     Thai Yoga Massage is an energy based healing system that combines rhythmic compression along the body’s energy lines; gentle joint mobilization; passive stretching, twisting and traction with targeted acupressure point massage. It is performed in a slow and meditative fashion. The recipient’s body is moved and compressed to relieve tension and clear energy blockages, but is always guided by the body’s threshold and tolerance and threshold. The practitioner’s tools are her thumbs, palms, hands, elbows, knees, forearms, feet, and toes.

     Sessions are carried out on a mat on the floor in comfortable, loose clothing, allowing the body to move and stretch freely. No oils or lotions are used.  The duration of a treatment is 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

     Benefits are countless. On a physical level, Thai Yoga Massage is suited for specific therapeutic applications on shoulders, hips, legs, neck, or back.  its amazing multitude of techniques and adjustments, improve posture, breathing, flexibility, immune system, digestion, circulation, and more.
