Thai Yoga Massage:
What is Thai Yoga Massage?
Traditional Thai Yoga Massage is a unique form of bodywork dating back over 2500 years. Originating in India and based on an ancient Buddhist health system, the technique was first used by Thai monks as a means of invigorating the mind and body.
A unique combination of massage, acupressure, gentle stretching and applied yoga create a dynamic and powerful healing massage. Tension held within the body is released and energy (Prana) is encouraged to flow freely, thereby allowing the body to heal itself and restore its general sense of harmony, balance and well-being.
