What is Thai Yoga Bodywork?Thai Bodywork is a 2500 year old healing art combining the ancient wisdom of Yoga from India, Energy Lines and Acupressure Points from China and Southeast Asia and the Meditation Practices of Buddhism. The founder of Thai massage and medicine is Shivago Komarpaj (Jīvaka Komarabhācca) “Father Doctor”, who is said in the Pāli Buddhist Canon to have been the friend and contemporary to the Buddha. The practice today is simple put combining Yoga Asana, Meditation Practice of 'Metta' (loving kindness) and the Energetic understanding of the Body. The practitioner used their whole body, the hands, feet, elbows, knees, and forearms to apply pressure to the energy lines of the body in order to release tension and restore balance. Unlike regular Massage during Thai Bodywork the receiver keeps their cloths on and the bodywork is done on a mat on the floor. Thai Bodywork has been likened to "lazy mans yoga" as the receiver is stretched out with out having to do a thing. It's like getting yoga done to you.
