Thai Yoga Bodywork

Nuad Boran (Thai Bodywork) is an ancient practice that can be traced back to India 2,500 years ago at the time of the awakened Buddha. The origin of Thai medicine is attributed to Dr. Jivaka Kumar Bhacca, physician to the Buddha and the Sangha. According to legend, he was born with a bag of acupuncture needles in his hand and was predestined to become a doctor and royal physician.

The Thai tradition employs an exceptionally wide range of techniques. The practitioner uses thumbs, fingers, palms, forearms, elbows, knees and feet. Thai Bodywork is a dynamic combination of myofascial stretching, joint mobilization, acupressure, energy balancing, rhythmic deep tissue compression, soft tissue manipulation, assisted yoga asana, and Buddhist meditation. A comfortably soothing, meditative, rocking motion is its trademark, while joints are opened and muscles and tendons stretched.  

Thai Yoga Bodywork is performed on the floor on a mat.  The practitioner moves around the client performing a variety of techniques specific to the client's needs while maintaining an awareness of the client's body and energy. Thai Yoga Bodywork focuses on the vital pathways of energy throughout the body.  During a session the energetic pathways are addressed and pressure points which are found along the traditional Thai pathways are stimulated removing energy blockages which restore the flow of energy.  The client leaves the session feeling restored and revitalized.
