What is Thai Yoga Massage?

Thai Yoga Massage is ancient bodywork from Thailand that is an interactive and unique massage modality developed over many centuries in Thai medical hospitals and temples by leading healing professionals. With extensive roots in Indian healing arts (Ayurveda and Yoga), Thai yoga massage uniquely combines the best in Asian techniques and offers a preventative approach to health. Thai Yoga Massage (also called, Nuad Phaen Boran) is a compassionate healing approach to wellness that amazingly fuses different techniques and modalities into its own interactive and highly unique style. Such techniques include: reflexology, acupressure, passive stretching, meditation, and aromatherapy. This Lazy Man's Yoga is very therapeutic for opening and transforming the body, mind, and spirit into a place of relaxation and peace.

Why?
Thai Yoga Massage helps to:

--lengthen muscles through progressive, assisted stretching
--increase the joints' range of motion
--bolster immune system health and function
--improve circulation
--balance flow of energy in the body
--relax muscle tension
--balance the nervous system and improve nervous system disorders
--promote proper functioning of the sinuses, skin, respiratory system, heart, and digestion

How? (the best part)

Thai Yoga Massage is delivered either on a massage table or on a futon-like mat on the floor, and the receiver is fully clothed during the whole massage. Our sessions include the use of herbal treatments via Thai Herbal Compresses. These medicinal herbal packs include 10 different herbs and flowers, which are grown and dried in Thailand. They are wrapped in fabric, steamed, and then pressed along the receiver's body throughout the massage. The receiver leaves feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from the warmed herbal remedies.

 

 

Be patient with all that is unsolved in
your heart.

--Rainier Maria Rilke
