Thai Yoga Therapy
Get in touch with your body
bodywork + yoga + meditation + LOVING KINDNESS
Imagine a bodywork session that combines the effects of yoga, meditation, and deep tissue massage at the same time. That is the secret to Thai Yoga Therapy. Based on Nuad Bo-Rarn, the ancient medical massage style of Northern Thailand, Thai Yoga Therapy is a dynamic, therapeutic approach to healing that uses reflexology, acupressure, myofascial release, deep tissue massage, and passive stretch to promote physical, energetic, and spiritual wellbeing. This deeply relaxing, pain relieving, and soul retrieving blend of assisted yoga, mindful movement, and Thai bodywork encourages increased range of motion, relief of pain and muscle tension, muscle lengthening and flexibility, and improved lymph and blood circulation. Drawing from traditional Thai medicine, Ayurveda, Reiki, and other somatic and healing practices, Thai Yoga Therapy takes into consideration the demands we place on ourselves in today’s society. The Thai Yoga Therapy has its essential fundamentals entrenched within the concept of anatomy energy lines, also known as Sen Lines. It has a cartel between both bodily and spiritual aspects. It is a complete deep bodywork, rolling from the feet up, following the energy lines throughout the body, with the objective of clearing obstructions in these lines, and thus stimulating the flow of blood and lymph throughout the body.
the technique
Thai massage is an ancient technique involving healing through a balanced blend of physical, energetic and spiritual healing techniques and concepts. It’s a skillful combination of applying broad and targeted acupressure; finding and dissolving blockages in the network of energy lines that run through the body; opening and toning the body with yoga-like stretches; and allowing and encouraging the receiver to engage in a process of self-healing, relaxation and renewal.
the approach
In Thailand, “nuad” belongs to one of the branches of Thai medicine, which incorporates Buddhist healing principles. At its essence, Thai massage is a spiritual healing art, not just a physical therapy. Working with both the body AND energy, we will sift through the layers of limiting beliefs, old habits, holding patterns, and tension in the body, releasing energetic blockages and freeing up your range of motion to bring your entire being back to a state of natural equilibrium.
