Thai massage, also called Thai Yoga massage, is an ancient and sacred system of healing with roots in yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and Buddhist spiritual practice.  It is a unique and powerful system of bodywork, which combines rhythmic massage, acupressure, gentle stretching, energy work, and meditation.  The goal of Thai massage is to stimulate and balance the flow of healing energy within the body, opening blocked areas and bringing the client deeper into balance and harmony.  It creates a powerful release of stress and tension, improves flexibility and circulation, increases vitality and deepens the connection between mind and body in both giver and receiver.

Thai massage is unique from Western forms of massage in that it is practiced on a padded mat with the client wearing loose, comfortable clothing.  The client is moved through a series of postures and positions by the practitioner using palms, thumbs, elbows, forearms and feet.  It is often described as “having yoga done to you.”  Recipients of Thai massage usually report a heightened sense of well-being following a session, which often manifests as a sensation of feeling simultaneously energized and relaxed, invigorated and deeply peaceful.
