What is Thai Yoga Massage?

Often affectionately referred to as ‘lazy person’s yoga’, Thai Yoga Massage uses stretching, yoga, and acupressure to bring about physical and emotional wellbeing.

It has its roots in ancient Indian Buddhism. The physician Jīvaka Kumar Bhaccha (Śivagokumarpaj), close friend of the Buddha, is said to have developed this powerful healing tool over two thousand years ago.

There is a meditative quality to Thai Yoga Massage. It cultivates mindfulness, with touch as an anchor to the present moment, and can be thought of as the physical application of ‘loving kindness’ meditation, or metta.

‘I felt so refreshed after the session, and peaceful in my mind’ - T. R.

What are the effects and benefits of a Thai Yoga Massage?

Thai yoga massage is effective for improving mobility, posture and circulation. It relieves aches and pains, and gives a sense of deep calm and relaxation.

Thai Yoga Massage affects both the physical and energetic body. Immediately after a session it is common to feel either very lively, or very sleepy. Over the following few days this effect will balance out, leading to a sense of lasting balance and equilibrium.

‘ I enjoyed the stretch… especially helpful for my neck and shoulders. Felt relaxed and stretched afterwards, very good for my lower back’ - L.B.

How long do Thai Yoga Massages last?

Full Thai Yoga Massages are thorough and usually last for around two hours. Shorter massages, from an hour to ninety minutes, focus mainly on the physical benefits.

Thai Yoga Massages of any length offer a sense of calm and relaxation afterwards.

‘Emma has this beautiful ease about her that really helped me relax into the process’ - K. M.

What can I expect during a Thai Yoga Massage?

During a Thai Yoga Massage, your body will be placed into different positions in order to apply therapeutic stretches and pressure.

Massages take place on the floor, on a comfortable mat or futon. Both the giver and receiver of the massage need to be able to move freely, and so both wear loose and comfortable clothing.
