Thai Yoga Healing Arts Body Work is an ancient healing technique enjoying recent popularity in the west. The Thai Yoga healing session is performed on a floor mat. The client wears comfortable shirt and slacks, plain old cotton works best, T-shirts are fine. The hands and feet are usually exposed. The session generally lasts 90 minutes, initial sessions usually last about 120 minutes.

Some have described it as yoga being done to and for you. At times the session is soothing and relaxing and other times may be vigorous. The practitioner does all the work while the client relaxes and allows all their tensions to dissipate.

The Thai Yoga practitioners hands, feet, knees, forearms and elbows apply Thai acupressure (jap sen), reflexology, applied yoga, deep gentle stretching, joint compression and decompression and rotation with rhythmic breathing to awaken and remove stagnant and negative energy from blocked and broken sen lines (energy meridians). The stagnant and negative energy is replaced with vital energy, increased circulation of blood and lymph glands, flexibility and increased range of motion, grounding, balance, relaxation and improved posture.

This ancient technique can relieve stress, aches and pains of hips, back, neck and head, constipation and premenstrual symptoms, and release lactic acid and other toxins.

After the session you will feel relaxed and invigorated as if after a good healthy workout and massage. You will breathe more fully and healthfully and enjoy a sense of over all well-being.

THAI body work is best when received on a regular basis. Once a month for a healthy person with no injuries or chronic pain is ideal. More frequent sessions can provide much needed relief from minor injuries and chronic pain.

All Thai Yoga Healing Arts Body Work therapy sessions are by appointment, in the studio or at your home. A clear space about eight feet wide by ten feet long is needed to accommodate the mat and working space around all sides.
