The six key points of Thai Massage

1. Yoga: An ancient Indian science of holistic health dating back thousands of years. Yoga means "union", yoga is a science which brings us in union with the divine. Yogasanas are postures that stretch the muscles, relax the body, calm the mind, and relieve tension. We practice yogasanas, pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation to prepare ourselves for giving Thai Massage; many yoga stretches are used in Nuad Bo-Rarn. As the recipient receives the benefits of yoga passively, Thai massage has been described as "Yoga that works as massage" or "Yoga for lazy people".

2. Exercise: The giver of Thai massage is always moving in a consistent rhythm and simultaneously benefits from the techniques being applied. Nuad Bo-Rarn is a form of exercise toning both the giver and the receiver.

3. Meditation: Thai massage is given in a meditative state and from the principle of compassion. The rhythmic manipulations of Thai massage provide a haven for a natural response towards deep meditation.

4. Reflexology: Thai massage acts not only as a kind of "passive yoga" but also as a form of reflexology; focusing on the feet, hands, ears and face.

5. Acupressure: In Nuad Bo-Rarn we work on the energy lines (called Sen lines) of the body to relieve tension and blockage so that the energy can flow freely. These lines are similar to the meridians followed in the Chinese system of acupuncture but more closely resemble the "nadis" of the Ayurvedic system from India. The acupressure points are worked using the thumbs, elbows, fists, and heels.

6. Healing Art: The combination of yoga, reflexology, and acupressure make Thai massage a very unique healing art which integrates mind, body, and spirit; thereby improving overall health and well-being.
