What is Thai Massage or
Thai Yoga Massage?

The History
The history of Thai massage began in India, over 3,000 years ago. Its roots lay in Yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and Buddhist spiritual practices. In the Thai language their massage is called Nuad Borarn, which means ancient massage. The founding father of this healing art is linked to an Indian doctor and contemporary of the Buddha named Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha. The teachings of Jivaka, spread throughout southeast Asia, reaching Thailand in what is believed to be 2nd or 3rd century BC.

How Thai Massage Works
Thai Massage is a unique and powerful Therapy, which combines rhythmic massage, acu-pressure, asanas (Yoga stretching exercises), gentle twisting, energy work and meditation. Thai Yoga Massage stimulates and balances the flow of energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked. Bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health, happiness and well being. This system creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality, it deepens the connection between mind, body and spirit.e and will leave you feeling relaxed and with more energy.



I really love giving Thai Massage and I believe that if you come and take a short course or receive a Thai Massage then you will too.

Most of you know that I teach and give Thai Yoga Massage. Maybe in some cases you've even received a massage from me, so you know how wonderful it is. I'm writing you to get the word out so even if you don't want to do this for a living it's also something you can easily learn and give to people you think are in need of a good massage.

My school, Metta in Motion, has a whole stream of short courses which are designed for casual students who just want to learn to give a compassionate massage.

These short courses are inexpensive and will train you to give a 20 minute, 1/2 hour or 1 hour massage that your friends will adore! The benefits of giving or recieving a Thai Massage are many, and here are 3 to get you started ...

1) So many of us lead stressful lives, and this massage is all about stress-reduction. A good stretch, a friendly massage and spreading compassionate touch = just what the body needs!

2) It feels great for the receiver but also for you too. A good Thai Massage is defined by how it makes you feel, relaxed and full of life.

3) It's an eco-friendly and unique gift that you can give to friends and family. As one of my students recently said, "It has been such a joy to give massage to friends for birthdays and Christmas. Much better than a sweater!"
