Thai Massage Thai massage is an ancient modality with its roots in Northern India, Buddhism and Ayurveda. It is referred to as the “the lazy person’s yoga”, which was created to prepare the body for meditation. The students will learn a 90 minute meditative flow that combines assisted stretching, acupressure, and compression to improve flexibility and balance the body’s energy by dissolving blockages and alleviating stress. Thai Massage can support the students into their current practice, is adaptable to the table, and employs body mechanics that will support the longevity and endurance of their practice.
