Lukas grew up in Jersey teaching swim lessons. During that time he fell in love with biomechanics and teaching people how to move fluidly, in fluid. When he moved to North Carolina he began teaching pool aerobics as a way to further that aim. Later on he began training Muay Thai, learning more about the connection between mind and body as a means to express himself. Eventually hard training led to back and neck injuries that were devastating. That's when a Massage Therapist changed his life. After his first session he felt completely new. The next day he decided he wanted to be a Massage Therapist to help people reclaim agency over their bodies. His goal is to provide the best treatment possible to people so they can do the things they love in life, pain free.

Shine On is beyond excited to announce that we are OPEN! After almost three months of being forced to shut down, we started to really miss our clients and the rewarding feeling of easing their pain. We are at half capacity so schedule space is much more limited than before.
We are continuing to spend 20 minutes sanitizing and wiping down every surface after each service. We ask anyone experiencing any flu-like symptoms to please not book at this time (Even if it is just allergies).
We are now taking credit card information upon booking. This new feature does not charge you and you will not have to pay until after your service is complete. The reason for this is to limit the spread of germs and to protect our staff if a client is to cancel outside the 24 hour window or no-call-no-show. If you decide to cancel and do not do so within 24 hours of booking your appointment, you will be charged for 50% of whichever service you chose. Wow! That sounded harsh! At Shine On, we understand that cancellation policies can sound a little harsh but we plan our day around these appointments and in these difficult times, our schedule space is extremely valuable to us.
We hope everyone is being safe and we can not wait to see all of our wonderful clients again! Shine On through this, you crazy diamonds!
What is a Shine On Show Up you ask?? A Shine On Show Up is where Shine On literally shows up to a school, fire station or hospital and gives complementary massages to the staff! Today was our very first Show Up and we could not be happier. Seeing the look on the teachers faces when they got off the massage chairs made it all worth it. If you know a teacher or a nurse or a fire fighter then please go give them a big hug and thank them for everything they do.
The way we see it is, these are all of the people who we count on to mold our youth and protect us and keep us alive and safe so why not help them by relieving their stress and tension?! If you fit any of our 3 categories then keep your eyes peeled because Shine On just might Show Up to your business next!
Facials and facial massage are beneficial for all skin types and concerns. Pollution, dirt and dead skin cells accumulate and leave the skin dull and lack luster. As we get older, our skin cell turn over slows down causing it to age. Just as the muscles in our body need exercise and massage, so do our facial muscles. At Shine On, we make sure to address individual needs and concerns incorporating facial massage to relieve tension and congestion. With our all natural products and modalities such as Gua-Sha and Cupping, you will leave feeling rejuvenated and shining from the inside out. PROTECT, NOURISH, and REPLENISH your skin today with a customized facial and massage so you can Shine On!
Hatha yoga has been around for thousands and thousands of years. Some believe the tradition to be 5000 years old while others think it dates back as many as 10,000 years. This disparity in time is due to the fact that when Yoga was first practiced there was no written word, no paper, no way of transmission other than the spoken word. So there’s no way to know for sure how ancient this practice is. What we do know is hatha yoga is a total life philosophy incorporating how we relate to the world, to ourselves and how to attain inner peace.
In the yoga sutras, (196 sutras or aphorisms written in Sanskrit around 400 A.D.) Patanjali describes hatha yoga as consisting of eight limbs or disciplines. This is known as the eight fold path. (More on this later!)
Two well known schools of yoga were derived directly from these sutras and today’s modern styles including ashtanga, Iyengar, anusara, yin, power, vinyasa, restorative, Jivamukti, kundalini moksha, Bikram, etc. all originated from these schools.
So in essence hatha yoga is the mother of modern day Yoga as we have come to know it. With this deep history and broad definition there is a massive variation of what can be offered in a hatha class. But generally it embodies this eight fold path and incorporates relatively slow paced, deliberate asanas (postures),pranayama(breathwork)and meditation.
In my classes I like to stay true to the roots of yoga to allow the holistic embodiment of it’s philosophy. I also like to incorporate some anusara and alignment based modifications using belts,blocks,and bolsters. This makes yoga accessible to everyone and helps beginners and people with injuries or chronic conditions get into correct alignment, bringing awareness to their bodies and breath, and calm their minds.
