About Gail Marshall and ommPeace
Gail Marshall
I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2005, earning my certification in Key West, FL through the Florida Department of Health, 1400 hour Massage Apprenticeship program. I became a Certified Yoga Instructor in 2008, attending a teacher-training program in Key West with Yoga on the Beach.
In both massage and yoga, I have chosen to incorporate what I love of the many styles I have learned.
My massage is integrative, combining deep tissue, myofascial, and Swedish massage, while also incorporating acupressure, neuromuscular, and Thai techniques.
Yoga has been a passion of mine since 1992. My classes are influenced by several of the styles I have practiced, including Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Yin Yoga. This variety combines to allow for the perfect balance between asanas for stretching and strengthening, as well as for the inner experience of meditation.
It is my belief that yoga and massage are important facets of a holistic lifestyle, as well as finding peace and love in our hearts, for all our fellow beings.
Others passions include the beach and the ocean, hiking, camping, and sailing, traveling, learning about others, spending time with family and friends, cooking and dining, listening to music, and dreaming.
Why the name ommPeace?
Many people are familiar with OM, the sound we often chant in meditation, or at the opening or closing of a yoga session. While there are many definitions of the word, I most often think of it as that which connects the three parts of the Self – body, mind and spirit, and then goes beyond that to connect us with all that is in the Universe and with the Divine. By connecting in this way, one fosters Peace in their own lives and in the lives they touch.
When chanting, it is a vibration we are creating, a vibration that emanates from our spirit, throughout our bodies, and out to all others. There is a chant of “OM Shanti, OM Peace,” that I like to end my yoga sessions with, and from here came the name, the vibratory omm and Peace.
