What is Thai Yoga Massage?

Thai Yoga Massage is a deeply healing and powerful combination of rhythmic massage, acupressure, deep stretching, gentle twisting, energy work and meditation all rolled into one experience. Thai massage is also known as passive yoga, or assisted yoga.

The massage generally follows the Sen Energy lines on the body (the Sen are comparable to Chinese meridians). The flow of the energy lines is stimulated, opening areas which are blocked and this brings the body, mind and spirit back into balance.

It is believed that the massage art was brought over to Thailand by Jivaka Kumar Baccha, known in Thailand as Dr Shivago, a contemporary of Buddha some 2500 years ago.

How can Thai Yoga Massage help me?

The benefits of Thai Yoga Massage are many:

Relieves muscular aches and pains
Increase mobility /flexibility
Relieves tension in the joints
Balances the energetic body
Relieves stress and fatigue/emotional distress
Helps eliminate toxins
Enhances circulation
Stimulates the internal organs

What happens in a Thai Yoga Massage treatment?

Thai Yoga massage is applied through loose comfortable clothing (e.g. tracksuit trousers and t-shirt) on a futon (Japanese cotton mattress).
Working on energy lines and acupressure points, the practitioner moves around the body as you lie alternately face up and face down. By palming, thumbing, gently manipulating joints and applying Hatha yoga stretches the masseur stimulates the body's natural healing response by releasing any blockages, eliminating toxins and bringing the whole self back into balance. You may be helped into a seated position for some additional work on your back, and assisted into some stretches on your side.

Thai Yoga Massage is rhythmic and relaxing yet dynamic and energising. It works on many levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It can benefit most people regardless of age, fitness or flexibility.

Treatment can be anything from one and a half hours to two and a half hours long.
It is advisable to avoid eating for at least one hour before your treatment, and set aside time to rest after the treatment.
