Thai
Yoga Massage
History
More commonly know as Thai massage, this ancient therapy originated in
India
2,500 years and was developed by an Ayurvedic Doctor and
celebrated Yogi ago during the Buddha’s lifetime. This form of
healing spread along
with Buddhism to the Temples of Thailand where it was practised
by Monks, and soon became an element of traditional thai
medicine to treat many ailments and promote overall well being.
At the heart
of Thai yoga massage lies the energy system of Sen Lines. These
Sen Lines, similar to meridians, run throughout our body and are
responsible for the free flow of energy. If this flow becomes
obstructed, mental and physical imbalance occurs which may
manifest in the form of disease, aches, discomfort and emotional
problems.
About
Thai yoga
massage combines gentle stretching, acupressure and applied yoga
based postures to help re-align the body, aid good posture,
increase flexibility and alleviate pain or discomfort.
Stress and
tension is relieved by deep pressure which is applied to muscles
and nerves by the practitioner’s hands, feet, knees and
elbows. Throughout the treatment pressure points are engaged to
help stimulate our own natural healing and encourage the flow of
Prana (energy). Thai yoga massage is given in a rhythmical
manner with each movement flowing into the next creating a deep
state of relaxation, allowing our body and mind to become calm
and peaceful. Treatment is given through clothing and is carried
out on a comfortable padded floor mat.
Thai
yoga massage can help with many ailments or conditions, maintain
general well being and aid relaxation. It is suitable for anyone

Thai Foot Massage
Thai foot massage is a luxurious treatment of the lower
legs and feet which incorporates gentle stretching and
massage of the reflex points and Sen Lines (energy
lines). The reflex points, which stem from Chinese and Ayurvedic
medicine, are stimulated by using a traditional Thai stick to
allow for accuracy of the pressure points. Our feet are the maps
of our body and by stimulating the reflex points and Sen Lines
we can start to encourage the free flow of energy and begin the
process of self healing. Thai foot massage not only balances the
body’s energy but also boosts circulation, improves immunity
and promotes relaxation. Thai foot massage is an integral part
of traditional Thai medicine and is practised commonly
throughout Thailand today.

Thai yoga massage
Practitioner LITYM. (Dip) |

Previously qualified in other complementary therapies, I
felt the need to offer
something more dynamic than regular massage which had
depth to it. As a yoga
enthusiast, I found the combination of yogic postures
and acupressure truly amazing and extremely powerful on
every level.
This keen interest led me to
London
where I had specialised training with a Thai yoga
massage Master at the London Institute of Thai Yoga
Massage. My qualifications are recognised by many
professional bodies including ITTA (International Thai
Therapists Association).
Having obtained a practitioner Diploma with credits, I
feel privileged to be able to offer this ancient healing
art to the western world and to continue the truly
amazing tradition of Thai yoga massage.
