Thai Yoga and Thai Massage are cause to celebrate! People, products and services based on traditional Thai and oriental health principles are helping all move forward in a good way. Here you can find useful information, Certified Thai Practitioners, Thai Therapists, Thai Yoga and Thai Massage Schools and Institutions of Holistic Health based on Thai Yoga, providing you with access to Thai Yoga and related health arts. Thai Yoga is a CAM practice, a form of complimentary and integrative medicine and alternative healing. Based on ancient Yoga and Ayurvedic sciences, it incorporates everything from Yoga asana and Yoga therapeutic practices and postures to Reflexology and Thai style foot massage. As a holistic and natural based holistic health system we believe and teach in our classes that the human body is sacred and all touching is significant. It is impossible to separate the mind, body, emotions and spirit into separate parts. Thai Yoga treats the whole person in their entirety... mind, body and spirit. More than this, we teach in our trainings that the therapists, facilitator and or healing arts practitioner is as much a part of the healing process as is the client. In fact, the therapy is considered as a healing place for the healer as well. The healer is not separate and apart from the client; they are co-facilitators and participants in the practical expression of love.
Thai Yoga is many things and can be many more. It depends on the necessity, desire, focus and skill of the practitioner in harmony with the necessity, desire, receptiveness and presence of the client. It is direct action of a healthful and beneficial nature. It is the expression of undiluted loving kindness in physical form. It is a picture of compassion made concrete and available in tangible form. And why not? Why should impartial, cold and sterile medical science be more productive, effective and appropriate than healing science based on the expression of one's love? For thousands of years real life experience has proven otherwise. Thai style healing therapies my be the most significant advance in physical medicine for the management of chronic pain and resulting disability. Thousand's of clients have received, finally, relief from chronic back pain, migraine headaches, soft tissue disorders and syndromes, complications of inflammatory process, lymphadema, joint pain and emotional disease and distress through this form of healing touch. The Dancing meditation of Thai Yoga is also special in that it seems to perfectly support and integrate with virtually every other conceivable healing method from Chiropractic and Osteopathy to Cranial Sacral and Chakra balancing. It's energetic focus on Prana, Chakras, Lom and Sen lines or Thai "meridians" is similar to that of acupuncture and shiatsu.
