Make sure you come with comfortable clothing... and just do yoga... without doing anything.

Thai Yoga

Thai Massage is an interactive manipulation of the body using passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines. These movements help to:

Adjust the skeletal structure
increase flexibility
relieve muscular and joint tension
stimulate internal organs
balance the body's energy system

   The effect is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing. Receiving a Thai massage is a bit like doing yoga without putting forth any effort while also getting acupressure treatments!

   Sessions typically last one or two hours, and are performed on a floor mat with the client dressed in comfortable loose clothing. Thai Massage uses two primary procedures - applying gentle pressure with the hands and feet, and a wide variety of passive stretching movements.

    With these techniques, applied in a quietly meditative atmosphere, space is created in the muscoskeletal structure, the body begins to open and regain flexibility and ease of movement, while the mind gently returns to calm alertness. Tension and toxic material is released from the joints, muscles, and connective tissue. The energy body, as well as the internal organs, are stimulated by pressure on peripheral reflex points.

   The work displays a knowledge that developed over centuries of practice. There is something in the essence of this work that appeals to a wide range of people on a core level; something that satisfies their physical and emotional needs, and perhaps even assists in their spiritual needs.

   It appeals to people, and is effective, because it treats the client with respect while encouraging them to let go of physical and emotional restrictions and to go beyond their present limitations. Or, as a client once observed, "it's a whole and total approach to wellness" which allows one to "feel in harmony with the rhythms of life".

   This ancient therapy is beneficial for young or old, active or inactive, healthy or not so healthy. While each person will respond to this work in terms of their own experience and present state of health, it is well to remember that Thai Massage has been used for countless generations to treat degenerative conditions and promote wellness.

   Thai Massage facilitates a sense of unity, wholeness, and balance. It creates a dynamic physical experience which integrates the body, mind, emotions and spirit.

 

 ASHIATSU

 

 

                                                                                                   

The root word “Ashi” means "foot" and "Atsu" means "pressure", so together they symbolize foot pressure. Traditional barefoot Ashiatsu has been performed in Asia on a floor mat for 3,000 years.
  Sometimes referred to as barefoot Shiatsu, is a well documented, effective technique for the treatment of chronic

 

lower back and neck pain. This unique deep pressure work is performed with soothing strokes that are applied to all areas of the back using hand and foot pressure to milk the muscles, open chakras and release toxins. This treatment is guaranteed to induce deep relaxation, relieve tight

 

muscles and to stimulate the body's own self-healing capabilities.

Ashiatsu combines the best elements of traditional Thai massage, barefoot shiatsu from Japan and Keralite massage from southern India

   By working with the body, Ashiatsu can heighten total (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) awareness. Treatments typically include stretching, stimulation or sedation of acupressure points/meridians, and structural alignment techniques. The work is effective and clients will often feel the work deeply in their muscles, internal organs, and bones.
"the deepest, most luxurious massage on the planet."
