what is this "thai massage" you keep talking about??
Thai Yoga Bodywork or Nuad Boran is similar to Shiatsu in its Asian roots, its use of energy lines, and its meditative nature. It involves a lot more stretching, and you are placed in a series of positions throughout the session (seated, supine, prone, supine, in cobra pose, etc. etc.) Sometimes it is referred to as the “lazy person’s yoga.” It is much more necessary to be on the floor mat for a Thai session, due to all this moving around.
Thai Bodywork has its roots in India and China originally (depending who you ask), and ended up in Thailand with the migration of Buddhism. The traveling of cultures around Asia contributed to the creation of both Shiatsu and Thai Yoga Bodywork. Lucky for us!
