Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Bodywork is based on
traditional Thai massage. The technique
has
been described as assisted Hatha yoga.
It
is a full-body massage performed on
a floor-mat,
in comfortable clothes. It incorporates
Tai
Chi moves, rhythmic motion, palming
and thumbing
along energy lines (sen), gentle stretching
and breathwork to provide both a physical
and an energetic massage. The practitioner
uses her hands, feet, arms and legs
to guide
you into various yoga postures, while
remaining
focused and centered. This creates
a slow,
flowing "dance" around your
body.
The results are consistently a greater
sense
of well-being and relaxation. You will
more
fully inhabit your body after receiving
a
TYBW session.
The free-flow of energy, has positive
effects
both physically and psychologically.
It helps
release tension, opens and limbers
up the
entire body. By opening up the body,
energy
can flow more easily, which helps alleviate
common problematic conditions such
as lower
back pain, arthritis, headaches, digestive
difficulties, menstrual problems and
stress-related
conditions.
