Thai Yoga Massage
What is Thai Massage?
Thai Massage, often referred to as “the lazy mans yoga”, is an ancient and sacred form of holistic bodywork, combining the use of acupressure, deep rhythmic compressions and stretching. Thai Massage is performed on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed. Because the client and practitioner are on the same level, it allows the practitioner the ability to provide deeper pressure without expending much effort.
Similar to the meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Thai Medicine uses Sen Lines. These lines transport life force energy through out the body. When the flow of energy is blocked, disease, discomfort and dysfunction occur. Thai Massage focuses on opening up and releasing these lines, restoring balance to the body, mind and spirit.
Thai Massage is great for athletes, runners, yogis or anyone looking to improve their range of motion and flexibility. You do not need to be flexible or have a yoga practice to experience the benefits of this modality. Thai Massage can enhance energy flow, promote relaxation & improve posture. Because this modality works on fascia (connective tissue) it has the ability to provide long lasting and deeply transformative results in the physical body.
***This service is performed on a mat on the floor, you will be fully clothed. Please wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing that you can easily stretch/move in.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need to practice yoga to receive Thai Massage?
No! You do not need to practice yoga regularly or be flexible to receive the benefits of Thai Yoga Massage. Thai Massage is actually great for people with limited flexibility or range of motion.
What should I wear?
Please wear loose or stretchy clothing, anything you would wear to workout in or do yoga in should work. As we relax, our temperature drops significantly. Make sure to wear something you will stay warm in. I will always have clothes you can change into, just in case.
Why Thai Massage? What are the benefits?
Thai Massage can improve range of motion and flexibility, enhance energy flow, promote relaxation and improve posture. In this modality, we are addressing fascia and connective tissue, not just muscle, so results are longer lasting and more effective. Thai Massage is great for anyone needing deep leg or hip work, but every session will address the entire body. Thai Massage also works on an energetic and spiritual level, clearing negativity & connecting body, mind and spirit. I believe wholeheartedly in the deeply transformative nature of this modality.
