Thai yoga is done on a thick mat on the floor while wearing loose, comfortable clothing and bare feet. Unlike swedish massage, you do not disrobe and are not on a table.

 

 

 

Massage works on muscles. Thai Yoga works on connective tissue such as fascia, tendons, and ligaments. Thai Yoga is a powerful system in which the practitioner incorporates martial arts moves, rhythmic motion, palming and thumbing along energy lines, acupressure, assisted yoga stretching exercises, and breathwork to create a slow, flowing dance around the recipient's body.  This creates a powerful release  of stress and tension to increase vitality and sense of well-being.

 

 

 

In receiving Thai Yoga Bodywork, you are receiving the benefits of the practice of yoga. Because Thai Yoga integrates the relaxing and stretching benefits of a yoga practice and Yoga Therapy,  including hatha yoga, restorative yoga, breathwork, pranic healing, and meditation, it is often referred to as assisted yoga or "lazy man's yoga".

 

 

 

In addition to stretching and toning the muscles, Thai Yoga is said to improve circulation, relieve muscular tension and spasms, increase metabolism, boost the immmune systems, and balance the body energetically to create a calm mental state.

 

 

 

Dress in comfortable clothing such as a jogging suit or sweats. Many people find that as their body relaxes, they become quite cool so you may wish to avoid shorts or short sleeves.  Remove your shoes when you arrive. If you have any body concerns that affect your health, be sure to share them. Do not eat at least 2 hours before your session. The session lasts approximately one hour.
