Yoga Massage |
| Thai Massage came from India and was brought
to Thailand 2500 years ago by Dr Jivaka Kumarbhaccha. A contemporary
of Buddha, he came to Thailand around the same time that
Buddhist monks brought Buddhism to Thailand.
When receiving Thai Yoga Massage, one is receiving the
vast benefits of the ancient practice of Yoga, upon which
this work is established. This slow and meditative massage
quiets the body and the mind. Circulation is increased;
muscular and nervous tension is relieved; flexibility
is improved. The immune system is therefore given a boost,
and the body/mind/spirit are balanced. All's well that
bends well. This work is both preventative and corrective.
