What is Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage?
Centuries ago, a dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga and Ayurveda was born in the temples of Thailand. In this unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage - also called Nuad Boran and widely known as traditional Thai massage - the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy ("Sen") lines and pressures points.
Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that
*relieves muscular tension
**improves circulation
***boosts the immune system
****balances the body energetically.
Thai Yoga Massage is performed on a mat on the floor; both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility. No oils or creams are used.
The lotus is a symbol of loving-kindness and compassion. As such ‘Lotus Palm’ means “the compassionate touch” which is the spirit of our school and our work.
The Lotus Palm form emphasizes using the least amount of effort to achieve maximum results. Training focuses on the skilful use of proper alignment, body mechanics and positioning of the practitioner. There is strong emphasis on safety and on easy, flowing transitions from one posture to the next.
Perhaps the most vital element in the practice of Thai Yoga Massage is to bring a spirit of loving-kindness (metta) and compassion to your work. With spiritual awareness you generate your natural healing powers and develop genuine satisfaction that comes from within.
