Thai Yoga
Thai Yoga is performed on a heavily padded floor mat in loose and comfortable clothing. Thai Yoga incorporates slow rhythmic movement, gentle stretching and traction, and palming and thumbing along energy lines. In Thai Yoga, the receiver would rely on passive active stretching, relaxing into the stretch using only the force of your body weight and/or externally applied weight from the Thai yoga practitioner. To get a picture, imagine being assisted through a slow, meditative, full-body series of deeply restorative yoga poses while massage and acupressure techniques are applied to your Sen (energy) lines. And now you know why Thai Yoga has been dubbed "The lazy man's yoga"
The compression touch technique of palming and thumbing used in Thai Yoga acts as an assistant pump to the heart, increasing blood flow without straining the heart. As well, the pressing and pulling of the extremities stimulates local circulatory pathways. Postures that raise the leg encourage the flow of blood back to the heart. The sooner blood returns to the heart the sooner it begins its journey of delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body and removing waste materials through the venous and lymphatic systems. In addition to stretching and tonifying muscle, Thai Yoga improves circulation, relieves muscular tension and spasms, helps to expedite digestion and metabolism, boosts the immune system, balances the energetic body and induces a calm mental state. Through stretching and massaging the network of energy lines Thai Yoga releases tension and promotes the free flow of prana, making the entire body more limber. By opening the body and improving energetic flow, one can alleviate common problematic conditions such as lower back pain, arthritis, headaches, digestive difficulties and stress related conditions. Thai Yoga also promotes centeredness, contentment and improved sleep.
