Thai Yoga and Massage

Thai Yoga and Massage are cause to celebrate! People, products and services based on traditional Thai and oriental health principles are helping all move forward in a good way. Here you can find useful information, Certified Thai Practitioners, Thai Therapists, Thai Yoga and Massage Schools and Institutions of Thai Yoga, providing you with access to Thai Yoga and related health arts. Thai Yoga is a CAM practice, a form of complimentary and integrative medicine. Based on ancient Yoga and Ayurvedic sciences, it incorporates everything from Yoga positions and Yoga therapeutic practices to Reflexology and Thai style foot massage. As a holistic and natural based massage sytem we believe and teach in our classes that the human body is sacred and all touching is significant. It is impossible to separate the mind, emotions and spirit into separate parts. Thai Yoga treats the whole person in their entirety... mind, body and spirit. More than this, we teach in our massage training's that the therapists is as much a part of the healing process, as is the client. In fact, the therapy is considered as a healing place for the healer as well. The healer is not separate and apart from the client they are cofacilitators and participants in the practical expression of love.


Thai Yoga is many things and can be many more. It depends on the necessity, desire, focus and skill of the practitioner in harmony with the necessity, desire, receptiveness and presence of the client. It is direct action of a healthful and beneficial nature. It is the expression of undiluted loving kindness in physical form. It is a picture of compassion made concrete and available in tangible form. And why not? Why should impartial, cold and sterile medical science be more productive, effective and appropriate than healing science based on the expression of one's love? For thousands of years real life experience has proven otherwise. Thai style healing therapies my be the most significant advance in physical medicine for the management of chronic pain and resuting disability. Thousand's of clients have received, finally, relief from chronic back pain, migraine headaches, soft tissue disorders and syndromes, complications of inflamatory process, lymphadema, and joint pain through this form of healing touch. The Dancing meditation of Thai Yoga is also special in that it seems to perfectly support and integrate with virtually every other conceivable healing method from Chiropractic and Osteopathy to Cranial Sacral and Chakra balancing. It's energetic focus on Sen lines or Thai "meridians" is similar to that of acupuncture and shiatsu.

-I have been practicing massage for 5 years and Thai massage for 3 years. I truly love this modality and how it works the entire system. I became fascinated with the correlation between the sen lines in Thai massage and the myofascial meridians in Tom Meyers' work and have found a happy marriage between the two. I learned Thai massage from masters who taught me the spiritual as well as the physical aspects of the work. My goal is to keep that as pure as possible while my hands become more informed. I look forward to hearing from you.
