Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient and sacred system of healing rooted in yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, and Buddhist spiritual practice. It is a powerful system that combines acupressure, energy-line work, assisted yoga postures, muscle compression, and meditation for a deeply touching, relaxing and rejuvenating treatment.
This form of body work stimulates and balances the flow of energy within the body, bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health happiness and well-being, It combines, massage, compression, stretching, twisting, and traction along the 10 primary energy lines or pathways called, 'sen sib' , this helps to release energy blockage and balance energy flow. This practice encourages the free flow of intrinsic life force circulating within the body, while encouraging the release of chronic pain, muscle tension, and promoting deeper peace and stillness.
As part of the traditional thai healing system, this form of bodywork dates back thousands of years, it's origins influenced by both Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. While it is unknown exactly who developed the practice, Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, the Buddha’s personal physician is credited with being the father of Thai Massage.
