Thai Yoga massage is performed on a mat with loose-fitting, or stretchy
clothing and NO oils are used.
With its combination of rocking, pressing, kneading and stretching the
practitioner uses feet, knees, elbows and forearms to further the therapeutic
and harmonizing effect of this work.
Thai massage is often referred to as "lazy man's yoga".
Thai - massage or Nuad Bo-Rarn, the traditional massage of Thailand, has been practiced for at least 2,500 years.
It came to Thailand along with Buddhism and was originally practiced by
Buddhist monks in their temples.
The work consists primarily of pressure on energy lines and points, and
a large variety of stretching movements.
The stretching movements of Thai massage often resemble passive yoga asana's.
One receives all the benefits of Yoga without having to perform any of the work!
These stretches affect the entire body by increasing flexibility, releasing
both deep and superficial tension, and helping the body's natural energy
to flow more freely.
