Lauren Daniel: Thai Yoga Therapy


FOI member Lauren Daniel has an office in Chicago's Southwest Side. Reach her at (773) 953-8537

Here is what Lauren says about Thai Yoga Therapy: “The modality that I practice and offer to you is great for your muscular, circulatory, immune & nervous systems. I also serve to help those who hold stress in their bodies. The Thai bodywork I provide may calm the mind/body of athletes or those with desk jobs. It creates a welcoming, relaxing break to any day. The average session with me is 90 minutes. I work with clients using traditional Thai healing techniques, which are light & relaxing. Thai bodywork enhances overall well being, helps stimulate & balance internal subtle energies. In a typical session I may stretch my client into gentle yoga poses to improve flexibility. Along with providing Thai bodywork sessions, I teach weekly Kundalini yoga classes in Downtown Chicago."


Lauren is a member of Thai Healing Alliance, Yoga Alliance & IKYTA - International Kundalini Yoga Teacher's Association. She is a graduate of the Chicago School of Thai Massage.


Gift Certificates are available for Thai Body work sessions.


Lauren also offers a free phone consultation. To arrange a time, send an email to Ms. Lauren Daniel

Avg Cost (per session): $80 - $110

Thai Bodywork can help with stress. chronic fatigue, and emotional wellbeing.

Summer Solstice

The Lyceum of Alexandria will celebrate Summer Solstice on June 20, 6 pm, at Life Force Arts Center, 3148 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago.

Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, represents the coming together of Water and Fire as the Sun goes into the Water sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon.

The month of June was named for the Goddess Juno, goddess of marriage. Thus we celebrate the Sacred Union of Goddess and God, Moon and Sun. Water and Fire...the alchemical wedding.

The liturgy for this celebration is The Mystical Awakening of Gemini which honors Artemis and Apollo, deities of Moon and Sun. You are encouraged to download a copy for your own use to bring to the ceremony. If you are unable to attend in person, you may join us in spirit by attunement.

The true alchemical marriage is that which takes place within, and unifies the various aspects of ourselves represented by Moon and Sun, Water and Fire, Inner and Outer. The Mystical Awakening of Gemini will lead us to that wisdom.

For details and to RSVP 773-304-7230 or DeeAnkh@sbcglobal.net.

Feasting and fellowship will follow the ceremony.

Please bring a pot luck food or beverage item. $10 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds.
