What is Thai Yoga Massage?
Thai Yoga Massage is practiced on a thick mat on the floor, the client fully clothed in loose comfortable attire. It is a sequence of movements combining compression, assisted stretching, acupressure, muscle tissue manipulation and energy balancing. The effects are felt body wide, increasing circulation and flexibility, promoting deep relaxation of both deep and superficial tissues. It has a calming and quieting effect on the nervous system and many report going into deep states of meditation during the massage.
Overall, Thai Yoga Massage optimizes the body's own ability to heal and to bring one back into balance physically, mentally and emotionally. Thai Yoga Massage is ideal for athletes and yogis, people who are uncomfortable lying on their stomach, children, or for anyone wishing to experience this ancient healing practice.
