Health and Wellness

Massage and yoga are primary tools to maintain health, wellness and quality of life. We provide massage therapy and yoga therapy, as well as training for professionals in these fields. To maximize the experience, we offer personal retreats for individuals and small groups in the serene setting of a quiet beach town on the California Central Coast.


Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is an essential ingredient of any formula for optimizing health and well-­being. Scientific research continues to validate what we at Dorfman Kinesiology see every day with our patients: that massage therapy provides tremendous benefits to the individual, ranging from the alleviation of pain and discomfort, to relieving the tensions and stress of daily life.

Brian Dorfman has maintained his own massage therapy practice since 1985 and is an internationally recognized healer. His ability to treat injuries has made him indispensable among Olympic and professional athletes, including national and world record holders in a number of different sports.

Along with assisting athletes of all ages and abilities to perform at their best, Dorfman Kinesiology Clinic specializes in using massage therapy to address long­term and unresolved cases of pain and discomfort. To experience the healing power of massage for yourself, please contact us to schedule an appointment or arrange for your own personal retreat with Brian.


Yoga

The benefits of yoga have long been recognized in the east while the western mind is only beginning to grasp the deep and far reaching implications of a regular yoga practice on everyday health. Such benefits include alleviation and prevention of pain and disease, rehabilitation and prevention of injury, stress reduction, weight loss, a balance of the body’s physiological functioning and enhanced mental clarity.

A master yoga teacher, Brian Dorfman has 30 years experience offering group classes and private instruction. Influenced by TVK Desikachar, Brian's teaching remains centered on the breath, and postures are precisely sequenced to enhance their therapeutic effects. Whether working in groups or with a single student, Brian's intention is to encourage each individual to attain a personalized, balanced practice. He incorporates movement, breathing and meditation to create an environment for the student's innate wisdom to develop.

Brian is a regular instructor at yoga teacher trainings with Sundara College at the Soul of Yoga in Encinitas, CA.

If you are interested in private yoga instruction, please contact us about scheduling a personal retreat or training session where you can work with Brian in a one-to-one or small group environment.
