Thai Yoga Massage
Thai massage is a sacred form of bodywork widely practiced in Thailand today. For centuries it was done in Thai temples and homes. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, but seem to have derived from Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Yoga, Buddhism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Thai indigenous healing arts. An amazing form of massage evolved from these various influences known as Nuad Bo' Rarn which literally means "ancient healing touch". In recent years, various other names have been given to it such as Thai Massage, Traditional Thai Massage, Thai Yoga Massage, and Traditional Thai Yoga Massage. Thai Massage recognizes an extensive network of energy lines which run throughout the body. Through deep pressure point work on these lines, stretching, reflexology, joint mobilization and assisted yoga poses, Thai Massage strives to bring balance and harmony to the body. Thai Yoga Massage sessions will help to increase your flexibility and release your stress. The massage is done fully clothed on a comfortable mat on the floor. The style Richard does is from northern Thailand and is based on the work of master healer and teacher, Pichest Boonthumme.
