Thai Massage

Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient and sacred system of healing with roots in Yoga, Ayurvedic Medicine, and Buddhist spiritual practice. The massage takes place fully clothed on a mat on the floor allowing the practitioner to use her palms, thumbs, elbows, and feet to apply pressure along the body’s energy lines and pressure points, and gently apply yoga stretches to the whole body.

Thai Yoga Massage is based on the yogic belief that vital energy (prana) flows through a series of channels in the human energy body. Obstructions to the free flow of this energy may manifest in the form of disease, discomfort or emotional problems. The aim of Thai yoga massage is to stimulate the flow of healing energy within the body, restoring equilibrium and harmony, promoting a return to good health. This enhanced energy flow relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system, and balances the body energetically. Thai Yoga Massage also generates a deep state of relaxation and promotes centeredness and well-being for both the client and practitioner.

Experience this unique form of holistic therapy that is the physical application of a form of Buddhist meditation known as metta or loving kindness, and enjoy bringing body, mind, and spirit back into balance and harmony for health, happiness and wellness of being.
