What Thai Yoga Massage is
Thai Yoga Massage is a form of bodywork performed on a padded mat rather than a massage table. The client remains fully clothed and no oils or lotions are used. A session combines assisted stretching, compression, rhythmic movement and acupressure-style pressure.
The important difference is that you are not expected to "do yoga." I guide the movement. Some positions may look similar to yoga stretches, but each session is adjusted according to comfort, mobility and how the body responds on the day.
What happens during a session
We begin with a brief conversation about what you are looking for from the session and anything relevant that I should know before we start. On the mat, the work can include gentle compression with the hands, palms, forearms or other appropriate techniques, along with assisted movements and stretches.
There is no benefit in forcing a stretch. If something feels too strong, uncomfortable or simply not right, the position or pressure can be changed. Communication is part of the session, not an interruption to it.
What to wear
Wear loose or flexible clothing that allows your hips, knees, shoulders and arms to move comfortably. Sportswear, soft trousers, leggings, T-shirts and similar clothing usually work well. Because Thai Yoga Massage is fully clothed, you do not need to undress or prepare for oils.
Why people choose this style
Some people prefer Thai Yoga Massage because they enjoy a more movement-based session. Others simply prefer staying clothed or like the combination of pressure, stretching and relaxation. It can also appeal to adults who want a session that feels less passive than a traditional relaxation massage.
Thai Yoga Massage versus table massage
Neither style is "better." They are different experiences. Thai Yoga Massage uses a mat, clothing and assisted movement. Holistic table massage is performed on a professional massage table and may use flowing Swedish-style work, deeper pressure, hot stones, Indian Head Massage, Shiatsu-style pressure or Thai-inspired techniques depending on the session.
