Thai Yoga Massage is bodywork therapy that involves stretching and massage.  Based on yoga and Ayurvedic practices, it originated in Thailand. Its a full body treatment that can help relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and balance energy.  Techniques include compression of muscles, mobilization of joints, and applying pressure to energy points (marma points).  During the treatment, the practitioner will guide clients through yoga postures while palming and thumbing energy lines to enhance the effect in the body.

The yoga stretching releases stress from the body while other special techniques go even deeper to release stress by targeting 'marma' points. Marma points are like little brains that feed the organs, glands, nerves, and cells of the body the information they need to function properly. When stress invades the body the marma points become strangled. Thai massage frees the marma points, cleansing stress from the soft tissue and helping the body regain homeostasis.  We can then once again feel like we are 'in the flow'. 

The massage is done on a mat on the floor. Clients wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement. No oils or cream are used.

What is yoga?

Yoga is different things to different people - a philosophy, a lifestyle, a teacher, a workout, a stretch, a healer.   At its core, yoga is union - the unification of body, mind, spirit.   When we are born, this interconnectedness is in a pure state.   In the course of our busy lives, we lose our awareness of the connection. It is always there waiting to be rediscovered and fully experienced.  Practicing yoga brings this union to our consciousness so we can feel whole.

Yoga can offer methods to become more permanently flexible and to help us face daily challenges more calmly.  Through yoga we find ease, joy, delight, relaxation, stimulation, freedom. Ease with oneself, joy in this world, delight in the childlike, relaxation of tension, stimulation of the mind, freedom from pain.

 

Namaste,
