FAQs
What is Thai Massage?
Traditional Thai Massage is a dynamic healing art utilizing ancient techniques.
The therapist applies gentle deep pressure along the body's sen lines (energy lines) to stimulate the body's energy to bring balance and health.
The Thai practitioner works along these meridians using a combination of yoga stretches, reflexology, acupressure, adjustments and internal organ massage, resulting in one of the most energizing and healing forms of massage you will ever experience.
Traditionally Thai Yoga is practiced on the floor, on a large, mat. The client may wear Thai fisherman pants or comfortable, moveable workout clothes.
No oils or lotions are used during the session.
Styles of Yoga
-
Yin – Gentle stretching with longer, passive holds (3-5 minutes) allowing the body to relax and release on its own. It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. To be healthy, we need healthy organs as well as healthy muscles and also offers wonderful emotional and mental health benefits.
