thai yoga massage

Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient healing art that incorporates acupressure massage, energy work, yoga-type stretches and gentle joint mobilisation.

The recipient wears loose clothing and lies on a firm mattress on the floor. The therapist leans into the recipient's body using hands, forearms, knees or feet to apply a firm rhythmic acupressure massage to almost every part of the body. The recipient can be put into yoga-like positions during the course of the massage, to stretch and massage all areas effectively. The flexibility and comfort of the recipient will be considered at all times during the application of techniques.

The Thai Yoga massage generally follows the Sen Energy lines on the body (the Sen are comparable to Chinese meridians). The combination of acupressure and stretch along these energy lines, allows the body to release tension and energy blockages, restoring health and vitality to every part of the body on all levels.

Thai Yoga Massage is a wonderful experience for both giver and receiver where the sense of time disappears and deep healing occurs. This treatment cannot be rushed and will mostly take 1-2hours, (average 90 mins). For full body treatments allow 2 hours. For more specific work like legs or back it may be possible to do a 1 hour treatment.
