Welcome

Thai Yoga and Thai Massage are cause to celebrate!
People, products and services based on traditional Thai and oriental health
principles are helping all move forward in a good way. Here you can find useful
information, Certified Thai Practitioners, Thai Therapists, Thai Yoga and Thai Massage
Schools and Institutions of Thai Yoga, providing you with access to Thai Yoga and
related health arts. Thai Yoga is a CAM practice, a form of complimentary and
integrative medicine. Based on ancient Yoga and Ayurvedic sciences, it incorporates
everything from Yoga positions and Yoga therapeutic practices to Reflexology and
Thai style foot massage. As a holistic and natural based massage system we believe
and teach in our classes that the human body is sacred and all touching is
significant. It is impossible to separate the mind, emotions and spirit into
separate parts. Thai Yoga treats the whole person in their entirety... mind, body
and spirit. More than this, we teach in our massage trainings that the therapists
is as much a part of the healing process as is the client. In fact, the therapy is
considered as a healing place for the healer as well. The healer is not separate
and apart from the client; they are co-facilitators and participants in the
practical expression of love.
Thai Yoga is many things and can be many more.
It depends on the necessity, desire, focus and skill of the practitioner
in harmony with the necessity, desire, receptiveness and presence of the
client. It is direct action of a healthful and beneficial nature. It
is the expression of undiluted loving kindness in physical form. It is
a picture of compassion made concrete and available in tangible form.
And why not? Why should impartial, cold and sterile medical science be
more productive, effective and appropriate than healing science based
on the expression of one's love? For thousands of years real life experience
has proven otherwise. Thai style healing therapies my be the most significant
advance in physical medicine for the management of chronic pain and resulting
disability. Thousand's of clients have received, finally, relief from chronic
back pain, migraine headaches, soft tissue disorders and syndromes,
complications of inflammatory process, lymphadema, and joint pain through
this form of healing touch. The Dancing meditation of Thai Yoga is also special
in that it seems to perfectly support and integrate with virtually every other
conceivable healing method from Chiropractic and Osteopathy to Cranial Sacral
and Chakra balancing. It's energetic focus on Sen lines or Thai "meridians"
is similar to that of acupuncture and shiatsu.
