Thai Yoga Massage Explained
Thai yoga massage is an ancient, Eastern form of bodywork. The treatment works on the body's sen (energy) lines and incorporates the use of acupressure, yogic stretches and twists as well as breath work.
You will be 'ironed out' using thumb, palm, foot and elbow pressure along points on your body's sen lines in combination with energising stretches from your toes to your fingers. These techniques unlock good energies and expel bad energies that slow you down.
Thai massage is a whole body technique. Attention is given to feet, legs, hips, the stomach, the lower and upper back, the shoulders, the head and face, which is why sessions are often longer than many Western massages. Thai yoga massage is given in a meditative manner and is often called 'the physical application of loving kindness' because the giver wishes good health and happiness upon the receiver.
