What is a Thai Yoga Massage

Based on tradition and techniques dating back more then 2500 years ago, Thai Yoga Massage is both an invigorating and relaxing form of Traditional Thai Medicine as practiced in Bangkok's Wat Pho. Using a combination of yoga-like stretches, acupressure, and muscle compression, this form of healing is said to be like performing yoga without all the work. The Practitioner uses a combination of hands, feet, knees, and legs to move you through various stretches performed on a mat.

What you can expect

Thai Yoga Massage is performed fully clothed on a mat with sessions typically lasting 1 hour. With this in mind, you need to arrive with comfortable clothing that allows a full range of motion. Yoga clothing is perfect. You will be required to complete a short questionnaire concerning your current physical health. The Thai Therapist will perform an assessment and decide which of the 160+ poses will be performed to best meet your needs. Typical introductory sessions last 45 minutes while a complete massage incorporating all poses can last for more then 2 1/2 hours. Multiple sessions may be required to relieve your symptoms.
