Thai Yoga Massage

Traditional Thai Yoga Massage

Sometimes called ‘passive yoga,’ traditional Thai yoga massage is a unique form of body therapy dating back thousands of years that incorporates acupressure, yoga, and reflexology along with its own unique techniques of gentle rocking, deep stretching and compression.

Channels of energy, known as Sen lines are worked throughout the massage in order to balance the flow of energy in the body.

The movements assist the restructuring of your musculoskeletal framework with great benefits for anyone who wants to feel both relaxed and rejuvenated. Traditional Thai yoga massage is also excellent for athletes, dancers and others who seek to improve athletic or artistic movement performance.

Thai yoga massage is performed on a mat on the floor rather than a raised table. This permits many movements and procedures not otherwise practical or effective on a massage table. Rather than relying on sheer muscular force, Thai yoga massage effectively utilizes the practitioner’s body weight to transmit pressure, force, or energy. This more ‘yielding’ approach is also consistent with the principles of most traditional Asian/Oriental healing arts, and it produces a highly therapeutic effect.
