Last updated

Breema is a form of bodywork that has been described as a cross between partner yoga and Thai massage.

Contents

The techniques may be utilized in either a practitioner-recipient mode or solo as "Self-Breema."

Purpose

The practice is intended to bring body and mind together, [1] and no strong exertions or muscular contortions are involved. [2]

Breema utilizes "Nine Principles of Harmony" which frame the practice, and are applicable to every situation in life. [3] These principles are said to assist with mindfulness in daily life.

There are at least 300 exact Breema sequences. [4]
