Yoga |
The practice of Hatha Yoga brings awareness to all aspects of the body through breath and posture. Much like chiropractic and massage, yoga increases the body's ability to be grounded and to move with ease.
Cory has spent time the traditions of Bikram, Sivananda, Anusara, Iyengar and Shadow Yoga. The teachers that have influenced him most are Thomas Fortel, Nancy Stechert and Scott Blossom. |

Cory has a gorgeously intuitive and deeply healing touch. His gentle deftness has made him one of my favorite body workers in the Bay Area. I trust him implicitly.
- Miriam A. 6/2014 Cory is a gifted massage therapist and healer who listens both with ears and heart. His massage left me in an expanded state of peace and joy, almost a sensation of weightlessness. I highly recommend visiting Cory and experience his expertise your self. - Debra S. 6/2014 |
I have been a client of Cory Shank for the past two years. My first massage with him, was the best massage I had ever experienced.
Thereafter, I began to schedule regular appointments with him. I suffered a terrible shoulder injury in a fall and then a bad surfing accident. Long story short; Cory really understands anatomy and he designed a targeted therapy regime to focus on my shoulder condition. Not only has he repaired my shoulder, but my overall body condition from the massage and regular yoga practice has never been better. I highly recommend Cory’s services. He is fantastic. - David M. 1/2019 |
Wonderful experience! Cory is incredibly intuitive and was able to identify areas of pain and imbalance from longstanding injuries. His treatments are equally relaxing and therapeutic. I felt immediate relief from an old neck injury after our session and felt very grounded. Would highly recommend a visit!
- Erin S. 12/2023 Best body work in Marin !!! - Michael B. 1/2024 Cory has been a blessing to me in reducing pain in my body especially my knees and back. He is a treasure. - Winifred D. 3/2024 |
