What is Thai Yoga Bodywork?
Posted on June 14, 2023 by pilatesnative
Thai Yoga Bodywork is frequently called Thai Massage, Thai Yoga or Thai Bodywork. It fuses assisted stretch, massage therapy and energy work into a single modality. Combining yoga influenced stretches with the physical pressure of massage, Thai Yoga Bodywork focuses on the energetic lines of Ayurveda and Chinese acupuncture.
What to expect
Thai Yoga Bodywork is performed fully clothed while laying on a thicky cushy floor mat. The practitioner may use their body, hands or feet to create leverage and pressure in different poses or stretches. Thai Yoga Bodywork is done in a slow methodical process, which helps the brain and body relax.
Common Benefits of Thai Yoga Bodywork:
Deep relaxation
Stress relief
Increased flexibility
Relief from muscle tension
Improved range of motion
Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
Reduced headaches
Increased energy level
