This wonderful, ancient treatment dates back over 2,000 years, originating from Indian and Buddhist traditions, including Ayurveda (the term Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (science or knowledge).
The service is now more commonly referred to as Traditional Thai, or Thai Yoga Bodywork.
During the service you remain fully clothed, whilst laying on a super comfy Thai mattress, supported with blankets, bolsters and cushions as required.
Alberto employs a number of techniques including:
- Acupressure - (using Hands, Thumbs, Fingers, Feet) to apply pressure directly along the energy points (meridians, or Sen Lines) in your body. Your therapist will focus on ten main Sen Lines. This will release areas of blocked energy in the body, helping to bring the body back to a state of natural equilibrium, where balance and wellbeing are present. The main energy lines run throughout the whole body, with some focus applied to legs, back, head and shoulders.
- Manipulation – the lengthening, twisting and mobilisation of limbs, joints and spine.
- Dynamic Movements – gentle rocking and assisted yoga style stretches. Using body-weight instead of strength and a steady and meditative rhythm, Thai Yoga bodywork looks and feels like a graceful dance between giver and receiver.
The benefits are countless.
By freeing the flow of vital energy in the body, Thai Yoga Bodywork can improve posture, breathing, flexibility, digestion and circulation. Muscles are stretched, inner organs toned and emotional and nervous tension is reduced. Often a deep sense of peace can be experienced during and after the service.
