What is Thai-Yoga Massage?

“Thai-yoga is the practice of connecting with oneself, with others and with the world around us. This massage technique seeks to focus on one’s own experience and to broaden the understanding of the relationship between body and mind”.

Thai-yoga massage is based on two of the three basic principles of Thai massage: these two principles are stretching and compression.

The third principle is the pressure points: they are located along the energy lines (Sen Bb) and are passively activated. Since the energy lines run through the whole body, any movement and pressure is coupled to the energy lines themselves.

This massage technique is sometimes known in the West as “Assisted Yoga”, this is because during its practice manipulations are performed that lead the receiver’s body into postures similar to the Yoga Asanas, with the particularity that the receiver does not need to move, he/she has to be relaxed and all the action is performed by the masseur.
