Traditional Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient Thai healing art. A dry massage, it is based on an energy line system (10 Sen) that distributes life force throughout the body.
Blocks in these energy lines cause aches, pains and disease. Stretches are combined with pressure using hands, feet, knees and elbows on important points along these lines. The release of the blocked energy restores balance, health and harmony.
Thai Yoga Massage gradually opens up the body, increasing joint mobility and flexibility. As muscular tension is released, there is free flow of blood and energy to the tissues and organs. The lymph system is stimulated, which helps the natural detoxification process and strengthens immune response.

The free flow of energy has both physical and psychological beneficial effects. It releases tension and opens up the entire body, thereby alleviating common ailments such as lower back pain, arthritis, headaches, digestive difficulties, menstrual problems and stress-related conditions. Thai Yoga Massage takes both the client and the practitioner into a deep state of relaxation and well being.
Since most of the postures come from the Yoga tradition, Thai Yoga Massage includes the benefits of Yoga. In our method, students also learn about Yoga philosophy and its application for the well-being of the individual.
Thai Massage is done on a firm, supportive mat or futon on the floor. Light clothing is advisable for best results.
