Introduction to Thai Massage

Discover Thai Yoga therapy, a wonderful therapeutic technique to improve health and well being. Thai Yoga Massage, evolving from the ancient healing traditions of yoga, Ayurveda and Thai Buddhism, leads to greater physical awareness, grace, flexibility and spiritual energy. The practitioner uses hands, feet, arms, and legs to guide the recipient through a series of yoga postures involving fluid movements, gentle stretching, and breathwork. Performed on a floor mat in comfortable clothes, this assisted yoga creates a therapeutic "dance" incorporating rhythmic motion, palming and thumbing along energy lines to invoke emotional calming and deep relaxation.
