Thai Yoga Massage

Nuad Boran, or Traditional Thai Yoga Massage, is an ancient therapy with a history of at least 2,500 years. Traditionally practised in the Buddhist temples in Thailand, it is regarded as the physical application of compassion and kindness.

The Massage makes use of the energy lines of the body, also known as meridians. The practitioner applies pressure to these energy lines using palms, thumbs, forearms and even the feet, inducing a profound state of relaxation. Thai Yoga Massage also involves gentle stretching and manipulation of the joints. A number of assisted yoga postures are used.
However, Thai Yoga Massage is more than a physical therapy—it is also beneficial emotionally and works to balance and harmonise the entire body. The rhythmic movement of the massage helps to clear energy blockages and thereby restore health and harmony.
The circulation is improved by Thai Yoga massage, leaving the receiver with a feeling of relaxation and mental alertness.
