Thai Yoga Massage
Thai Yoga Massage is said to have been developed in Northern India c2500 years ago. As Buddhism migrated to South-East Asia, the practice travelled to Thailand. It has its roots in yoga, Ayurveda and acupressure.
The practice of Thai Yoga Massage is holistic, clothed, whole body treatment carried out on a futon on the floor rather than a massage table. The recipient is positioned in a variety of yoga positions coupled with deep static and dynamic pressure. The practice is a form of meditation in action. Each treatment relies on listening to the needs of the person receiving the massage and is unique for each person. The massage is performed with fluidity and rhythm, incorporating movement and stillness, a mindful connected flow of energy between giver and receiver.

Trainings and teachers
I was first inspired to train as a Thai Yoga Massage therapist when attending a workshop with Krishnatakis in 2013, who I consider one of my main teachers.
Since then, I have trained with a number of other leading practitioners including David Lutt, Kira Balaskas, Pau Castellsague and Flora Bisogno.
Through these trainings I have developed a deep understanding of both static and dynamic techniques.
I have also trained in Lomi Lomi and Ayruvedic Yoga massage, oil-based massages, that integrate well with Thai Yoga Massage.
