Thai Yoga Massage - Overview
Thai Yoga massage is an ancient healing art, with roots in the Indian Ayurvedic medical system, and passed down from teacher to pupil since 300BC. It is a combination of comfortable stretching, applied yoga and acupressure.
The treatment covers the entire body, working through an energy line system (the Ten Sen) through which the body’s natural life force flows. Aches, pains and dis-ease within the body can arise from blockages along these lines.
During a treatment the therapist uses a combination of their hands, feet, knees and elbows to apply pressure along these lines, whilst moving the body into yoga type positions and gently stretching. This releases blocked energy from within the body in order to free the body’s own healing potential, and so restoring balance, health and harmony.

Contraindications A health questionnaire needs to be completed before treatment so that any movements which are contraindicated for certain conditions are avoided. Each treatment is therefore tailored to the individual. In some severe conditions, Hanna may need to have a consultation with your doctor or relevant therapist first.
A typical session
A full treatment takes around 2 hours. For the treatment the receiver wears loose comfortable clothing, and is worked on from a futon on the floor.
The body can be worked on in up to four positions - front, side, back and sitting, depending on the suitability for each person.
Each treatment is adapted to the individual and so only the stretches appropriate for each person are used.
Cost / Number of sessions The requirements will vary person to person depending on your reasons for coming. This can be discussed with Hanna.
