Thai Yoga Massage refers to a form of body therapy and massage originating in Thailand. Intimately connected to Buddhism, this therapy is practiced in a meditative spirit.
Thai Yoga Massage is composed of muscular pressure, dynamic and fluid stretching, joint mobilization and acupressure points. This massage is fundamentally about gentleness and listening to the body, while at the same time having the tools to go deeper into the muscles if necessary.
The meditative attitude required in Thai Yoga Massage brings greater connection to the present moment and induces an intuitive contact with the patient, enhancing the treatment experience for both the person being massaged and the masseur.
Thai Yoga Massage helps to release muscular tension and energy blockages, restoring the body's flexibility and mobility. The aim is to achieve a state of general well-being, both physically and spiritually. It is often considered a holistic way of caring for body and mind.
Unlike many other types of massage, Thai yoga massage is performed on the floor on a mat or mattress, and the recipient wears comfortable clothing.
Thai Yoga Massage sessions last from 60 to 90 minutes, and movements are often adapted to the recipient's specific needs.
