Thai Yoga Stretch Massage explained

Thai Yoga Stretch massage is a traditional healing art that combines acupressure, yoga, and passive stretching. It’s often called “lazy yoga” as the practitioner guides you into yoga-like stretches while you remain passive. The benefits include improved flexibility, stress relief, enhanced energy flow, and a sense of relaxation. The massage focuses on the body’s energy lines, promoting physical and mental well-being.

During a session, the practitioner uses hands, feet, and body weight to apply pressure to specific points while guiding the recipient through assisted yoga stretches. This helps release tension, improve flexibility, and promote overall well-being by balancing energy flow in the body.

Yin Yoga explained

Yin Yoga is a mild approach to yoga, focusing on the gentle stretching, strengthening, and loosening of the connective tissue, fascia, and ligaments in your body during the poses. Throughout the practice, the stimulation of meridians occurs, enhancing the flow of energy throughout the body. Transitioning smoothly from one pose to another at a calm and slow pace, poses are sustained for a longer period. This practice allows for a conscious relaxation of all muscles by maintaining focus on your breath. Consequently, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated and the mind calms down, leading to a decrease in stress levels, promoting the body’s recovery and energy restoration, and facilitating a profound state of relaxation.
