Traditional Thai Massage (called Nuad Boran in Thailand) is
also known as Thai Yoga Massage as the practitioner assists
the client into movements and stretches similar to yogic
asanas. Renowned the world over for its therapeutic
qualities, it is best described as a rhythmic ‘dance’ that
soothes, energizes, and rejuvenates the body. The focus is
on opening blockages with pressure point work along energy
lines with luxurious & enjoyable stretches for the whole
body. Highlights include:

* Learn a two-hour traditional and professional Thai full body
massage
* Includes many wonderful yoga-like stretches that are fun
and easy to do
* Appreciate how relaxing and rejuvenating it is for both
client and therapist
* Practice performing techniques on a floor mat, chair, or
adapted to a table
