch in order to alleviate discomfort and create immediate and lasting joy.

A longtime practitioner of Ayurveda, Vipassana meditation, Hatha yoga and holistic living, Robert has spent the last two decades studying, practicing, and teaching time-honored modalities that celebrate the body, mind and spirit.   From 2005 through July 2010 Robert owned and directed the leading Yoga Studio in Albany, NY, founding the Yoga Teacher Empowerment Training, RYS, a unique program that utilized the yoga teacher training format as a vehicle for profound self-transformation.  In 2007 his Thai Yoga Bodywork was showcased in a feature article for the Albany Times Union. 

Robert completed his study of traditional Western massage at The Massage School in Easthampton, MA.   A recipient of an $8000 tuition scholarship, and one of the most-frequently requested therapists in the student clinic,  Robert consistently received high praise in client evaluations during his 200 hours of clinical practice.   As a longtime student of Eastern philosophy and holistic mind-body healing, Robert has also developed an "East meets West Fusion Massage" technique that incorporates key components of Thai Yoga, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic Massage and energy work into more "traditional" table massage sessions.  Utilizing a highly developed sense of intuition as well as a solid knowledge of Ayurveda, this constantly evolving method reaches beyond the crucial layer of the body, into the deeper, energetic layers of the human energy field, thus giving each client the opportunity to work with consciousness (energy) as well as form  (matter) to achieve lasting health, balance and happiness.

Currently a resident of Massachusetts's Pioneer Valley, Robert is an avid Triathlete committed to friendliness, self-awareness, and living in harmony with his community and with nature.
