Massage

A Traditional Thai yoga massage experience is a rhythmic, restoring, and rejuvenating one. With the application of rhythmic pressure on certain points and energy lines in the body, the yogic stretching of muscles and joint manipulation, blockages can be released and the energy restored to its natural flow. By using body weight, correct posture and the hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, feet and forearms the massage is able to go deep into the internal organs and soft tissue. Because this massage is working on the different body layers (koshas) the release works on an emotional, energetic and physical level. The overall effect is one of deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and physical and mental well being.
