Thai Yoga Massage uses assisted yoga stretches, range of motion, meditation, acupressure, and massage for both relaxation and rejuvenation. It was created by Dr. Jivaka Komarpaj, physician to Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. Thai massage has roots in ayurveda and buddhism and is one of four branches of Traditional Thai Medicine (manipulation, medicine, diet, and spiritual ceremonies).
It is ideal for any body type and/or level of flexibility as the practitioner caters the session to your needs and goals.
A typical session is performed fully clothed and on a mat or futon on the floor. The therapist uses her/his elbows, hands, feet, knees, and/or forearms to help work the muscles of the client.
Among many benefits, Thai Yoga Massage can increase flexibility, helps reduce stress, improves circulation of blood and lymph, and creates an overall awareness of one’s physical and mental body. It can also be helpful with specific conditions like sciatica and asthma.
